on a break with gf

well my girlfriend of 2.5 years told me on thursday she wanted a break and i said thats ok n she wanted to get bk with me in a while because she needs time to jus be alone (confused me no end) but im finding it hard to cope without her and im just nervous incase she dosent wana get bk. from what shes told me that she still loves me n wants to see me again in a while (hope it aint long) do you think shes talkin crap or really does wana see me.

give her the space she asks for, and hope she misses you. it's all you can do. if you beg and stuff, you'll appear desperate and annoy her, and she could come to think she has you under her thumb.

Seconded. You will obviously have a much better idea of how the girl feels about you than we do, all you can do is give her a bit of space. Hope things work out for you.

not helping me is the fact that my m8s have all went off to the raf and i've not got many m8s at the moment and it doesnt help me as i've noone really to talk about and since im off school nothing to take my mind off it.

Awww mate I feel for you, I know someone whos acting the same way with me... Like jus being really distant, didnt say anything about it though! So its just confusing me! If I say anything about it, like talking first when I dont get a reply, as someone said, itll seem like they got me...

If you wanna talk though, we are here for you! ;grin;

Just ignore her for a bit... They always miss us if they have the chance to... Jus dont be all clingy etc...

It works out in the end!

yea thats what i've been doing. was talking to her on msn and just getting on normal. i mite ask her to meet up this or nxt week
sorry to be mean but usually it means she wants to break up but just hasn't get the balls yet to do it. Of course i could be wrong though

breaks suck.... i swear they were invented by soaps too.

she could have had her own space while still being with you, ie not on a break, but just going out with her friends more, or something like that.

breaks usually either last a few days, or ages/forever, when my gf wanted a "break" it lasted a few days.

Ermmm... Id say dont, cut ALL contact... Otherwise like someone else said, it might be a way of letting you down easy? Not sure...

You could ask her why she wants a break? And then say you dont really do breaks, so its together or not... Obviously youll get the answer straight away, and might not like it! lol

Nah, leave it a bit longer than that. In fact, resist temptation to conact her at all mate, leave her to contact you.

Agreed! Dont chase after her... That only works if shes low self esteem! Lol no offense DomTom, Im sure your gf wanted a break for different reasons, like I dunno... Not givin a **** about her or something lol

If she wants time, give her time... And shell contact you when shes ready, in the mean time, have fun being single! ;grin;

aaahh, you poor thing, being a girl I don't understand the whole break thing either even though my friends have tried to explain it to me but all I want to say is if she really wants to get together with you again and she thinks that the break will make your relationship stronger thens it worth a try :biggrin:
hope that helps
