Do "breaks" usually end the relationship?

alright the other day my girlfriend texted me and told me she wants a break in the relationship. This was out of the blue even she said it was and for no reason that I know of she wants a break. I called her the day later to ask why she wants a break but all she said was she didnt know. she usually tells me she loves me and wants us to stay together forever and be highschool sweethearts so this completely surprised me. does breaks usually end up sour or can a couple come through this and how long in your experience or someone elses does this break usually last

If one person in the relationship wants a 'break', thats usually not a good sign. Think about it like this...if you were happy, you really loved your partner, and you wanted to be with that person for the rest of your life, would you need a 'break'? She isnt telling you what shes truly feeling. When someone says they need a break, chances are they just arent feeling the same way they used to. Maybe theres someone else...anyway, give her alittle time/space, and see how things go, but dont wait too long for her.

Anytime someone wants a break - there is ALWAYS a reason. You don't just take a break from someone you are completely happy with. There has to be an issue. Any fights? Has your relationship encountered any major changes? I'd ask her again - you deserve an answer. She's not being direct with you. In all my experiences, 'breaks' happen in different durations. It depends on the relationship and what the issue is. She obviously needs time to re-evaluate your relationship. The longer the break, the less likely it is to work out. It will only end in a sour note if that's how you both leave it. My first point of attack though would be finding the reason...and then asking how long she want to be apart from you. Do not push her though oract as though you're desperate for her. Pushing her will only make her push you away more. Give her the space, and give her time to miss you. Call once in a while to see how she's doing. Hope this helps! GOOD LUCK! I know it's hard.

if she wants a break yes she has a reason. im going through that now but I will tell you that I love him more than anything and him and I both know why we are taking a break. I do love him and he does love me. we will spend the rest of our lives together once we accomplish our goals we have set for ourselves before we can be together and be happy. maybe she just wants to make sure that the feelings she has for you are real. maybe she wants to see if this break makes her miss u. but she might have found someone else and didnt want to hurt your feelings so she just said she wanted a break. what ever happens you will be good in the end if it was ment to be and true love she will come back to you if not then it was for the best that it happened now instead of later.

alright well I asked and she said she wants to date other people for a while. I really love her I just dont think she feels the same any more should I wait or just move on?

I'd date other people too. Do you really want to wait around for her while she's dating other people? However, if you aren't ready to date other people...then don't. Go at your pace. I definitely wouldn't wait for her though because she's openly expressed that she wants to see what else is out there. So, if she's completely happy with you, why would she need to do that?

THEN DATE AROUND ALSO THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER GIRL OUT THERE THAT INTERESTS you MORE.

I had a friend who had a break after an 8 month relationship, and the two were just tired of each other, so they decided to go on one. After they got 'back together' they realised things were better off alone, so they parted ways. Sometimes it ends good, but sometimes it ends the relationship completely. Once you talk things out, you will figure it out

from experencience once when I asked for a break he just said no I don't ever want to see you again. then when my ex asked for a break I foudn soemone else. so I think if it's one sided it doesn't work.

maybe if you both want a break tho you can make it work. it's entirley up to you wether it works or not.
