Time Off or Over?

When you/your significant other stopped calling each other, when can you assume that things are over between the two of you without discussing it together?

When does the gray line end?

1 week? 3 days? 1 month?

Is it necessary to get to the "end it" part to move on or can you just date others without discussing with each other?

andesm...

Ending it...or keeping a relationship going while dating someone else...really depends upon the couple, doesn't it?

When you finalize something...there's usually no way of bringing it back. If a couple agrees that a "time out" is in order and they're not uncomfortable when one (or both) date others...this leaves the door open for a reconciliation. But keep in mind...that a reconciliation isn't necessarily going to happen between 2 people.

So look at the time frame of your relationship...the feelings you have for it...the feelings your partner has...and it should be obvious in which direction you wish to head.

Best of luck and warm wishes from...

My best friend. Very much in love. We hate the guy. Everyone hates the guy. To me he's a jerk and I don't know what she sees in him.

The guys is a new boyfriend. Nothing wrong just no call for days. He's done this several times. She hates weekends.

We tried to introduce her to someone else several times but she kept resenting because she loves the person. She has doubts and want to back out. Not how long this will last. I see a glimpse of hope in her considering another opportunity. Maybe soon this will be over.

It sounds like this is a situation that has been going on for some time, like several months?
