One of the most common reasons a man uses when he wants to let a woman down easy and put some distance between them is to say he needs a break. Of course, this not the real reason he wants to break off the relationship and instead of letting you down easy it is pretty cruel. I need a break can leave a woman with all kinds of doubts and self incriminations. You wonder where you failed him and if he has found someone else. All kind of crazy things go through your mind until your emotions reach a peak and you go crying and begging for an explanation. This in turn just makes matters worse.
When he says he needs a break, this can encompass a whole number of things. Maybe you have been pushing a little too hard for a commitment and he is beginning to feel smothered. Or you might have tried too hard to please him and this has caused him to take you for granted and you have lost your appeal to him. Whatever the real reason, in order to get your ex back you will need to stun him and show him your independence. By letting him go with the hope that giving him the break he says he needs and not arguing with him, he will come back and everything will be fine, is wishful thinking. It won't happen. He won't be back.
In order to stop him dead in his tracks, agree with him. Tell him he is right, you both need a break. You can add that you have been thinking of telling him the same thing but you didn't want to hurt him. Thank him for taking the burden off you and wish him luck. This turns things completely around and makes him feel he is being dumped. He might try to explain himself now and insist that he really didn't want to breakup, just have a little time to think. Don't give in, he wanted a break so insist that he takes a break. He won't need the break for very long. You will be hearing from him very soon and he will treat you with a lot more respect and attention than before.
By showing him your independence and self confidence you can get your ex back without hardly lifting a finger.
