Question - (1 February 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 2 February 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I have been on our relationship for year now, and he asked me for us to go on a break again. He says he loves me and that he still wants to be with me but he need sometime off. I really didn't want to go on a break again. I did not enjoy it the first time at all and I didn't want to go through it again. But because I love him so much I agree to go on a break. When I came back from our talk, my friend called me and asked me if everything was ok with my boyfriend because in his facebook statues he put that he was single. I don't understand what that means. Please help :(

Thank you so much for all your answers. It really helps me getting different opinions from others.:) This is of course quite frustrating. If I knew that he was messing around with other girls I wouldn't even be here posting this. I think that what I at least deserve from him is honesty. But hey, not all of us has the guts to be honest.

I am going to see him in about a week and try to figure all this out. Thank you again for all your help. I really appreciated.

xanthic agony auntIt means he thinks you just gave him permission to cheat on you, and he's going to take full advantage of it. 9 times out of 10, that's why people want to take a 'break' from a relationship.

Don't let him or anyone else treat you this way, it's up to you to make him choose to either break up or stay together, nothing in between. As things are now, he's keeping you around as a backup while he fools around with other girls. Once he's had his fun he'll come crawling back.

Don't ever, EVER compromise your feelings or do something you're uncomfortable with just because you love someone. He's taking advantage of that and will continue to do so as long as you allow it to happen.

My guess is he wants to cheat on you. Don't be fooled. Relationships don't get fixed by taking breaks.

The Realist agony auntIt sounds to me that he wants some time to be single (ie. fool around with other girls). I hate the concept of a break because nothing actually gets better from it. It just sounds really sketchy to me and I would consider not getting back together with him because of it.

When you're in a realtionship you can't just turn it off and on based on what you want to do that weekend.

I think that you should find someone who really wants to be with you.
