Question - (7 April 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 April 2008)

Hello!

I've been with my boyfriend for 7 months. Although, he wanted 'space' that; he felt not to be ready in a relationship and that he wanted his freedom back.

We haven't been seeing new people but ourselves to be honest as we were clostest friends after the breakup still but, 2 weeks later he wanted to talk. 'about us'. He wanted the relationship back. This is nearly a month ago now.

So.. this literally counts as a break? I was suprised the breakup lasted just 2 weeks after we got back together.. Does that also mean our relationship is contining from 7 months? Which makes it 8 months from then.

sarah_s agony auntThe reason was not the relationship itself so, therefore there were no actual causes. He just wanted space. That is all. He was confused at the beginning because, I believe he didn't know what he wanted.

So. We've haven't really started from the beginning literally, as the relationship was nothing to do with it as well that was he's choice to make not mine to see each other & keep in contact quite regularly in between his space.

I see this clear now from your answer. Thank-you!

What were the reasons for the break? If you don't know, then you've both have started fresh, starting with day 1. If the relationship was the cause: its a fresh start.

Hopefully this time the communication is better and you each learn more about each other, such as weaknesses and stregnths and how you can be the strength in his weak moments and visa versa.
