What Does it Mean When Your Girlfriend Wants a Break


There are times when you think everything is going on perfectly in your relationship. Then one day, suddenly, your girlfriend tells you she wants a break. That can be a sudden shock, I agree. However, instead of being surprised and all worked up, calm down mentally and ask her what's wrong. Maybe you would hear something that would really hold some gravity. Maybe there was something you missed for a very long time. All your girlfriend needs now is some understanding. Be patient and talk it out with her and see how it works. This phase is very common in most relationships but how you survive through it is more important. Given below are some reasons that will help you understand what it means when your girlfriend wants a break from a relationship that was so close to both of you.

What It Means When Your Girlfriend Wants a Break...

It Means:

She's Had Enough...
In a relationship, there are two people with two different mindsets that think differently. Due to this, we need to adjust our thoughts and actions from time to time to accommodate each other. If this isn't happening and if you are too adamant about certain habits or opinions, she might have given up on changing things. She might have tried to show you how it's bothering her but if you have overlooked her views all the time, she has decided to stay away, alone with her opinions that must have caused all the arguments.

She's Bored...
If you've been in a relationship for a very long time, she might be bored now. Of course, she in no way intends to break up or end this relationship, she just wants some time for herself. Maybe all her friends enjoy and party all the time and she has always spent that time with you. This a phase everyone goes through. They just want something different in life and here I don't mean a different person. Change is very important in every relationship. Trying new things and bringing in excitement is what you guys should concentrate on, once you'll get back.

She's Caught You...
Has she caught you cheating on her? This is something only you can tell. Maybe there was a time that you lied about and things just got worse from there. You might wonder how she hasn't yet confronted you, but that's how some women are. They will think it's their fault and you fell for someone else because they lack something in them. She might also want this break because she isn't entirely sure whether what she's thinking is right or wrong.

You're Crossing the Line...
Girls don't like guys who cling to them all the time, it smothers them. Yes, every girl likes being the center of her guy's attention, but all the time? That might just get a little irritating. Maybe you just aren't giving her enough space and trust me, that is one of the most essential things in a relationship. Another important mention here is that of insecurity. If you are insecure and this turns into a lot of questioning, she may think it's time to take a break from all these questions and doubts.

She's Going Through Tough Times...
There are times in everyone's life where small things might seem to add tremendous pressure to already existing problems. At such times, your girlfriend might decide to take a break until she solves the issues that are troubling her. Yes, there are people who might feel that a relationship actually supports you through such times but then every girl is different and how they handle pressures is also entirely different. At such times, it's very important that you understand her.

I hope all these points have told you what it means when your girlfriend wants a break. In any case, you don't have to panic. Panic will lead to overreactions and that in turn will complicate issues even further. Take this time and rethink what must have gone wrong and most importantly, how you can make it better. Best of Luck!
