I think you should sit down and write him a long letter letting him know how you feel about him and give it to him BEFORE he makes a decision. By the way, be sure you talk to him at the end of the week so you don't drift apart due to lack of communication. Good luck to you! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
TakeItFromMeBaby answered Friday June 17 2005, 9:53 am: think of a "break" as fracturing a bone, you're not completely seperated. where as "breaking up" is like breaking a bone completely, you are seperated from the other person. just wait til the week is over...and find out where you stand as a couple. if it's over, then you just need to try really hard to get over him...you can't make the boy like you. but just tell him it was a joke and that you really like him and that you are really hurting. if he doesnt care...he's not worth it!
needadvice answered Friday June 17 2005, 9:12 am: a break s bacially like seeing other people or taking a break from your relationship like not dating for a while if it's really hurting you you might want to tell him that you don't think it's working out between you guys because if you can't trust me to trust you [ needadvice's advice column | Ask needadvice A Question ]
Michele answered Friday June 17 2005, 9:11 am: If you said that you were joking around when you said that you didn't trust him, and he won't let it go, then he is the one who wants the break, and I suspect it is for another reason than what he is telling you. He is just conveniently putting the blame on you. He wants to break it off with you, there is not much you can do about it, but at least he should be a man about it and admit that his feelings for you have changed. I know it hurts, but it may be time to move on.
Of course, it is possible that he means what he says, and after a week, you two will talk and things will go back to being the way they used to be. You'll have to wait and see, and if you really missed him, then tell him. But if he says he still wants things to cool between the two of you, then I would suspect that that was his plan all along. Read between the lines.

YOur boyfriend just wants time to think things through and vent. just give him some space,and he'll come to you when hes ready,and if you think it not going to work,but theres still hope,ask if you can have an open relationship.
hyperhottiegirl answered Friday June 17 2005, 8:28 am: well a break is just a period of time where you guys dont really see each other and take a BREAK of each other. there is not a lot you can do about the pain just try to forget about it and remember you didnt break up your just not seeing each other for only a week dont worry it will pass soon. ~JORDAN E~ [ hyperhottiegirl's advice column | Ask hyperhottiegirl A Question ]

To stop the pain is getting the truth out of him.. if he'll give it to you. But yeah if you actually want to save the relationship then just listen to what *he's* got to say.
