Is taking a break from a relationship detrimental? My boyfriend of almost 4 years all of a sudden started feeling and acting weird. One minute he is so loving and the next he is irritable. I suggested to him that we take a break and at first he didn't want to do that. Then after four or five days, he agreed that maybe we should take a break for a week for him to take sometime to himself to figure out what is wrong with him. Should I be worried? I mean does this mean that we are doomed?
Thanks Artsyguy. I was starting to get a little worried. I just don't understand the purpose of taking breaks in a relationship. I mean if we were married, he wouldn't be able to take a break. But you are right, I need to stay positive.
Have you talked to him about his mood swings?
Maybe there is something going on in his life that has his mind elswhere?
His job? Family problems? etc...
umm pfft. mood swings, irratability can all be bad signs.. breaks cna be dangerous.. seriously. especially if the other starts sleeping with someone else.. not to scare you, it jsut happened to me like 1 week ago soo..
Well it sounds like he just NEEDS SOME SPACE
not TAKING A BREAK as you call it
Most people see it as two different things
NEEDS SOME SPACE As I see it is when
some one needs some Personal space to
work out their own personal issues (life directions)
TAKING A BREAK Is where there is usually a
relationship problem (you should then be worried)
that involves both people in the relationship dealing
with the issue.
I think you need to explain to him which one of these this is?
Tell him you Two are very much together.No confusion.
