 the thing about this is that when someone calls a break in a relationship they do so because its what they want usually to the other persons despair, the thing is you have to remember it could always backfire...you get your break but the other person gets theirs and the time apart could make them realise that they want something else or maybe that they dont want someone who needs a break from them, or that they want someone who dosent need a break from them.
if you want to make sure its not something you will regret , talk through all the possibiltys and outcomes with your partner then see how you feel about it and how he feels,
breaking up is hard to do but its easier if its a clean break
good luck

 Both mommy and kelly have said it all.
i think if you need a break then you need a break, go for it, but be tactful and explain your true feelings, don't expect him to be happy about it tho if he has no idea it is coming.
I wish you luck x

 I agree with the first reply, if you need a break do it now. The longer you wait to do this the worse it will get, you may start to feel trapped and resent your boyfriend for making you feel that way. I am sure you will feel bad about doing it, but if this is something you need then that has to come first. Be honest with your boyfriend about why you are having thses feelings and hopefully he will understand and support your decision. Good luck.

 Dearie, if u feel u need a break perhaps to sort thing out then u should go ahead and ask him for a break. Make him realise how u sincerely feel about him and why u need a break and for how long if u have a time frame in mind. if u dont take a break now and u indeed feel u need one then u might just end up feeling worse or making things worse staying put in the relationship without sorting whatever is bothering you.
Take care and all the best.
