writes:Me and my partner have been together for 5 years. Recently things haven't been great between us and I asked him for a break. I have been seeing someone else casually (not behind his back, we have both agreed to take this break) but it's not anything serious, we just provide each other with some company when we want it. I'm writing because although I am seeing someone else I know deep down that I really love my boyfriend and eventually I hope to spend the rest of my life with him. This sounds mad as I'm the one who asked for the break and I'm the one seeing someone else but I only see this as a temporary thing to get out of my system before getting back with my boyfriend in a few months time. Is this normal?? Although I know it sounds really selfish I feel that life is too short to not experience other things and I see this as being something totally seperate to me and my boyfriend. I'm hoping that once I have got this out of my system I can offer myself fully to my boyfriend without any doubts. I'm kind of confused though as this is quite out of character for me, but it just feels right at this moment in time. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been in a similar situation? What are your opinions on it? Thanks.

 Hey huni i was very interested whilst readin your question becuase i feel exactly the same way about my bf at the moment i have been with him just over two year and im only 18 nearly 19 i keep suggestin a break and when i tell my friends about it they say that we might as well split up but thats not the case i really love my bf its just like u i feel that i am too young to be settled down and want to experience new things so your not alone we havnt quite got that far tho as i ended up cheatin on him instead which he now nose about and has luckily ended up stayin with me so i think that if u need to really get this out of ur system then having a break is a great idea as long as your partner seems ok with it other wise youll end up doin what i have done and trust me you dont wanna go there. good luck let me no how it goes :)
