My girlfriend and I once had an argument, and she got offended by some things I said. She told me she wanted to take a time-out in our relationship.

We have since worked through it, and never did have that time out. However, I've always wondered exactly what she meant at the time? Was it a sign that she wanted to break-up with me? I've never heard of any guy saying that to a girl - "We need a time-out". Help me ladies? I don't want to hear that again, ever!

Well personally when I tell a guy I need a time out its probably because I'm having personal issues, I'm overwhelmed or I'm just unsure about my feelings for the guy
maybe in her case she needed a time out because she was a bit upset and wanted a time out before she did anything she might regret like breaking up with you. So basically a time out means she doesn't want to break up, she just needs time to herself to think and recuperate, plus everyone needs some time to themselves :]

I know when I need a "time-out" it is because I feel overwhelmed by what is going on with my life. It more than likely was due to a combination of relationship stress, work, personal issues, etc. I don't think she ever wanted to break up, she probably was just looking for some time to sort things out in her head. Sometimes if a girl does not want a guy around, it doesn't mean she is uninterested or does not want his support, she probably just wants alone time to works things out on her own.

It means you're at serious risk of losing her buddy, but that she cares enough about you to give you another shot. Don't blow it.
