We were in a rut. But has our break of 5 months gone on too long for us to start again?

Hi all,

Cut a long story short, me and my ex boyfriend were together for four years. We started arguing all of the time and the relationship became stuck in a rut!

We were making each other miserable so we decided to take a break from the relationship as we both agreed that we did love each other, we just need our space to think and see what we wanted.

It's been 5 months and neither of us has contacted the other person. I never thought it would go on this long! I'm not sure whether the relationship is over or what. I would love to try and work things out again as I do love him, but now I can see how we ended up in that rut. The space we had has really benefited me but I'm unsure how to bring things up with him!

Do you think that the time has gone on too long between us for it to still be a break?

i don't think you should give up on something you love. get in touch with him and find out how he's doing. and try to resume where you left off. if he's not interested move on.

You're not on a break. It's over.

Love is not love which goes 5 months without seeking its object of desire.

What kind of relationship takes sabbaticals during the tough times? That's when you're supposed to regroup and make it work. You've proved that the relationship is not strong enough.
