Taking a break-- does it help? or make things worse?

All that writing to say it is over--a real easy way to say you are done with each other--instead of just walking away. 4 years of one person says you didn't experience different kinds of men to see what is out there and the personalities you may find attractive. Steady dating at a young age seems glamourous and cool--but it is counter productive and destined to fail evenually. You fight and bicker now?? Well unless you learn how to effectively communicate and resolve conflicts, you will never have a blissful relationship--it is so obvious now. Well say goodbye and start to date others for fun andstart to see what kind of man you really like. College is a priority--finish school--without boy pressure---get settled and then find a serious relationship. First things first. Good luck to you.
