for 2 weeks...is this "break" simply a pre curser to break up? Been a week today and I am not handling it very well...could use some advice. She started a new job/career several months ago and it is very demanding with a lot of travel...and our together time has dropped to nearly nothing...then last Saturday she asked for the "break", said we had been getting on each others nerves lately and maybe this would help. Said she still loves me, and has contacted be a couple of times this week, but sense the beginning of the end...relationships need work, not abandonment...I am using an aternative form of no contact, in that I'm waiting for her to contact me...is this the right approach? If we were indeed breaking up, I know what to do, but in this case...I don't know.

Appearances can be deceiving, so proceed with caution. Personally, I never allow myself to celebrate anything until it's finally set in stone. For example, provisional acceptance to a college or job is not a full-fledged acceptance, things can easily change. I really hope everything works out for you, but remember to take things slowly.

I know, talaniman, I was doing so well. And you are very suspicious of this. Well, I am to a degree also...I ecstatic right now, but am taking a wait and see position and am not going to push it...this time apart has worked wonders for her and I am not going to crowd her or actually anyone ever again. Lesson learned.

This is a chance however to put some of those "life" lessons that keep rolling in, to use.

And I know I'm taking a huge chance right now.

I know. Very slowly and no things are not always what they appear...not afraid to admit I'm a little afraid of this.
