My Boyfriend has left me!

Dear Natalie

My boyfriend has told me he wants a break. He said for me not to read into it the wrong way and that he’s not seeing anyone else. But he never calls me anymore and I miss him!

Please tell me what should I do?

Dear Anonymous,

It’s a difficult situation to be in and I’m sorry, but you must give him the time that he asks for. This way if he actually needs the break to assess his relationship with you he will do so without any extra pressure from you.

The important thing is that you also take this break to assess YOUR feelings towards him. Take advantage of this time and ask yourself these questions; Are you happy in this relationship? What do you want from a relationship? Then it won’t be a wasted break.

Don’t let him think he can take as long as he likes to assess the relationship though.
Let him know you will not be waiting around for him in the meantime and if he has not come back to you in 2 weeks, you might want to make it very clear to him that you are the one now wanting that break-permanently!

Be strong!
