Taking a break so he can get his life together, really?

true love never ends. If what you guys had was real, then he'll return to you. Sometimes people need that space to really find their identities. It's difficult for the other person to understand and it does hurt, but it's necessary. He shouldn't completely ignore you though. He should at least keep in contact with you once in a while, more like as if you were friends. I think he's trying to get his act together and be a real man so he won't feel like a disappointment to you. He's just a bit confused with everything, no need to worry. These things take time. I don't think that he should ignore you completely though. Just be there for him and be supportive.

Hope that helps :)

I'd just move on. Sounds like he got cold feet about the whole relationship - if he wants to one day marry you, how does breaking up right now help him to accomplish that? You're obviously not ok with the situation and how he handled it (which was pretty immature and arbitrary, btw) so why should you accept it? Shouldn't you have a say in your relationship?

In my experience, when many guys "take a break" from a relationship, they think that it's ok to hook up with other girls. I'm not saying that's why he's doing this, but that it's easy to see the mindset of "technically I'm single." You don't need to start dating right away because you're not over him yet. But if you are interested in someone a few months later, try it out - if the other guy really is getting his stuff together so he can marry you, he'll come back. In the mean time, why should you wait around, wasting your life, when you might find more happiness around the corner?

Honestly I would just move on. His actions speak louder than words and him avoiding you shows just what he wants to do. It sounds like he wants to go have a good time and "test the waters" but is telling you he wants to "keep you" so you can be his backup in case things don't go as planned for him. My advice is to tell him that you can't wait around forever and you deserve happiness. I don't think you should think about dating right away, I would go find a hobby or hang out with friends or heck take a trip and show him you don't need him to have a good time. If in a few months time if he doesn't make up his mind you may want to consider looking toward other prospects.

If you really love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them, then you wouldnt want to take a break from that person. My boyfriend and I have been together 3.5 years (we are both 24). We went to college together, and after we graduated we moved in together. He has a really good job, but I'm struggling to find a good job at the moment. But we go through these things TOGETHER because we love each other and everything that we go through makes our relationship stronger.

I'm sorry, but it sounds like he is questioning his love for you. It makes no sense that he says he needs a break in order to be with you in the future...just doesnt add up. If you truely believe that he is "the one" then you need to have a serious talk with him. You need to put everything out on the table and tell him that he needs to be 100% honest. It's not fair to you that he's expecting you to just wait around all alone for the chance that he'll come back. He either needs to be with you now, or just end it.

You guys havent been together that long. Maybe now that he is out of college and 25 years old, he is feeling pressure to grow up and possibly think about marriage...which might freak him out a little bit. Have a talk with him and explain that you want to experience these crucial life experiences together. I hope everything works out for you!

i'm sorry to pay attention your soreness. I definitely have been there in the previous(yet I dont have 20+ years of marriage yet) yet even although, I understand. Dont be confusing on your self, this replaced into no longer something which you would be waiting to regulate. It isnt going to be common b/c it took a protracted time to get to the place you have been in existence while issues have been great, it is going to take time to recover from it. i think of you need to use this time to artwork on your self. no longer announcing which you fairly like it, yet self progression is often stable. make an effort to re-alter and make your self satisfied. a minimum of you dont could experience as while you're being egocentric now. ultimately, she would be waiting to understand her mistake and he or she is going could take care of it. So enable her do what she experience she could do. break up and notice a councelor to easily talk approximately it( and get all of it out,) and enjoy your existence. merely dont shop it bottle up. some people are keen to threat each and every thing, yet they too will learn that the grass isnt consistently greener on the different part.

sorry its all over --- break = break up ---- and why cant he get his act together while he is with you???? ---- he is looking for someone else or has found someone else but wants to keep you on the back burner (so to speak) in case he does not find anyone else ---- so move on now --- 6 months is more than enough time to decide if you could be happy together ---- best wishes

Translation: "Get his life together" = wants the freedom to date other women. Why else would he need to break up with you only to get back with you when he's ready?? I dated a guy who said something like that once, like, "Well maybe I'll come back to you when I date other women"...uh...I don't THINK so....needless to say, he moved on and so did I..thank goodness. I heard he's still single.

If he doesn't want to stay with you now, then too bad. I say move on and start to date other people.
