What to do when she says she need a break? ›

What should I do if my girlfriend wants to take a break? The best thing you can do is to honor her request for a break. Set clear expectations around how long the break will last and if there will be any communication during this time.

Not always. In some cases, she just wants to get spend a little time away from you because she has a lot going on in her life, she feels like she can't give you the time and attention you deserve, or she just needs to be alone for a little while.

Anything from one week to a month should be enough time for one or both parties to determine whether they should stay together. “You may decide halfway through the agreed upon time that you want to be with that person, but you should respect the time frame,” Edwards says.

Many couples decide to take a break because they're facing some relationship challenges, difficulties, and/or doubts, but they don't want to break up or give up on the relationship just yet. In some cases, partners might care about each other deeply, but they just can't seem to stop fighting over every single thing.

If you two have agreed on a break, then it might be best to respect her wishes and give her space. However, if you think that it would be beneficial to your relationship to stay in communication, then it is perfectly acceptable to reach out to her.

Taking a break in a relationship can allow people to reflect and make decisions that serve them and their goals as individuals, and possibly as a couple. A couple's approach to their relationship break ultimately determines whether it will be beneficial or detrimental.

It's unlikely that an ex will forget about you, even if you don't communicate with them after the breakup. Relationships tend to make a large emotional impact on both people involved, so it's likely your ex will remember you and the relationship even after the breakup.

Needing space does not necessarily mean that it is the end of a relationship. It could signify that one or both partners feel overwhelmed or stressed or simply need a break from the relationship. Sometimes, couples need space to recharge and reset their relationship.

It can happen. Your internal radar may actually lead you the perfect partner. So, go with your instinct. Just like with every relationship, don't overanalyse.

Taking a break buys you time before a full breakup.

Maybe you're not ready to slam on the brakes, but slowing down and coasting for a little while feels better than a hard and fast breakup. "The bittersweet truth is that, sometimes, relationships dissolve after a break," says DeRosa.

How much time apart is too much? ›

According to relationship experts, one option is to divide the time you spend with your partner into 70/30. This means that, ideally, you should spend 70% of your time together and thirty percent of your time apart.

How long should space in a relationship last? Ultimately, this depends on what you and your partner decide is best for your relationship. “Space can be from a couple of hours to a couple of days or weeks,” says Ruiz, though he generally doesn't recommend his clients take longer than 3 to 4 weeks.

Any behavior that is different from what has been mutually agreed upon can be considered cheating when you are on a break. And, any actions that violate your partner's trust can also be considered cheating. Whether you're trying to move on or rebuild a relationship, a licensed therapist from BetterHelp can guide you.

Giving a lot of space works in some, but not most break up situations. For example: If a woman is still very much in love with her guy, she may go back to him if he ignores her for weeks because she doesn't want to risk losing him. Of course, she might also feel rejected and decide to move on without him.

She'll probably need some time to herself while she's hurting. It's normal for her to ask for some space, so try to avoid feeling rejected at this point. Respect her request for space. In the meantime, try to spend time with your friends and family so you won't feel so sad.

If your relationship is relatively new, she might ask you to wait a shorter amount of time, even just a few days. If your relationship has been going strong for a while, she might ask you to wait a month before contacting her again. If you're unsure how long you should wait, ask her what she thinks is best.
