M

y boyfriend has suggested we take a break. He says that he wants to be with me, but t make sure we’re right for each other, should see other people. Should I con Grace, Glasgow

YES

Pick Me Up! reader Ellie from Dorset says: In reality, you like him and he’s questioning whether he wants to be with you.

So there really is no point insisting he stay.

I’d suggest you do what he says and when he comes crawling back, realising what a fool he’s been, he’ll really have to win your heart!

And you’ll know for sure that he’s the right person for you.

NO

Pick Me Up! reader Kelly from Birmingham says: I’d be so offended if my boyfriend said to me that he wants to sleep with other people to ‘check’ that I’m the right one.

I think this is a lucky escape for you. He certainly is not the man you want to spend the rest of your life with.

And if you’re considering seeing others, you don’t feel the way about him that you think you do.

Your boyfriend doesn’t want a break! He wants out but doesn’t have the guts to tell you. What he probably wants is to sleep with other people whilst keeping you on ice in case he doesn’t find anyone better out there. You both deserve to be in situations that make you really happy so I would give him his break – a permanent one – and focus on finding someone who wants to be with you and only you. Release your boyfriend to the life he wants.
