What do you do if your boyfriend wants a break from the relationship but not from you?

Answer 1

Well you have no choice but to give him a break. Now it depends on why or how long you have been together but it probably means he doesnt want to be with you or he wants to do other "things". At least he took a break and didnt cheat. I would recommend not hooking up with anyone in case you get back together you don't want to have that in your mind. But if you fight him on this then he will run farther away because if he needs space then smothering him wont help. My boyfriend said he wanted to be single for away so he didnt have to answere to me. Then he slept around and when he was done wanted me back. Dont let him do this, but just be strong and independent during the break and that could make him realize he wants you.

If your man needs a break, give it to him. Sometimes men need time to themselves to do their own thing. Just like you do, even if you don't realize it. Chances are he wanted this break because you two spent too much time together and he just wants some time to figure out what he wants to do. Be careful, I lost someone I loved very much because I didn't give him his space.

Answer 2

While there are very few long distance relationships that work the stats show most never get off the ground. Humans need to be in contact ... see the person, touch and have some sort of relationship other than reading emails or talking on the phone. It's a little different if you have a boyfriend or husband and they are off to an out-of-town job or war because you've had a relationship and memories to go by and thus, you can wait until they come home. Since he didn't tell you if he just needed head space or he's met someone else it's hard to gauge what is going on. Since he told you it's head space then you are going to have to accept that and move on. Before you move on email him one last time and say, "I'm so glad you brought that up because I've been feeling the same way. Perhaps down the road sometime we can contact each other again." As much as it hurts you have to move on. If it's any consolation there are millions of people who have had heartbreaks in their lives and they survive and eventually meet someone even better. Next time meet someone the good old fashion way! Good luck

Answer 3

You let him. Any resistance on your part will only push him away further. Take the break as time for you. During his absence, find ways to take care of yourself, love yourself and be your own best friend. If and when he decides to come back, he'll find a more self-confident person in you!

Answer 4

Give him time and space, maybe he needs some time alone or he just needs to see other girls; you can't expect to have the same guy for the rest of your life, so while he's doing that you also have the chance to do the same.

Answer 5

Let him have it, and move on. Assume he is not coming back, because it is easier to deal with emotionally. If he does want to come back, he will in his own time, and then you can decide whether you want to take him back or not.

If you try to force him to stay with you, it will just push him away further. Let him know how much you care for him (if you do) and tell him he should do what he wants.

Answer 6

Usually, not good. He might want to leave you. It's like quitting a full-time job. That's what a relationship is.

Answer 7

doesn't this mean you breakup with her it she wants a "break"? or she wants some time by herself.

Answer 8

I think that you should give him some time. He still likes you, right?
