So I never thought I’d want to take a break in a relationship. I was always in the mindset of “if it doesn’t work then work through it or break up” but now I’m not sure.

The only thing I truly want to take a break on is texting. Since I have bad anxiety I have a tendency to text important people back right away (because if not I will leave them on delivered forever). So I will always text my boyfriend back right away. And I get that he can’t text me back all the time but lately it hurts when he hardly texts me all day.

We’ve tried talking about this before. It always ends up with me saying I don’t think he tries enough and him being sad/upset because he thinks he tries a lot and then I’ll drop it and continue to feel unappreciated. So I’m thinking we can just try not texting for awhile.

We could still Snapchat once to say I love you and see each other’s face, or talk on the phone since I’m currently quarantined. But I’m thinking we don’t need to text. This would not necessarily be a “break” but more of a non texting thing.

I’ve honestly tried talking and working it out and I haven’t seen a difference and it hurts. And then makes me feel like a baby since I’m upset over texting. But do y’all think it would be fine/a good idea?? Thanks in advance
