My boyfriend wants a break, should I move on?

[Anonymous]

So my boyfriend of 2 years recently said he needs time that someday we may work out and that he loves me and misses me but he just can't be a good boyfriend to me right now. He wants to get his career going since I already have established mine and says he needs at least a year. He says that I would be a wonderful mother and the type of girl he sees himself with, but now is not the time. Guys and girls, what is your opinion? What should I do from here? I love him and would wait if it was guaranteed, I'm just so scared I'll wake up one day and he moved on without me. He says he's not looking for anyone else and he doesn't have time for a relationship period.

There is no such thing as "a break." Ask Ross and Rachel.

If the relationship was important to him, he'd struggle through his (probably legitimate) issues with his career, doing his best to be with you, even if he couldn't give you the amount of attention you'd like. What he wants is to break up, but also to have you NOT date anyone else until he is ready to give you attention again, and that's not fair or right; he can't have it both ways.

If you have any respect for yourself, you will make him choose: work on the relationship or have a full break-up with NO promises of any kind. Nothing else is acceptable.

He wants you and he simply just want to sort himself out. He just doesn't want to take the time to sort himself out and then you say that he's neglecting you. He doesn't want to be too busy for you so he's taking a break until he has the time to devote his time to you again. Don't be scared by it, just talk to him and make sure that you are both on the same page and don't sever contact with him, keep by his side and just be understand when he's too busy to spend time with you. Let him know you are waiting for him and once he's done he'll come back to you as your boyfriend.

A break is just a nice way of saying I have already checked out from the relationship I just haven't found the balls to tell you as yet. Consider moving on

If a guy wants a break trust me he's not worth your time! You're more than that. Take your things and go find a decent man!

It seems that he wants to explore his options with other girls. You should really move on.

Keep your options opened and move on. There's no point sticking around when he wants to be out of a relationship now!
