I TOLD MY BOYFRIEND I WANT A BREAK...TO DATE OTHER PEOPLE- WHILE H E TALKS OF LONG TERM EXCLUSIVITY-HELP! OUCH?

You guys seem to have different ideas. You either need to sit down and really talk things out, seriously, or move on. Date other people. Break contact with each other for awhile. If you guys miss each other unbearably, then you're probably right for each other. If you guys move on, fall in love with others, then you two should just remain friends. Hope everything works out!
