I just don't get it
| Fri, 12-29-2006 - 1:24am |
So about a month ago my boyfriend tells me that we need a break from our relationship until things are better for him. I didn't and still don't have a problem with that. I've learned to give him his space. What I want to know though is what does being on a break actually mean? I've asked him recently if we were going to get back together and he told me yeah. He didn't say when though. Is it ok for me to talk to other guys or would that be considered cheating even though we are not technically together just yet. I want to remain faithful to him while we aren't together but I'm tired of waiting and I'm ready to move on. Besides sometimes I think he's just telling me what he thinks I want to hear. I would rather he was honest with me and tell me what's going on. I don't want to start dting someone else and then he decides he's ready to get back with me. How do I get the truth out of him, so that I know what he says is what he really wants?

When one mentions a "break" one must define the terms of that break. If your boyfriend expected you to remain exclusive then he should have said so at the time.
He might have suggested a break as a cowardly way of breaking up with you, figuring you would go away quietly.
Perhaps you should be honest with him and take control. Write him an email telling him that you are ready to move on and then do all the dating you want.
