Is this a break or a break-up Suggest Advice Do you have some advice for this person? Visitor's Question: I've been in a relationship with this guy for about five years, where we kept breaking up and never took the relationship to a more committed level. About a month ago we decided (after fighting again) that we won't talk for one year and in one year we'll see if we still want to be in touch. The thing I am unclear about - should I just think of this as a break or should I look at other opportunities? What if I get into some kind of casual relationship and then my ex comes back ready for more commitement? Our Suggestion: This is something important your ex and you should have discussed before taking the year long break. And, by the way, a year long break is nothing I have ever heard of before. Most people would consider this to be a breakup. Go out with other people. No reason to wait a year... if he hasn't contacted you by then it's clear he isn't interested. Good luck!
