Please explain to me what I should do about "giving it a break."

I can't stand to not talk to her.

If she has asked for a break then you have to do what you can't stand to do.

Break contact with her.

Disappear!

She asked for a break so respect her wishes and give it to her. No begging or pleading is going to bring her back. Trust me on that one.

If you want her back you need to completely back off and give her space. In this time you need to work on yourself and worked out why you pushed her away. You should work on yourself and improve yourself and really think long and hard if you want her back.

She is willing to let you go easy so I would question whether she is truly worth it.

But I implore you to have no contact with her. Everyone here will tell you this. Even though you think it isn't a good idea. It is and you must do it!

Good luck and sorry if I have assumed wrong but you have given no information at all to really go on so I simply advised what I would anyone who has been told by their partner they need a break!

Oh yeah,

But I don't view having no contact with her as a tactic to get her back. She has dropped a bombshell on you by asking for this so whether you think it or not right now you havce some thinking to do, And in order to think clearly you have to have no contact with her.

This time is about you now. Not her.

Make yourself happy and work on you!

It's hard to answer your question without a few more particulars. Are you "on a break" with someone right now? If so, why? Who initiated it? If it was her, then as much as you can't stand it, the best thing for you to do is to not talk with her at all. When someone says they "want a break", you give them exactly what they ask for, hook, line and sinker. Let her miss you and wonder what you're up to. Keep yourself plenty busy so that you don't have the time to think or worry about her. You may find that you don't even want to go back. But wait for her to come crawling back to you. Then you can take her back on your own terms.
