Your boyfriend probably needs a time off. that's what we call "cool off". The guy clearly needs space to think ,, after sticking with you for five years, maybe he's still confused if he's ready to commit with you. But cooling off doesn't necessarily means you're break with him. Of course he's still your boyfriend, but he needs time to think about somethings. A month you say, if he doesn't call you after that, you may assume that your relationship might not be guaranteed...or he might have found someone else..but do give him a month if he asks for it. Guys are sometimes like that, maybe he feels that your relationship is getting predictable... ^_^ A time for himself may be what would clear his head up for a commitment.

It sounds like to me that your boyfriend has his eye on another female. I'm a male myself and can say without doubt that a guy in love or even strong like for that matter will NOT ask for time out. The whole thing about him not wanting commitment is him basically telling you that he wants to keep his options open in case somebody better comes along. Don't try to force him to be with you. Give him his space and don't even try to contact him, no matter how bad it hurts; and see what happens! If it'll make you feel better, my 2 best friends are BF and GF and they will have been together for 9 years this July. They broke up one time for 3 weeks and got back together and haven't looked back since! So there's always hope for you!

Hi, Like you said, He doesn't want to commet,and it sounds like he is tired of his relationship with you. I don't want to her you,but this jerk whats to start sleeping around,and see if he can move in with another woman. You sure deserve a lot better than what this piece of crap is doing to you. If he left some of his clothes with you,throw them out your window,and next time,if you see him. Tell the cheater,to get the hell away from you,and never come around you ever again. Then move on with your life,and find someone who really loves you,and what's to spend his time with you. A Friend

After 5 years he can't commit? Hmm...now he wants a break huh? In other words, he's met another girl that he wants to have sex with and see if that works out before he totally ends things with you. Do him a favor, don't agree to the break and breakup instead.

that's one thing i couldn't understand. it's one thing if he wants a break..but its another thing if he wants a MONTH off. this is not a job...you don't get vacations for a month from your relationships. usually when people take time off they dont know for how long they want to be apart...and that all depends on how much they reflect on the relationship when they are apart. i think he is definitely up to something...and that might just be it that he doesn't want to commit. but after 5 years..i kinda am confused as to why NOW he doesn't want to commit.

I think you need to respect what he wants, but it probably means one of two things will happen: either he wants to see if there is someone else better for him out there, or he will find out how much he loves you and never leave you again after that. (you know the saying... if you love it let it go, if it was meant to be it will return to you.... or something like that)

That usually means he needs some time to think. I do that, when im not sure where something is going, or when i need some time to see if i really do dink about the girla lot while we're on break, they always come back.

been there, done that. A month will turn into 2 months, and that will turn to three months, until he finds someone else.
i advised my girlfriend that I wanted a break for a month, and it ended up being 5 months, and by then I had found someone else.

It means that he wants to be single. You might be angry now - but feel thankful that he's telling you now. Not knowing what's going on is one of the worst feelings. It hurts and it'll hurt for a bit - but move on, do your own thing. You'll look back on this later on and be happy that it happened this way.
