I have been with my Fiancee for a little more than 3 years now and everything was going pretty damn good. It appears though as if she's not sure what she wants to do with her life and she wants to take a break. I have never allowed myself to feel for someone as I do her, and this is the reason. Does anyone have a snickers?

:(

let her have her alone time for a few months or so. Just call her every once in a while so she knows you're still there.

In the meantime, have fun w/ the dating scene!
 

You're so young I'm surprised you actually believed your potential marriage would last.
Good luck.

enjoy the break, really.
for one thing don't call her/IM her/email her all the time, because absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but it sounds like she's already moved on to another guy.

Sorry dude, and I agree with Mosh, no contact unless she initiates it, and then be very afraid, unless you're into meaningless sex...

Wait till she tells you she's felt this way for a year or so & didn't bother to share with you...

i'm the wrong person to give advice here, but my take on "taking a break" is just a bunch of bs really. Its just black and white, either a break up or stay together.

oh yea, and hold onto the ring.

this man speaks the truth

while you're on break she's out sleeping with other guys...can you handle that?

I have the same feeling, and I made that clear to her. When I wrote this I was pretty upset but after taking a shower, my take on it is that there's no use living in tears about it because if she's unhappy with me, I am going to be unhappy. I believe I finally understand the phrase "I want you to be happy, even if it's not with me..."

SampSon, I know what you are saying and many people have often said the same thing to me.

Time to go do some studying for my exam tomorrow...

I'm really sorry to hear that man. It must be rough.

However, she's a cold blooded <insert appropriate expletive here>. To break things off with you after 3 years is one thing but to do it right before an exam of yours is wholly unnecessary. She could have had the courtesy to wait till you were done with exams to tell you.

Good luck on your exam dude.

nope "grows fonder" is correct.

the other kind of opposite one is, "out of sight, out of mind". ;)
