Q: Is it possible for a couple to get back together after taking a "break?"
My girlfriend of 4 years decided that she needs a break. I took a job about 10 months ago in Hawaii, she lives in CA. We decided to try the LDR until she could move to HI. In the mean time we were able to see each other every month. When she tried to quit her job to move out to HI, her employer offered her a great promotion and raise, so after much more discussion we decided that she should stay on the mainland and I would come back to the mainland when my project was done. I'm 2 months away from finishing my project and she tells me she can't handle the distance anymore and has feelings she can't quell for one of her co-workers. So, we've decided to take a break. Does it ever really work for couples to take breaks in their relationship? I want nothing more than for things to work out for us, but it feels like she's basically told me that she thinks she's found something / someone better and wants to see if it really is, and if it's not any better then she might come back to me.
In times like this, about the only thing you can do is Love the Madness.
A: You’re exactly right. She has a crush on a co-worker and she wants to go out with him. He may be great and you’re a distant memory or he may not be great and then you’re in the picture again. Problem is, can you deal with this? She’s basically saying you’re good but not the best and there may be better out there. Is that ok for you? You probably want your gf to think you’re the best and she’s so lucky to have you. Is that unrealistic?
Give her a couple weeks to get this coworker out of her system but then I’d call it quits and not wait around for her. If it works out someday, great but don’t wait. You deserve someone who thinks you’re the cat’s pajamas. Sorry for saying that but the situation seemed right.
