What He Means When He Wants A “Break”

One brave male blogger discloses the secret message behind that dreaded phrase, “I want a break.” (From Shine)
If you love someone, you enjoy being around them and you would never think of being apart. If you need a “break” to “figure out” your feelings, chances are your feelings are not that strong. There’s a difference between “breaking up,” and “a break.” “A break” indicates the relationship is off temporarily with the possibility of getting back together. “Breaking up” is a definite ending with no indication that you will ever get back together again. Therefore, a “break” is more unfair than “breaking up” because it’s less clear.
Here are a few possibilities of what it really means:
INCREMENTAL BREAK-UP
Some guys are too chicken to break up in one shot. So, they do it in pieces. He might want you to take the hint when he doesn’t call and disappears during a break. Even if you get through it and date again, he may have attained his goal by planting a seed – hinting at a real breakup down the line.
THERE’S SOMEONE ELSE
The easiest way for a guy to keep his girlfriend, while giving in to that meaningless temptation of being with another, is to get it out of his system while on a break. And if he doesn’t have someone else specific in mind, he may just want the freedom to hook up with other people, in general.

Yo..this is what happens when women get advice about men from other women who DONT KNOW WHAT THEY”RE TALKING ABOUT 85% of the time.
Those are legitimate reasons, but they are both worst case scenarios. Usually we still love you, but you’ve been pushing us away lately. We really might need time to get our feelings together and decide if we want to muscle through whatever it is that bothers us about you, or what you may have done.
Another problem may be we need a minute to decide if we want to take that next step into whatever the next stage is. The relationship may be moving too fast for us and we might want to slow it down a little, so a break is necessary.
Am I wrong?
