Isto é o que realmente significa quando ele diz que quer "uma pausa"
Quantas vezes já ouviste um tipo dizer a frase final, “I want a break”? E quantas vezes já se perguntou o que é que isso significa?
Well, sometimes when people are not ready to break up with their partner, they tend to use this famous sentence: “I need a break.”
Quando um rapaz diz isto a uma rapariga, ela começa imediatamente a pensar demais e a preocupar-se com a verdadeira razão por detrás disso.
But, really, how are you supposed to know what is really going on in his mind when he says that he wants to have a break? (Even though we’re intuitive, I guess guys forget that women are not psychic as well).
Perhaps he wants to put you on hold while he’s chasing other girls, he’s waiting for the right time to break up with you, or there’s a third reason that has nothing to do with any of the aforementioned.
Sim, há uma lista interminável de razões possíveis para ele dizer uma coisa dessas e, por vezes, não tem nada a ver com o facto de acabar consigo.
Para o ajudar a decifrar o verdadeiro significado oculto por detrás disso, aqui está a lista definitiva de possíveis razões para um homem pedir uma pausa!
THIS IS WHAT IT REALLY MEANS WHEN HE SAYS HE WANTS “A BREAK”
He doesn’t have time for a relationship

When a guy says that he wants a break, sometimes it just means that he doesn’t really have time for a relationship at the moment.
Perhaps he’s always busy with his job, hobbies, or other things going in his life and that is why he can’t make you his priority.
If that is the reason why he wants to take a breather, the chances are that the situation will change within a few weeks or months when he’s organized himself, and found time to spend with you and make you his priority again.
He’s dealing with personal problems

Quando uma rapariga tem um problema, abre-se com os amigos ou pessoas próximas. Mas, quando um rapaz tem problemas pessoais, retira-se para a sua caverna de homem.
So, if he’s going through hard times at his job, family, or other aspects of his life, he will want to have a break with you until he fixes whatever is bothering him.
A família está a pressioná-lo para acabar com o namoro

Sometimes his family influences him to do things he’s not really comfortable doing. If they are forcing him to split up with you for some reason, he will be pressured to propose taking a break from you because evidently he doesn’t want to lose you yet.
That way he will prove to his family that he’s considering their proposal, but he’s not willing to end things without being one hundred percent sure about it.
His friends don’t really like you

How is your relationship with his friends? Do they approve of your relationship? If his friends don’t really like you, there are high chances that they will be the ones forcing him to ask for a break.
So, if you notice some red flag signs that his friends don’t really approve of you, this might be the reason behind him asking for a break in the first place.
He’s too nervous to officially break up with you

Yup, guys can be real cowards when it comes to breaking up. So, there is a possibility that he asked for a break because he’s just too nervous to officially break up with you.
That way he’s buying himself a little bit more time until he finally gathers courage to tell you what is really going on.

He’s afraid of commitment

Quando um homem tem medo do compromisso, fará qualquer coisa para se salvar de ficar preso numa relação.
He will tell you that he wants a break because he’s scared of anything to do with being committed and in a relationship.
Ele apaixonou-se por outra pessoa

Sometimes when a guy falls for someone else and he’s not ready to end things with you because he’s not sure of his feelings, he will tell you that he needs some time off.
In reality, he actually needs some time to think about the situation he’s in and weigh all the pros and cons of going separate ways or staying with you.
Ele só quer ser amigo

Quando um rapaz a vê mais como amiga do que como namorada, está determinado a abrandar as coisas e a ganhar algum tempo para pensar no assunto.
É que ele não vai querer acabar consigo porque ele quer-te como amigo and breaking up would mean severing every contact with you. That’s why asking for a break is a great alternative (for him).
He doesn’t know what he wants

He’s totally indecisive and he has no idea what he really wants from you. He just knows that he needs some time off to sort his thoughts and priorities, and that is why he’ll propose having a break.
Ele sente falta de ser solteiro

Por muito satisfatória que seja uma relação, por vezes os rapazes (e também as raparigas) aborrecem-se dela sem razão aparente. Começam a sentir falta dos seus dias de solteiros e de todos os benefícios que advêm do estatuto de solteiro.
If he’s (all of a sudden) exhibiting signs of estar aborrecido na relação, chances are he’s missing being single and asking for a break seems like the only right thing to do (at the moment).
