Did you ever think your relationship was going to end?

Question

Recently, I told my significant other something about my past (which I had lied to him earlier about and then decided to tell him the truth finally). It was about my previous relationship. 
My SO isn’t angry about the relationship as such, but rather that I lied to him about it. I’ve explained why I did so - and he understands, but he says he can’t get the image of me and the other guy out of his head. It’s affecting our relationship significantly. We’ve dealt with this for 2 months but he says he still can’t get it out of his mind. Recently He’s asked us to go on a “break” for a few days so he can clear up his mind. 
This has scared me because I’ve always believed that going a break eventually leads to a breakup. I am so not prepared for this and I love him very very dearly. 
I’ve agreed to go on the break. The rules are seemingly simple: just don’t message him for a 3-4 days (we don’t live together). But it’s really difficult and I’m not sure how this is going to pan out. 
The COVID-19 lockdown isn’t helping us either as I can’t go visit him just yet. (I don’t live in USA/UK). 
Just any words of advice and kindness will really help me and my anxieties 😢

Answer

I did for awhile actually, after a situation similar to yours. He wanted a break and I fought it, I shouldn’t have. There was awhile i was certain we’d break up, I was just trying to prolong the inevitable. But July 6th marks our 4 year anniversary. It’s been rough but we were eventually able to work through things and were in a much better place

Answer

A little odd how he'd not want any communication for 3-4 days. That's a bit much and if he has to think about it that long then maybe you guys are better off without each other especially if it's effected the relationship this much

Answer

I knew it in my gut every time a relationship has ended. Your gut is almost always right unless you have a legitimate anxiety disorder and tend to overthink everything in your life. I would hope for the best and prepare for the worst. And whatever you do, give him that space he asked for and try to stay busy. He’ll come to you when he’s ready and if he doesn’t, it’s a sign from God (if you believe in that) that he isn’t supposed to be there.

Answer

He’s probably just thinking. Hence why he doesn’t want to be bothered. Try to just give him his space for a couple days then talk it out. That’s all you guys can do! Hopefully you can move past it. I’m not sure what was so “awful” he can’t get an image from your prev relationship out of his head, but imo unless it somehow can affect you now, like being illegal & having to go to jail if found out, or like an STI/HIV where it’s incurable & you didn’t say (just examples)... he can’t really be upset about it because it doesn’t involve him. If you could move past it & be the person you are now, why can’t he?
