writes:My boyfriend and I have been together for over 4 months. Our relationship is strong and we never fight. We're definitely in love with each other. But just today, he asked to go on a break. He said he wants time to spend with his friends and not always be with me. He is always with me, I admit that, but I have NEVER stopped him from being with his friends. I just don't think that just that would be worth going on a break for. I don't even know what a break is. He said that it will help our relationship but from the way I'm feeling now, I don't see our relationship getting any stronger. What do I do?

 He wants a time out and to balance his life. Too much time together may cause resentment and absence makes the heart grows fonder.
It may strengthened your relationship because he would be able to give you more quality time.
It is a good thing to have some freedom to do one's own thing.Too much of one thing can be suffocating .

 No.. do not go on a "break". He will see this as time for himself to possibly see other people. If he wants to hang out with his friends more, he will, while still being in a relationship with you.
Things often get messy when one asks for a break.

 Tell him. "Look, we never fight and we light eachother. Let's reach a mid ground here. I have never told you you can't see your friends. If you want to hang out with your friends. If I don't stop you from hanging out with your friends, why would you want to break up?What is the real problem?"
