My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 8months now and things were really just amazing. I worked with him for a little over a year at my past job (we both have different ones now.) so I've known him awhile. But quite recently he'd been acting weird and asked for some space. I agreed and stayed more at my house. We pretty much lived together, and we have a dog together too. But unfortunately I guess I didn't give him enough and I got a text asking if I would be mad if he wanted to take a break. And I've never done anything like this before. Last time I took a 'Break' we broke up (Previously relationship) and I'm definitely not a clingy girl. Have a guys night, drink some beer, play some video games and watch football. But with his new job he really can't, and now he wants to switch his career.. And I will say, we went to fast we started dating after him and his ex of two years had broken up. And I was very reluctant to let him in. But he broke down my walls and I agreed. We bicker sometimes but in the end we love each other. But we got into it very bad today. I'm usually the calm and controlled one and I lost it when I went over to talk to him this morning. I noticed he'd been inboxing two girls on Facebook, both have boyfriends and one he had almost dated in the past. I trust him, but there was just something bugging me so I looked and I feel so guilty. I confronted him about it and he assures me he just wanted to talk to them as friends. He's going to his parents house for a couple of days. To get his schooling and career figured out. I know his out of this world stressed. With the possible career change and living in a bedroom with my and the dog. But if he had a problem I wish he would have said it earlier. I really want this to work for us. And I know he does too.. But I just still don't know what to do.

Give it some time. He has a lot on his mind, with career. I'm sure you have other things on your mind, too. Eight months together is not really a long time, and you both need "space" to work on whatever you need. Good luck, and hope you have a great new year.
If this love is really "real", it will last.
