****EDIT 2nd Feb

Thank you to those who commented....we spoke today and long story short he said he needed to figure out some things in his life, things that he wanted to improve himself on and he’s not 100% what he wants. He couldn’t give me a clear explanation as to what it was, I asked him whether it was anything to do with me that I needed to work on and he kept saying no. One of the examples he gave was his career (we’re both 28).

Basically, he wants a “break”. A break to me is confusing especially he doesn’t know what he wants to work on exactly.

I don’t feel like it’s going to work out how I want it to and I don’t know how much time I can give him either....has anyone else been on a “break” before?

How does everyone deal with their partners and their mood swings? I’ve been noticing that my bf has been a bit hot and cold last few weeks, a normal conversation gets him annoyed and when I tried to have a conversation with him he’s not engaged so I retreat.

I tried to ask him a couple of nights ago if he was ok and if there was something on his mind he wanted to talk about, he said he was tired and wanted to go to bed. We were busy painting my new place today that I am moving into soon so didn’t get a chance to speak properly but the vibe was weird. I tried calling him again tonight and he was with his mates, then texted him making it clear I wanted to talk to him. We made plans for tomorrow so Ill see him face to face to ask him.

Has anything similar happened to anyone else before?
