I was seeing someone for the last 9 months or so and 2 weeks a go she said she wanted to see other people and can't commit and needs time & space. As difficult as it is, I try to leave her alone, but I did talk to her yesterday and she said we needed to take a break from each other.

Do you think a break is a good thing??

Yes it is, but she wants to explore, and be free to do so. I advise you do the same, and accept being broken up, and free to explore yourself. The worst thing you could do is expect her back anytime soon.

I don't think so. It normally just means she's "break"ing up with you. Sorry.

Breakups are usually just that. You are no longer committed. Im guessing that you both are at a young age. If this is the case, you both still have many things to explore and she may not want to be in a committed relationship that keeps her from experiencing new things in life.

Best thing you can do is what Talaniman said. Explore yourself. Do the same thing she is doing... living.

Yes and no.Breaks 99% means I'm bored with you or I'm not ready to commit,I want to explore my options a little better... But it doesn't always mean its for good my parents took a break for a year and then got back together and now there marriage is the best its been in 10 years.Point is though even if there's the slightest chance of getting back together don't expect it and don't live on the hope that she will one day turn up at your doorstep and say I want you back,will you forgive me?because chances are she's moving on if she hasn't already and you should take the hint and do the same thing.

No waiting isn't the answer after all my parents were the 1% of people who were lucky but they were married for 7 years before that it wasn't just a small time fling.There were also a lot of other things to consider for them finances,children etc.point is that you shouldn't wait because chances are if you wait you will just be forgotton but they won't.Your the one who will lose not them.

Good or bad it is what she wants so I would respect her decision and look forward.
