Even the thought of breaking up makes me so sad I want to cry
I'd like to echo wmsn's part about break ups if I may...........
I've had a few temporary breaks and we were always great once we were back together but soon as the rekindled flame went out!!!! It was just like before and even worse at times and we broke up perminant.
It can work but end of the day should you decide to take a break always remember you took a break for a reason
I would just call him and tell him what you said in your first post.
I'm sure he can't wait for another phone call!
I don't know that a break will do you any good, but I agree with a pp that it should be longer than a week. Arguing in person for 40 minutes is ridiculous. Over the phone is insane. I once "broke up" with a guy over the phone for 40 minutes (we were in high school). I did the breaking up in one minute and he had to have known it was coming (it was a final comment on our earlier in-person conversation). The rest of the 39+ minutes was him saying he didn't want to break up punctuated with really long silences. It was torture. I wouldn't want to talk with him on the phone again.
We weren't arguing like raising our voices. We were just talking about an issue.
You characterized it as a "fight." Even the most low-key disagreement would exhaust virtually anyone -- especially a guy -- if it went on for 40 minutes.
If you want to take a break just tell him. But you need to really stick to it. No suggesting a break and then texting or calling during it. And you also have to be prepared for the break to lead to a break-up. It may not happen, but it's a real possibility.
Yeah, guys LOVE that for 40 minutes ... on the phone.
Sorry OP but guys won't put up with any discussion longer than 5 minutes, even if THEY"RE the ones talking. They just want it settled and will say ANYTHING to do that...which usually means stuff isn't really settled.
I have, that's why he's exhausted. I feel like I can't discuss my feelings anymore without him getting frustrated.
There are ways to express our feelings without arguing.
You guys should take a break. You need to get your emotions in check.
Maturity comes when you are able to listen and talk in a mild, kind and understanding way.
Take a break. Cry and keep crying till you stop. Then analyze where you are in life. Why am I crying? How can this make me a better person? A stronger person?
I wish you well. After the dust settles you will see the clear picture.

That's exactly what we do though. I guess everyone is confused when I said "argue" I didn't mean a classic example of arguing. We never yell or raise our voices, we talk in a calm manner.
