my boyfriend broke up with because he said he needed a break..?

Question

he said he wanted time to himself, and he wasnt ready for a serious relationship/commitment..

does this mean we are done for good? or should i just give him time to think things over?

Answer 1

You have no choice but to give him time. I wouldn't wait around for him, but given the information, I'd say it's 50/50 that he comes back at this point.

Answer 2

Well, as per my experience the more understanding you behave at some time; the more are the chances of getting him back. It might take some time so you need to patience.

Such commitment fears are commen in guys and is difficult to cooperate. The guy feels like that it is too early to commit, or he can do better. The reason a guy feels like this is when a relationship that was started as fun is getting serious and the guy is not prepared for it. My advice will be that be patient as you were going on the right path as with some amount of understanding you can get him back.

Answer 3

He's managed to fit at least 3 cliches in there...! By the sounds of things i wouldn't waste too much time waiting honey cos those are the sort of classic excuses i used when i was single and wanted to let a man down gently...!

So give him... about a week. Then read 'He's Just Not that Into You', delete his number from you phone and get back out there...!

Answer 4

When I say that to someone it usually means that I am over it. Sometimes I know the guy is really into our relationship, so I tell him that maybe we should see other people, and that is just a way of easing out of the relationship.

But you know him and I dont. I think you know if it is over or if there is still a possibility for a relationship. But I would think that if you had to ask this question maybe you know that it is just about over.

Answer 5

It doesn't really mean that you are done but it could mean a few things. He could feel pressured as well as it could mean he has met someone and it trying to figure out what to do. (You know the dog with the bone story). I take it that you are sure about him because it wouldn't bother you as much but babygirl, I would suggest you continue to date other people if that's ok with him. Maybe you want to suggest an open relationship where you can see other people. I would suggest you don't get your hopes up too high.

Answer 6

Give him time to think it over and show mild interest in him in the process. Unless you feel it nessecary to do more. And unless his intensions are elsewhere, it dosnt exactly mean you all are done, just try to poke and pry a little to get some insight as to why. He may just be having some kinda personal hang he cant figure out.

Answer 7

Give him that break. Like forever. This is a sorry excuse if you ask me. I would find someone else, But choose wisely next time and don't rush things. Relationships that last take time to build.

Answer 8

This is a good time for you to think things over too and decide if you really want to be with him. Wanting that space can go both ways.

Answer 9

When something is good, you don't want a break from it.

He was letting you down easy.

Move on and for heaven's sake, don't call him, don't write to him, and don't email, text or im him. If he really wants you, he will be begging to take you back when he finds out you are moving on.

It's a game men play. They want you more when they realize they can't have you.

Answer 10

Give him time to think over. But if you think that you dont have a feeling for him either then don't care about him. And find another guy that is better.

Good luck!
