My boyfriend recently told me he wanted to take a break because he feels overwhelmed by everything in his life right now and needs to regroup. He said it would only be for a couple of weeks and we could still see each other but he didnt want to remain boyfriend and girlfriend. Should i be suspicious even though he has reassured me there wasnt another woman?

He is going to have lots and lots of sex with other girls.

I can understand a guy wanting to take some time off for a rest but not taking time off from being boyfriend and girlfriend. That sounds a little too much like he's looking for a chance to play the field with the reassurance that in a couple of weeks he can come back to you.
I would recommend that you tell him he can have his break and that you'll not contact him if that will help him rest, but let him know that you'll still be a couple and you'll be happy to see him in a couple of weeks. If he gets insistant about not being a couple, then he may be hinting that he wants to break up or wants to fool around.

My b/f said that...he told me that there was another girl he might like. I let him go, I said the words "I'm breaking up with you." Because he didn't want to hurt me. Well that was BS since the day after he calls me to tell me about the great hookup with this other girl...say the words for the guy. He's just a wimp. You will feel better if you say the words, and if he really cares and begs you to not break up, he might still care for you. If he is protesting a breakup but wants time off, trust me there is another girl. You have to decide if you can handle him with another girl or not.

he could be trying to let you go easily and taking it slow as not to hurt your feelings, or he could be interested in someone else and wants to test the water, but keeping you hanging on just in case it's not what he wants
It's weird that he said a couple of weeks and that he didn't want to stay bf/gf! My husband before we got married said we needed a break, but didn't break up with me, he just needed some space. I was back over there a couple nights later! Some men just need their own space sometimes. I really don't know what your man's deal is, it does sound weird though!

Your boyfriend might just need some time. Give it to him. If he feels overwhelmed let him get things together. He will come back to you if he feels he is ready to handle a relationship. If he doesn't come around in a couple of weeks, confront him. If he tells you there is another girl then be angry but right now just give him time.

Well sorry about this that is going on in your life! Sounds like he is trying to break up with you, and not wanting to hurt your feelings, because he cares about you.
Hope that this separation is going to make a new start for the both of you. Take care and remember this has nothing to do with you!
Anyways have wonderful day!

If there isn't another women then why take the break ? If you guys are still going to talk and see each other than what is the point of the break ? I would say its so he can date someone new and it wont be considered cheating.

Sorry, him saying he wants to take a break is his way of breaking up with you without having to say he's breaking up with you. The short of it is he's too wimpy to truly break up with you. If someone loves you, they don't need a break from you to "regroup". Dump him now, cause he'll string you along. It's better to feel the sharp pain of a break now then to keep hurting. Dump him! You deserve someone better.

the writing is on the wall , take it for what it's worth at least he told you, and yes there is someone else. he is just testing the waters to see if she is worth the move. but on the other hand if he really does have other things on his mind and really needs to take a time out he does not have to break up with you to do it. all you would have had to do was give him his space by not calling and bothering until he felt better to deal with you . i think my first answer is the right one, think about it

It´s tough, but it´s over, girl. Do not be the first to call and be the first to hang up. Raising the interest level again, might be the only remedy short of breaking up and looking for somebody else..

My boyfriend also told me the same thing when we were together...Now we have broke up because of the little time apart he wanted..Time apart only means one thing"cheating"..If he only wanted time apart you two could remain together and be boyfriend and girlfriend..Because the way he is making it sound is like he only wants time apart to think..So I would becareful.Don't set yourself for a heartbreak..
