Have ever gone on a "break" and then come back to a successful (or at least a long term) relationship? Because, about 3 days ago, my girlfriend told me things were just getting too serious and we were arguing too much...and I completely agree. And like, we both want the same thing when we get back into the relationship, so we've already talked all that out and I won't make this take long...but basically we're taking a break not from eachother, but just from the relationship...and I think it's a good idea, but regardless I still miss her very much and she still assures me she loves me and I love her just as much back...but basically I'm still worried it won't work out when we're ready again, or at least, it won't be as good as it was. We both also decided it's not our time that we spend together that's too serious, but it's when we're both at home we seem to supplement the lack of physical contact with being on the phone for long hours and always questioning the other etc etc So anyway I don't feel like describing much more, but I just want to know how many of you have actually gone back into a successful relationship after a break of some sort? And how long did it take? Because just knowing that I'm not "with" her despite that she's not seeing other people and I'm not seeing other people is just upsetting...
As a general rule,I usually think a break is bad news. Will you still be spending plenty of time together? Since it's a mutual break...I think you two will be fine. Sometimes,especially when you're young,serious relationships can be overwhelming. A break from the serious stuff,but not each other,could be a really good thing.
Yeah we'll be spending plenty of time together, and tomorrow we're heading to the beach...so I think that'll be good fun, and I guess it's a good sign that now as we speak she called me to ask what kind of sandwhich I want because she's cooking food and packing all sorts of stuff for tomorrow haha
Maybe it will help to have a break from the arguing and you can rekindle it from learning to like each other as friends again? I haven't had a break like this but Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have and they are happily married now ...LOL sorry, the only example I could think of.
well i did that to my fiance of a year and a half, i was only 16 and i just couldnt handle all the serious stuff that was happening. well anyways, he wasnt at all happy but we are in bed together right now, i know the security in the relationship is gone becuase of it but we aRE working on that. you should be just fine.
My current girlfriend and I, who I love with all of my being, took a break about two years ago. In fact, we took two. At the time I was very confused and coming out of a really chaotic situation. I knew I liked her at the time, I knew how amazing of a girl she was -- but I couldn't help but feel as if all I was going to do was hurt her or break her heart. Lucky for me, she was willing to wait for me to become "uncrazy". We've been dating ever since and without missing beat. I just really did need that time inbetween to finally get over some personal issues.
