I've heard from some people that when your relationship hits a year and a half, you usually have a break. My is ex-boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half and he told me that he needed space from me. Does this always happen and should i wait and let him realize what he have together?

I think that in this case you really don't have that many options. You have to let him be and hope that he finds his way back to you. Some guys have this idea of being alone as a time for them to just clear their heads and it may only take a couple of days but some go freedom happy and take a couple of months. From personal experience, don't keep pushing him to be with you. Let him do what he feels he needs to do. You want him to come back to you whole heartedly and ready to be with you without a doubt not with a clouded mind. Remember that what's yours is yours and no one can take that away. If you guys are truly meant to be then he will be back soon enough.

It always happens when the relationship isn't right, sure. And it may be at 3 months, 5 months, 14 months, 18 months, 21 months, 78 months, or whatever. I wouldn't bank on having this person in your life again. Instead, get on with your life and be who you are without worrying about this person who obviously doesn't care about you.

I agree with both of the previous posts.

But I wanted to add that a break IS NOT NORMAL when a relationship is just fine.
