text: what are you views/opinions about coupls taking a break? it wasn't my descion but my boyfriends. he needs to try and figure something out, like why and all. it's the first time he suggested taking a break with someone and in my view, it's a way of showing that at least he wants to work something out in some shape of form. he wants to understand why every year, since 3 or 4 years, mostly during winter, he's all happy and the next day just like blank. it's not that he lost interest really, it's more complicating than that. any opinions? i'm not trying to be mean, but are you sure the take a break thing isn't just a reason for him to persue some flings with other people.  if i had some sort of psychological problem, or  any problem for that matter i'd rather have someone close to help me through it.  as a couple you need to sh*t or get off the pot.
