Taking a Break on a Long distance Relationship:
Hello, I have been dating my guy for just about 2 1/2 years and just last week he said he needs space and wants to break up. We are a long distance relationship due to college, I go to school in NY and he goes to school in SC. Now he was very upset about having to go on a break and said that it will only make us strong and that he did not want anyone else, but he wants to take a few months to himself. What does this mean? The next time we'll both be home is thanksgiving, he told me to keep in contact with him but its so hard to continue talking to him because it makes me feel as if we are still together but I don't want to lose contact and loose him forever. He promised we would see each other over thanksgiving but that is two months from now. Any suggestions on how I should deal with this because I am a mess and I love him so much and I do not want to give up on our relationship because I know he's the one.
