going on a break a good option?

[rus10]

been going out with my girl for 7 months, just 'kinda' broke up with her before. i say that i mean we are on a break

thought it was the best thing to do at the time as she said that it seems that it isnt going anywhere.

we both have a lot of commitments. also the fact im away with the army a lot and uni

i hope this break wont last too long and that we can both sort out our priorities.

i feel though that things will be different when we get back together.

any advice?

cheers!

Unfortunately, if you are on break after only 7 months into a relationship then it does not sound like it is going to be lifelong material. Getting back together in the hope that things will be differant usually does not do anything except put off the obvious. It is simply not working. I would recommend getting together and talking it thru and possibly making the mutual decision to move on. Good luck to you

if your freind told you the relationship was not going anywhere she probably meant it, let it go and move on with your life you will meet the right one someday and you will know it   luck jo

breaks hardly ever "work". It's better to have a real conversation with her. Maybe take a day or two to reflect and get the input of not just friends, but someone you can trust (an objective third party).

the grass is always greener no matter what the situation, thats why breaks seem like good ideas. it's better to have it end in a conversation than to painfully draw it out a few weeks. And if she really is worth it, a break will only make your relationship vulnerable - cheating, exes coming out of the wood work, and stupid behavior when going out with friends.
