Being 'on a break' in a relationship..

My cousin was 18 when I was 26.



Whenever I saw her I could not believe how annoying she was, so blinded by real stu*id stuff, getting upset over stu*id things, making a big deal out of nothing and generally driving everybody crazy

It really opened my eyes as to how much you grow up from 18 - 25.

Shes 20 now and still as annoying as hell.

If you've been arguing constantly for 2 weeks then I'd say you probably shouldn't be together anyway, what a horrible way to spend your time with someone!
 
Take some advice from someone about to enter his fourth decade. Bang everything that moves. EVERYTHING. When you get a bit older you will regret not having seen more eighteen year olds balanced in good places.

Exactly what I thought whilst reading this thread.... PMSL 2k on a uni gaming rig ? I was out every night gaming at uni and it sure didn't cost me 2 grand :D
 
While I agree that being on a break doesn't necessarily mean it's over I think that after only three months it probably is. If she needs space after such a short time, particularly if there have been a lot of arguments recently, then it's clearly either not working or it really isn't a good sign for emotional issues in the future. I would step right away and if she wants to come back in the future then see how you feel. But consider it a closed case for now.

So one of the following is probably true:

* She's got someone else - Do you really want her back then?
* It's genuinely not working out - So why flog a dead horse?
* She's emotionally immature - Step away and let her grow up.
* You're driving her nuts somehow - It's not going to work so why flog a dead horse?

Very good advice. I'm well into my fourth decade now and met my (now) wife back in 1992. So while it has been great I did miss out on a lot of fun in some respects. If it moves...

The man speaks truth. Also, throw a few older ladies into the mix. They know things. Good things. Like ice cubes and polos things. :o
 
Guess I'm in a minority then. I met my current gf when she was 18 and I was 24 and we've been together nearly 3 years. Hardly any arguing, and I find older women moan and bitch about things a hell of a lot more, or MAYBE it's just you guys find all the crazies.
 
Actually, thinking back to my earlier years I was 23 and going out with a 17 year old. In hindsight she was pretty immature and when I started seeing my next girlfried who was 4 years older than me, the difference was stark.

A few days back I stumbled across some photos of my wife taken when she was around 20 and OMG my jaw dropped.... I would tap that over and over :o

I need to build a time machine
 
sometimes you need to distance yourself from a relationship to value it. though i have to say more often than not taking a break ends up with a break up.
