The Art of Thinking

Don’t give up on someone if they tell you they need a break. What they are saying is - "I need some time on my own to figure out things in my life, and are you strong enough to support me even in that?" Any human communication is always at bottom a request - it can be a request for recognition, for respect, for love, but it’s always a request. And even if the request is ‘can you leave me on my own for a while?’, if you want her/him to keep loving you, or even rekindle some love they may feel they’ve lost, then what you need to do is show them that you respect what they need, that you can support them by leaving them alone, and that you’re strong enough so that they can come back to you when they’re ready. It’s confusing, but have confidence. It may be the best thing your relationship could get.

And if its true love, you both will do whatever it takes to make the relationship strong, and if giving each other some space is one of those things then a break is the answer. BUT please, sit down and talk about it first, let the person know your reasons why you both need a break, and the values of the relationship, if you really love him/her and just want to learn to appreaciate him/her more, then be HONEST. if during the break time, instead of missing each other and changing your attitude towards the other person one of you starts dating someone else or just stops loving the other completely, then sorry but theres no remedy for that. Love is like a bumarang, let it go, if it comes back it was meant to be, if not then you need a new bumarang!
