Break or breakup? 30

Erica Galvan

Honestly, I do not feel that saying you need a break can always mean a break up. One reason why I can prove it is because one summer I was really overwhelmed with my boyfriend and really felt like I needed a break. I explained to him the reason why I wanted a break and was very upset and said that I was not going to get back with him but really was not even thinking about a permanet break up just a break. The reason why I wanted a break was because I felt like I could not breath and like I need time to be by myself. I felt if I were to keep seeing him and calling him as usual I was going to explode and that was not what I wanted to happened. I knew if I wasn't next to him all the time I would miss him and next time I saw him I would want to be around him and not feel suffercated. So what I had done was not call him like the usual and not see him also. Which drove me crazy but I knew that what I was doing was going to pay off in the end when I was ready to continue our relationship. Finally as days went by we started to call each other just once a day to see how each other were. Then eventually we just worked out a schedule on when to call and when to visit so we wouldn't get tiered of each other so fast being that it was just nine months into our relationship. The only one thing that worried me was that I was very nervous because I did not want to find out that my boyfriend moved on to someone else but that would only show me that it was not meant to be. But of course he stood by my side and never gave up on me. Another thing is that I was very young and didn't even know enough to be in such a serious relationship. But not I am eighteen and still with the same person and I feel that both him and I made the right decision to take a break because it just proved to me and him that we can work things out even if it takes a stupid break up to prove it. I am three years into this relationship and had many breaks but the only thing the breaks did was help make our relationship stronger
