Amhlaidh Niniana month agoI (19F) am considering taking a break from my boyfriend (19M), and I could really use some advice. We've been together for almost three years, but lately, things have been challenging, and I feel like I'm not getting the treatment I deserve. Although I love him deeply and he’s my best friend, I believe that both of us need this time apart. I need space to think and reflect on what I truly want, and I think he could benefit from experiencing life without me for a while. We’re in a long-distance relationship while attending college, and I’m planning to take this break for at least a month, or until our next school break. I’m unsure about how much communication we should have during this time. I really don’t want to go completely no contact, but I can see why that might be necessary. Additionally, I want to address the topic of seeing other people during this break. I don’t envision myself dating anyone else right away, but I want to establish clear boundaries regarding that. Overall, I’m feeling quite confused about how to navigate this situation and would appreciate any guidance.139
