It's indeed true that breaks in any dating relationship can be very healthy for it not only gives you time to realize yourself, determine if you truly love each other and above all it makes you give God all your attention. This has worked for me and my girlfriend.

I can't agree more with you on this. It is very painful but I think necessary. I am indeed going thru one such long break.
To those like me, please be strong and develop your Spiritual muscles because we need them for the Life Time marriage commitment.
Bless you!

Wow. This is amazing. I was looking for SOMEONE who is going through this...
My (ex)boyfriend and I really love each other and function well but we got too attached and involved in each others lives which caused me to panic because I felt I was losing my goals since I let my life basically evolve around him. Plus we have outside factors which influence our relationship and long story short, we broke up.
I immediately took the time to rebuild my relationship with God and OH MY GOD, how I only just now see my mistakes.
I honestly don't know if I truly want to be with him or not. I do right now, but it's a fresh break so I could be just being vulnerable.
But whether we will resume our relationship or remain friends, this break up did us good and will put us too the test in a couple weeks or more. I can focus on making my decision without him influencing me and I am not influencing him.
And I think it's better to stop communication for at least a couple weeks. The first week we broke up we occasionally (once a day or every two days) checked in on each other to see how we were doing. After that we completely stopped talking (mutual agreement). After a bit we'll start again as friends or whatever.
Hope everyone going through this is staying strong and true to themselves. Don't kid yourself. Be honest and get in touch with God to figure out what is His plan for you.

What does taking a break entail? Can you still call each other or is it not advised?
