Is a break healthy in my situation?

Question

Me and my boyfriend have dated for a year and two months today. He broke up with me 2 nights ago and I knew it was the wrong thing. I went to his house today to talk to him to see what's up. He's a photographer and in the past I've gotten upset about pictures he has taken. I had gotten very insecure because in my relationship before him I was cheated on so many times. He wants to make it to the top with his photography. I'ts his passion in life. We both want to be together forever. He told me he wants to make so much money so we'll be successful later. I know he's the one for me. And we've agreed to take a break because he really feels like I need to take a look at his photography and his passion and accept that 100% and support him before we can build our relationship stronger. We've been through so much we've cried together and lived through eachothers dreams. I just want to know from others who have had a break, did it make you stronger or did it turn out for the worst in the end?

Answer 1

while i have not been on a break (unless you call a separation followed by divorce a break) --- i really cant see how being apart to consider your relationship helps ---- you need to resolve your problems together not apart --- otherwise how are you going to handle all the problems that will occur while you are together??? ---- as far as his work goes if he does it professionally and with skill he should be congratulated --- to produce an artistic and commercially viable product is very difficult and you must support him in that --- dont look at the subject look at the skill needed to make it look attractive and saleable ---- best wishes
