Ok, out of nowhere, my boyfriend starts telling me he thinks that he might want to take a break. He says that this has been buggin him for a couple of months, and that he feels like he wants to know what other girls are out there, as in what they are like and how it would be like to hang out with them. He says that since we met in high school, we're 19 and 20 now, that he hadn't really had many girlfriends before me, none of them more than a couple of months. We've both never been in a serious relationship before this one, we've been together for almost 2 1/2 years. He says that he always wished that he had become friends with more girls during highschool, and that he sees girls and wonders what kind of person they are, and what it would be to hang out with them. He says that he feels like I'm the only girl our age that he really knows, and that he wonders how other girls are like. I had always told him that if he didn't give me a reason to worry, then I had no problem with him being friends with girls, as long as they knew he was taken. I've never acted jealous towards any girls that he has met now in college, but he still felt that I was just saying that I wasn't jealous to make him happy. He felt that if he told me that he wasn't going to hang out with me, and hang out with a girl that I would get angry/jealous. Does this sound like a normal response to him not really having any female friends besides me? His plan is to, when our semester starts in about 2 1/2 weeks, that he's going to try becoming friends with other girls, and be on a strictly friendship basis. He hopes that this will sort things out. Do you guys think this is what he needs? He says that he wants this to fix things, and I sincerely believe him. Anyone have any thoughts on whether this sounds like a solution that will actually work? Any guys out there, does this make sense to you all? I need help!
