I want to go back so bad, but I’m the one who wanted the break because I feel I need therapy to help my emotional regulation/yelling when we fight
and to get a drivers license (can’t practice on his car because it’s old and he doesn’t think it’s safe, he hates having to drive everywhere like a chauffeur because he’s always been the one to drive friends around.)

My boyfriend and I live together with two cats. He stayed in the apartment and I went to stay with my parents until I get my license and start therapy for a
bit. But now, after just two days away I’m crying all day, been waking up 5 times a night, and feel like my heart is breaking. It feel like the emotions of a break up but we’re only in a break??

I texted him just a second ago saying “I don’t think I can do this break, and that “I’m just anxious that how you feel about me will change while I’m gone.” I
hate that I did this because as my dad said, I need to give him space to miss me, and I need to stop
thinking about him constantly, and live in the now. Why does it feel impossible?

I keep seeing everyone (online) say that breaks are just prolonged breakups and now I feel sick and worried that I’ll never hug and kiss and see the warmth in my boyfriend’s eyes again .

TDLR I (23f) contacted my boyfriend (26m) during our break because I feel like an emotional wreck.

  1. This kind of reaction indicates to me that you have far larger problems. Why is it so hard to be alone? That problem is the one you need to be working on. You will never be happy until you are ok with you.

    Peace to you.
