Dealing with missing someone when on a break?

Tagged as: Breaking up<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (3 May 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 3 May 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hi all. I'll post this quite quickly as I dont have much time this morning. Me and my bf have been struggling for a while and as scarey as this may be, we have decided to have a break from eachother for a month. This is basically going to involve not meeting up for a month but we'll talk on the phone. Today is day one. I dont feel too bad about it, in fact I feel almost positive?! It's cos I love him deeply and he feels the same way and I think we both want to save the relationship.

Has anyone got any advice as to how to cope with feelings of missing someone and sadness when you are on a break? I know they are going to kick in soon...

Also, anyones personal experience of how being on a break affected their relationship in a positive way?

God Bless and thanks for reading.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (3 May 2011):

I think a break is not a good idea and if you want to work on the relationship you could take some space for a month. A break usually happens when the guy meets someone else and wants to give that girl a fair shot to see if there is potential without his girlfriend interfering. A break ensures his girlfriend won't move on, in case he still wants her, and he won't feel guilty cheating. Taking space from a relationship still bounds both people to the commitment, a break does not. A break is a break up.

Aunty Susie agony auntPersonally, I don't understand the 'having a break' to save the relationship theory. I would think you'd have to work together, to stay together. So I will be interested to see the advice you get. Good luck with it all.
