My boyfriend and I have been dating for 3 years and it was an amazing 3 years. We always know how to make each other laugh and each other happy. We love and care for each other very much. About a few days ago, he came to me and wanted to talk. He told me he was re-evaluating his life and wanted to take a break from the relationship so he could "find" himself. He said also he needed some change. I know this break is meant to help us be able to go out and enjoy life without worrying about the other but it really hurts and it's really hard on me. He said that the spark between us was there still but it just wasn't kindling like it should. What makes me more upset about this "break" is he wanted this beautiful necklace back that he gave me for Christmas last year. I'm not sure what to do and honestly this break hurts me more than it is helping. I don't want to seem desperate but I really miss my best friend and I wish he knew that. (link)

It\'s totally normal to feel this way. And you have every right to want to know what\'s going on. \"Breaks\" in relationships can be good or bad.
If you\'ve been dating for 3 years and you both feel like it\'s been great then i\'m sure it was for a good reason.
After this long period of time, sometimes it\'s best for both parties to take a step back and reevaluate the relationship and see if you both want to possibly take the next step. But if you\'re saying that he wants to be able to just go out and enjoy his life, then you might just want to ask him point blank what he really wants. Because with that statement, it seems like he wants to look into his other options.
Believe me, it\'s not you. Sometimes, this can happen in a relationship and one partner doesn\'t notice it. Maybe you two do need some alone time.
I really do understand where you\'re coming from. But maybe you need to just go out and not be worried about this situation. But just know that there is a difference in a \"break\" and a \"break-up\" surely he would have made this clear on which one he wanted to do.
Go out and have some fun and just relax. When he\'s ready, he\'ll call you and maybe by that time you\'ll want the same thing or you\'ll see that there\'s something else out there for you.
Good Luck.
