ice cream crown,

My boyfriend of 5 years said to me on Sunday that he wants a break from the relationship, he wants to be alone in this period of time, he doesn't wanna live my life and he wants to be happy with himself and his work.he also wants me to think abuot what i want and be happy with myself and do whatever i want to do, plan for myself and stuff. i dont know if it's just an excuse that he wants to do whatever, like going out with somebody else...

We still talk on a daily basis and stuff, but it's like im always guessing if he would answer my calls, if he doesn't, i'd think if he's doing something with someone etc etc, if his tone of voice is a bit strange, it effects my mood too,this is too painful for me, i cant eat and sleep properly, my chest is always stiff, i cant even breath~

Lots of advice from "the relationship talk" webiste says: give him the space that he wants, show him that im calm and mature, here's the best advice that I've discovered:

try to understand the best, give him what he needs, it may be for the better where if he comes back your relationship will be that much stronger, but if he doesn't, it will suck but you will find someone else better who can be what you need. But the key thing here is that not to overthink about the what ifs, if he comes back or if he doesnt, but take time to focus about being happy with yourself again learn how to be happy and focus on the things without relying on having someone there right now. You will grow as a person. It seems that he still care but you need to take it slow one day at a time, one hour at a time.

I really do hope that things will work out and we can be happily ever after~I really do.
