My boyfriend (M21) and I (M22) decided to do some healthy distancing. Is this a correct decision?
​
My boyfriend and I decided to do some healthy distancing because we have some issues with each other to work out. We were on the verge of breaking up but both of us are still not sure of that so I decided that this will be better instead
He has some issues about me not being able to reply immediately, which is I don't know how to. Ive never had a chatmate and I only reply to others when I'm in the mood, including him. He also said that I can't control my temper and loud voice and sometimes I'm hardheaded which is true. I'm trying to control that but sometimes I just can't. I also have issues with him sometimes not listening to me/paying attention to me when we're talking. He looks at his phone and chats with his friends. Although, it's not a very long time, but our conversations still get cut off a bit then we continue it. He also cant control his annoyance at me sometimes and vice versa too
We always work things out. We always talk and solve about our issues with each other. But sometimes patience can waver. He said he still loves me, just that my actions have been piling up over the months. I still absolutely love him though. We're both not sure about breaking up so we negotiated on this distancing for atleast 3 months so we can assess our thoughts about each other. Im absolutely afraid and have a heavy heart what the results may be at the end though. I dont want us to break up. How can this affect our relationship? Is this a correct decision? I dont know honestly. I feel so lonely without him
