writes:My boyfriend and I have been going out for two years. He says he wants a "break" because I doesn't feel he deserves me right now and feels he needs to mature before he can have me. He said he can't go on hurting me anymore by stupid things he does he said he knows he's been a prick to me and wants to be happy and is doing this because he loves me and wants me to be happy and mabye find a guy right for me. He wants to still hang out and we have been it doesn't even feel like were on a break because we still talk all the time he tells me what he's doing and everything. We talk on the phone every night and hang out during the day. We've stopped spending the night together to slow things down. I don't know what to think he said he's not going to see other girls because he wants to be with me but is giving me the opportunity to see other guys if I want to. He says he just wants to get things together when he feels he's ready for me. How should I take this? He says he thinks it'll make us stronger I say it there's no reason to even call it a break. we're not letting our families know or any friends just between the two of us.

No it won't. I think he wants out. If a guy really loves you, that last thing he wants is to break.

I think he is being honest to a certain extent in that he is letting you go off to find someone else...but he's not doing it for you. He just wants to keep his options open and make you think that you're going to get back together, but in the the mean time he is perfectly within his rights to meet other girls even if he is saying he's not going to do this. He knows that the likelihood is that if he's still around and you're still hoping you will get back together then you probably won't actively look for anybody else or get over him enough to be able to do anything with anyone else...he's actually being very manipulative x
