And you, what would you do if they ask you for time?

If you think that a time is the best to reflect on the state of a relationship, think about it and make no mistake, it could end your relationship forever.

There comes a point in the cycle of a relationship where things don’t work out for the best and many times, instead of continuing with differences, we decide “give us some time”.

For many, this can be a great solution to the lack of tenderness and mutual commitment; for others, it is the warning signal that the end is near. When someone asks her partner for time, what she really means is that she wants to break up, but she doesn’t dare to tell you or in the worst case she wants to go out with other people… It hurts but it’s true.

That of asking for time does not work and is somewhat cowardly, it is best to speak up front and prevent the damage from going deeper from the beginning.

To do?

1. Do not accept times.
2. Ask for honesty to your partner and ask him if what he really wants is to finish.
3. If you deny that you want to break up and he just needs time, it’s up to you to decide if you’ll spend torturing yourself without being able to call him, without questioning where he is or who he’s dating.
4. If you accept, you must make it clear the time they will not have contact. It is recommended that it not exceed three months.
5. If after this time You no longer have any sign of your partner, it is most likely that he took the time as a definitive separation and did not have the courage to tell you face to face.

Courage, in case things do not go as you wish, remember that the most important thing is to be calm with yourself.
