Girlfriend wants to take a break for 6 months.

To me you sound realistic about it.

Willing to follow her out there, and live in separate spaces. See what happens.

And if it still ends up at a break up? You can either stay there or move back, etc. You are paid well enough to deal with the finances of those choices.

You sound like you are being level headed about it, so good for you!

I would love this, not sure she'll ever want to move in together again but if that does happen I now know exactly how to approach her need of space at least


Yeah, it helps though to hear outsider views, lets me rethink things through again in my head and see if there's something there i'm missing.



Yeah I really feel like it's my best choice. I love her enough to make that leap and change even if I don't know the future outcome, just to give it a chance. Also I know at least with my own depression, I receded from everyone for a long period of time...but sometimes I really wanted someone there to talk to. I told her I would be there if ever needed, but I wasn't going to just wait at the phone/door for her call.

What part of upstate NY btw if you don't mind my asking? I'm originally from there too, up in the Adirondacks.

She's from the Fingerlakes area, but her family has a share in a camp in the Adirondacks! I'm originally from Long Island and my dad is from Kingston.

Oh awesome! I looked at Kingston to move to before moving down near the DC area for work.

Was just up in NY a few weeks ago, so nice and cool compared to the humid swamp in the DC area haha
