Will this work? We both have been stressed
Relationship Stress / by Ashlee777

...See more I F18 have been dating M20 for 3 years. I am so so so in love with him and felt like he was in love with me too. We had a cute love story and so many memories together and we still act like we are in the honeymoon stage. But I had this issue that I am now working on fixing where I would bring up breaking up and pretend to break up with him after small arguments and fight for hours over tiny things and when he would try to ask me to wait until the morning or something so he can get some sleep I would get mad and say he’s letting me go to bed angry even if he had work or something important to do. He is a really good writer but if he chose writing over me I would feel abandoned and if he tried to talk to me about it I would just get upset because I felt as if he chose writing one day instead of hanging out with me it meant he didn’t love me as much as writing. And he said it made him start to view me differently and made him become exhausted because if he tried to talk about it with me I would get mad and threaten to break up with him and I asked if he was still in love with me and he told me that he just needed a break and we both just cried in each others arms for an hour and he said he just needs a break to be able to find himself and to be able to come back and be better for me and so I can have time to grow and become less dependent on him. He said he will text me to keep me updated but it’s for the best and it’s the only thing he knows how to do. He’s giving it until June 1st it’s march right now and said if either of us need more time for the break we can take more time. Can we work out if we are both willing to work as hard as possible?
