Question - (16 May 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 16 May 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a year. For a couple months we have been having some problems, I seemed to have been annoying him and he had been partially ignoring me.

We had a talk today and he said he was depressed because of some things, and he could tell I wasn't happy. We sort of decided to take a break, but I'm not sure if it's an actual break up or what exactly it is.

Laura1318 agony auntA break is just a time out like when you play the basketball game. The coach calls a time out and the game stops for a few minutes.

Wanting a break is not a break up. It is like having a recess and you do your own things. You set your relationship aside .

It could be temporary or it could be permanent depending on any recent developments. If he felt that this relationship is not worth saving , he would want a break up.Hopefully ,he does not carry out this step.

A break is a time to reflect back and meditate about the future.

A break it just what it is A BREAK. Meaning, you guys aren't in a committed relationship and have decided to seperate for awhile until you figure out what you want from this relationship. I would say that you both should set some bounderies while on this "break." For instance, if you don't want each other to date other people...make that known and stick to it.
