If your partner wants time away from you...?

Question

If he/she tells you that he/she needs a break from your relationship does this mean it's over?

Answer 1

Though generally,people think a relationship is losing its charm when your partner says they want a break, but i beg to differ.It's true that too much nearness can be killing for the relationship,even for those who love each other too much to be without their partner.Sometime one needs to be with oneself only,to be in solace for some time..so to maintain their freedom some people like to take a break now and then.But it does only revive their relationships,when they come back.A break doesn't necessarily means a "break-up".

Answer 2

I don't think it means "its over" exactly. When you say " needs a break from your relationship" do you mean totally apart, seeing other people kind of break?

Personally I would struggle with this because I couldn't handle seeing other people situations and ending back with the same person. I think a break like that is a big 'Over' but that is just me. I don't think most people feel that way?

If I were you and you wanted to continue your relationship - take the time apart and enjoy your life. You never know, the time apart may make your relationship stronger. You know that saying set it free, if it comes back its yours- if not then it never really was in the first place?

I think it is a very hard situation to be in. Either way you need to give your partner the space they need and just see how things go. Hope everything works out...

Answer 3

In a particular case that I had like this, YEAH! but WAIT! That isn't always the case. I made mistakes in my case, that made it end up that way. I sincerely believe that some time apart can actually strengthen a relationship. I don't know if you are male or female. I'm going to guess male, because it's usually the girls that say they need a break. "Something about them". But anyways, anticipation creates a gut level attraction in females. Could bring her right back to ya. I'm gonna quit pretending you are a guy, cuz I really don't know, and I'm going to give you non-sexist (very good) advice. Let him/her have his/her space. It's the best thing to do, and NO, NO, NO...It definately does not mean it is over.

Answer 4

NO, just that he/she needs a space to think things over about the relationship/ think of ways to improve it and have sometime to realize how it is to be away from the partner. Once he/she approach the other to rekindle their relationship, acceptance, understanding and maturity are surely at hand for each other.

Answer 5

Most likely means it is headed for a break-up... but when people are right for each other, and the timing is right for a serious committment in both of their lives, then even if you break up it doesn't mean you won't ultimately end up together. Just remember to have respect for yourself above all, let him,/her get away if they need to -- stick up for your feelings if you really do feel you love the person tell them, but then just let it be and what is meant to happen really will happen.

Answer 6

I would assume he needed to just have some space for a while to regroup how he feels about you. The outcome could be positive or negative. Be prepared for either senerio.

Answer 7

that person is certainly thinking twice about the relationship.a person who is really in love will never want to be away from their partner. trust me,be prepared for the worst.all you can do is hope that he or she will come to their senses

Answer 8

most of the time it means things are over.

Answer 9

Not really. But most of the time yes

Answer 10

give the time his/her asking for... but that doesnt mean it's over... give him/her time to think on what he/she wanted to do with your relationship
