What does it mean when husband says he wants to take a break?

Break Up & Divorce
He doesn't want to kiss me anymore. What does this mean. We are still together and don't talk about it anymore but I can't help to worry that he still feels the same as when he wanted a break. I feel as though we are living a lie because he doesn't want to out right say he doesn't want me or love me anymore. What do you guys think? Guys would you ever say you need a break from your marriage and no longer desire to kiss your wife? He was also at one point not coming home at night.
Updates:
He said the romance was gone between the two of us and sees me as a friend

  • "He was also at one point not coming home at night."

    1. What do you think was happening when he was not coming home?

    2. Have you asked him what he was doing when he was not coming home? If not, why not?

    3. What do you think all of this means for your marriage?

  • So why did he get married? I swear sometimes I wonder how y'all end up with these lame ass dudes. In marriages that adrenaline rush excitement will not always be there that's a FACT. It's up to you two to keep the fire between you burning. I would be heartbroken if my husband wouldn't kiss me or want to spend time with me. Anyways him not coming home makes me think he's up to shit, it's time you investigate a little more. If he's cheating then you need to leave, if he isn't then you communicate and you work it out. You both need to make effort. No one said marriage is easy buttercup.

Recommended Questions

He broke up with me and same day posting having fun? How would you react if your friend was buddying up with your ex? Is it rude to just end everything? Do you think mental illness is any excuse to cheat on someone? Do you have pictures with your ex on Facebook?

Have an opinion?

  • Something is wrong with that. I don't know why he would want a break, why he would stop kissing you, not coming home at night with this behavior makes me think he may have cheated on you. But all I can say is when a man says he wants a break, he needs to learn man up and stop being a bitch. Relationships are work, and taking a break means not putting in the work. He was not being the man he should be.

    • This happened a year ago why is he still with me?

    • A friend of mine stayed with his wife in a similar situation because he was afraid of being alone and because he didn't want to look like the bad guy asking for a divorce. He may be hoping you initiate a divorce or he may be happy having the stability of having you there crying over him while he is out having a good Ole time... Just speculation because I don't know him or you and the situation completely but he straight up told you he sees you as a friend... That's bad... Really bad... It's as bad as the I love you but not in love with you excuse or the its you not me... The only thing you have left to do is accept it.

  • RASAYS If You love something set it free. If It returns to you, its yours. If it doesn't, it never was. Also, many marriage counselors advise taking a break as in "absence makes the heart grow fonder". We love you. We are RA. We are GOLDEN. LOVE<3

  • Yep, I agree with @Dave1971. This is the first step to wanting out. Either identify why he has lost interest and try to change it, or seek professional help.

  • he wants a change of taste
    he wants to hookup with other women when on the above mentioned break.
    if he is asking for a break, you better just call it quits and put yourself out of the misery

  • I don't believe in "breaks", if anyone says this, I assume they mean they want to break up and just can't do/say it to your face.

    • Why is he still with me? It's been a year or so

      Reply

    • I'm guessing because you allow him too. Is he cheating? You have to find out that bit of information, because in his mind, he already told you he sees you as a friend. Those are his words. He just may figure she heard me and hasn't thrown me out so it must be alright? If you haven't sat down and asked him about this, you might not want to be hearing what he's going to tell you. Time doesn't heal this until its over. GOOD LUCK! 😊

  • I think you already know what it means. This is my biggest problem with monogamy. Most men only agree to be monogamous because they really do love the other person and don't want to lose them, but the fact of the matter is, sex with the same person becomes exceeding lackluster. You can still love someone and not want to express it physically. Try spicing it up (something new and exciting), and put some thought into it. Be aggressive; women are not used to this concept, because for the most part men are the aggressors. Don't take no for answer, and be physical. make a drastic change with your appearance; i. e., cut your hair and dye it a completely different color.

  • You need to up your BJ game ASAP. Suck him off EVERY day. Even if he doesn't kiss you, SUCK HIM OFF EVERY DAY.

  • Girls will say he's cheating...

    Yeah, but another way around is that he doesn't feel the spark anymore.
    Go get counseling.

  • I’m sorry. And this may hurt you and I’m so sorry for that... but it’s clear that there’s someone else getting the romance side of him. And it will be pretty surprising if it’s not.

  • I contacted blackbutcher after reading many positive posts and I must say I was a bit
    skeptical. I wanted to hack into my husbands phone and the hacker
    did it at a very affordable rate. I was really shocked when the
    hack was completed within the same time frame he gave me. He also
    went as far to help me by helping me clear my debt in my bank
    account and also putting a reasonable amount of money in it for me
    to spend. Black butcher is really an angel and I'm not letting go
    of him ever. I'm going to keep spreading the word about the best
    hacker because he likes helping people and he's really a good
    person. Contact him at blackbutcher. hacker @ outlook . com

  • I think if its at the point he feels he needed a break and the fact that he told you ur only seen as a friend and doesn't come home those are very bad signs that indicate he doesn't love you any more and the marriage has come to an end it seems to be too late im sorry, the nights he doesn't come home is also a red flag he might be cheating aswell you never know what a man is capable of when he falls out of love, i dont think therevis a way to get the spark back between you two if he doesn't even seem botherd about you at all, i think you should consider a divorce and to be open to meeting a man who truly loves you cause god knows you deserve better than this, unfortunately some marriages dont work out as planned and will be a big heartbreak for you but there is no need to keep wasting time when he treats you this way he isn't even trying to work on things so there is no use seems he has given up so now you need to aswell for yourself, you need to be happy not constantly wonder
