My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half, and it has been long distance for a couple months at a time (he's in the circus). So now, I'm away at college, and he's at circus school in Canada. We've been struggling a little bit for that past 2 months with communication. He was just home for a couple of days, but now he wants to take a break to "find himself", and so he doesn't hurt me anymore for not being able to be physically with me or giving me the attention he thinks I deserve. He says that it would kill him to hurt me like that. But I really don't want to take a break. I love him, and he says he loves me so much that that's why he doesn't want to hurt me. But do you think taking a break is a good idea? Or should we stay together because we love eachother?
