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)

If he\'s asking for gifts back, love... this isn\'t a \"break\" it\'s a \"breakup\" and he\'s not man enough to tell you the truth.
A break is just a break. It means that you don\'t see each other as much, but you\'re still friendly. Maybe you casually see some other people, and then get together to evaluate the time apart and decide if you\'re going move forward with the relationship or if you\'re better off apart.
A breakup is severing ties with a person and trying to recoup time and money put into the relationship that you just ended. Asking for gifts back means it\'s over... and he just doesn\'t want to go through the business of actually telling you.
And that sucks. And he\'s a real douche bucket for that. Since you\'re 17, I\'m assuming he\'s close to that age, too... and... well... teenage relationships just don\'t usually last. I know three people still with a high school sweetheart. It\'s crappy, but it\'s just how it goes.
Keep the necklace, give it back. Do whatever makes you feel better. You\'re not getting him back, though...
