Guy Doesn't Know What To Do After Planning His Life Around His GF Of 6 Years And Now She Wants To Break Up With Him

We're back again today with yet another Reddit post and this time this post is from the relationship advice thread. The relationship advice thread is the best place to go if you need unbiased advice and opinions on you situation.

Sometimes it's just best not to ask anyone around you and instead ask people who are not associated with you and have nothing to do with you so you can get a real opinion on your situation. With this being said, we are looking at a post that was submitted by a man who is worried because his girlfriend of 6 years wants to go on a break.

He describes what she said to him and her reasoning for going on a break with him, but he's not sure how to handle it because of all the changes that he was going to make to be with her. He now has to rethink all of his career choices and other changes in order to make it work.

Many people had a lot to say in the comments section so if you're interested in reading the whole post and seeing all of the original comments on the post as well then keep on reading as we dive in and give you all of the details you need to give your advice.

OP's post gives us some details on their relationship and then tells us a bit about how long they were dating and how things are going now.

People quickly came to the comments to tell OP to let her go and just allow her to move on because clearly holding on isn't going to help.

Many people also told him that this isn't a break but rather a break up and his girlfriend just doesn't really want to break up fully.

This is the way to think about it because he needs to think about himself and where he would want to be if it wasn't with his girlfriend.

He does need to prioritize himself because obviously she's prioritizing herself here and now it's time for him to focus on himself.

Some people told him not to be friends with her and to just go ahead and go no contact if they break up because it's just not worth it.

I'd definitely be staying by my friends because otherwise there's no reason to move over where his girlfriend is staying at right now.

We agree that he definitely should just break up and a break isn't a realistic option here for them.

Well, this was an interesting story. So many people told OP that this is not a break but rather a breakup, and she's got valid reasons, but also she's leading him on.

He should prioritize himself, and hopefully, he will take the advice of the comments that were left on his post.
