I am a bit confused as my boyfriend and I are currently on a "week break". His idea, not mine. This is coming after weeks of not seeing eachother much and him having financial and physical problems that in turn created arguments and not really getting along.
We have been dating a year and have been through all kinds of drama... we got engaged, then got un-engaged, were expecting a child, lost a child, he was in a bad accident and hospitalized for weeks, he has gotten 2 DUI's... I could go on and on. And not all in that order!
Anyways, in my mind you either breakup or stay together. I just do not understand the "break" thing. He says there are no rules but yet it is not a "guilt free week to do what you want". Am I single? I am confused!
He says it is something to save the relationship. In my mind it is basically breaking up.

Any insight???
Man I read stuff like this and I can't believe women put up with this kind of crap. You must be on the young side.
Not to toot my own horn but, I've never pulled this stuff on any woman I was involved with. Even one's I didn't particularly like.
Do yourself a favor, find a real man instead of a boy

...
Relationships are about finding solutions TOGETHER. He wants a break because he's thinking YOU are the problem...

You deserve to be treated with respect.
That's what I was thinking . Anyway, he sounds like a wanker. A week break? From what? The relationship? Here are the things you need a break from: constant work, constant pain, constant headaches, constant disruptions, constant noise, constant _______ (whatever). He's saying that the relationship is one of those variables without saying it.
The relationship is dead. If somebody said that to me, I'd say, "No, you walk away and it's permanent. Adios."

He's been watching too much daytime morry, montel, oprah or tyra. or possibly soaps.
Basically, he has another girl waiting in the wing and wants to try her out with you to come back to if it doesn't work out.
That said, I agree with everyone else. Dump him and find a real man. Someone who will treat you like gold. they are out there.

Yep. He's bailing on you.
And quite frankly, why on earth do you want to hang onto this relationship? He's having emotional problems, financial problems, legal problems, health problems and every other kind of problem you can possibly name.
To top things off, the two of you argue all the time. I certainly hope the sex is good because that would be about the only redeeming thing in this hellish relationship.
If I were you, I'd welcome a break. A nice long one, lasting several decades. That would give both of you time to grow up.
