What do I do when my girlfriend tells me, we need to take a break?

Ok, I really really need help:’(…ok yesterday my girlfriend told me she wants a break because she doesn’t know who she is anymore and she wants to experiment being alone and she only knows herself as “my girlfriend” not alyssa: “that’s her name”: so I am really really depressed and today my friend came up to me and gave me the necklass that I gave to her as a present that she nvr took off:’( what do I do?!:( do I talk to her? Or what?… Please help me, I really miss her and love her and she said that she still feels the same way as before:meaning she still loves any a lot: but she said she might be making a mistak by doing this: what do I do?!:’(

Answer #1

here is a concept that is interesting and may help. In an article I read, it said that some people (women and men) if in a serious relationship, tend to eventually ask for a break. The reason? If they dont see an end in sight (which is good) and see the relationship going to a life together, marriage, kids, etc, then at first they are very happy but then they might obsess. They see the ties, they see that they will never kiss another person again, (not that they’d want to, but its the fact that they COULDNT if they wanted to) so before it gets more serious (to the point when a break would be a very very bad idea ex: marriage and kids) they take a break, to experiment and fullfill their curiosity before they come back and settle. HOWEVER… this is not the same for every situation, and I dont want to give you too much hope, but it has been known to happen that people take breaks out of fear. If they are the type of person that over analyzes and mulls over things a lot, then their mind could have gone like this


Im never going to leave this person. I love them so much. … Hmmm…I am NEVER…going to leave this person.

I love them now…but this is it…the fun and drama filled search for the One is over now…

what if I get bored?

But I know that in the end I want to be with this person…I just want to feel that fun…

what if…one day I cheat?


so it depends on the person and the situation but under all the thoughts, your girlfriend could just be making sure that you are the one she wants to be with. But remember, she did give back the necklace, so it could also be a break up in disquise. Dont be too hopefull. Dont look like you are completely moved on or she wont want to risk asking you if you want to be together (embarassment) but dont look obsessive or she might see that looong and committed road up ahead.

So give it time. Be patient, but dont hope too much.

The solution to your issue happens to be really simple…just give her what she wants which is space…this what about to say is the most vital rule you must not break…dont let her know how much her choice is hurting you!!! Just tell her that you love her and you would like for things between the two of you to work out but you respect how she feels…after you do that do not and I repeat do not make further contact…you have to make her see that you want her instead of need her like a new born puppy that still has not opened its eyes yet needs his mother…if you see her around try and make sure your looking your best…if your out and about with frends take pics and post them on a social site a social site…this will futher make her see you love and want her but you dont need her…if she calls you tell her your busy and that you will call her later…when you call her later make it short and dont let her get off the phone with you…you try and get off with her…try and keep it between 5 to 10 minutes…if she sends you a text…do not reply!!! If you choose to reply wait like a hour before you text her back…keep in mind that she is only making contact with you to see how your handling the situation she is putting you through also because she is missing the attention you once gave her…you might feel the urge to start telling her how much you love and miss her…do not I repeat do not do that!!! Talk to her as you would with one of your male frends… You dont have to be stone cold to her…just dont get all soft and mushy…you have to make her see that your a great guy and that she should feel honored to call her self your gurlfren…

Answer #3

TRY NOT TO BE THE ONE WHO MAKES CONTACT…LET HER CALL OR TEXT YOU INSTEAD…ITS A GOOD CHANCE SHE MIGHT START TO CALL YOU AND TEXT YOU TELLING YOU HOW SHE IS SORRY AND THAT SHE IS READY TO WORK THINGS OUT…EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT BE GLAD TO HEAR THAT…DONT GIVE IN TO EASY…SHE HAS TO WORK TO GET YOU BACK…ITS THE ONLY WAY SHE WILL TRULY APPRECIATE YOU…THE REASON FOR HER WANTING A BREAK COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS…WHEN A GUY FIRST GETS WITH A girl…HE IS USUALLY FUN COOL AND SPONTANEOUS…ONCE HE FALLS IN LOVE HE SOMETIMES GETS WEAK AND OVER MUSHY…a lot OF GURLS DONT LIKE THAT…IF YOU GET HER BACK YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SHOW HER YOU LOVE HER AND AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAIN YOUR MALE EDGE THAT GURLS LOVE…SHE MAY STILL LOVE YOU…YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST BECAME BORING TO HER…TRY DOING THE THINGS I MENTIONED…IF YOU NEED A COACH SEND ME A MESSAGE…THE REASON I AM SAYING THIS IS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THROUGH WHAT you are GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW…AND I HAVE SEEN a lot OF MY FRENS GO THROUGH IT…GOODLUCK!!!

Answer #4

just give her time and she willl get back with you soon. shes probbly curious about how it feels to be wit out you. dont talk to her like a lot and you guys will be back together soon

Answer #5

Ok dont listen to smoky321, I know this is a tough time for you but if you truely love her you’ll set her free so she can come back. Its like she has given you everything she has and she doesnt know or dont have anymore to give, and by letting her have her own time, gives her the time to look for the person she once was and that was loving you, have faith in her, she’ll be back as she said so trust her and dont ignore her but show her because you love her so much your willing to support her.

Answer #6

Trust me, girls need some breathing time. Maybe you are spending too much time together or she has some other things on her schedule … she will come back! hope I helped ;D

Answer #7

okay, give her a bit of time. if she really does still feel the same way, then she’ll eventually come around. :) it’ll be okay. just relax, and try chilling with friends to distract you if you feel really depressed.

Answer #8

that just means it’s over and she doesn’y want anything to do with you ever,
