MY BOYFRIEND Of 7 YEARS Wants To Take A 1-YEAR-LONG "BREAK" ThatOne Number

A story about how a woman discovered her long-term boyfriend’s request for a "one-year break" was really just a cover for cheating—and how she rebuilt her life after heartbreak.

The couple had been together for seven years, with what seemed to be a healthy and communicative relationship. But things changed when the boyfriend confessed he was unhappy with his life, job, and future—except for his relationship, which he admitted was the only good thing he had. Despite this, he proposed a one-year break to “find himself,” while insisting he didn’t want to lose her.

Initially heartbroken and confused, the woman eventually stood firm and told him she wouldn’t wait a year for someone who couldn’t commit to fixing things now. He agreed to think about it for a month. But as she began questioning her own feelings, her trust in him began to unravel.

Months later, she found out the truth: he had been cheating on her with a coworker as early as the previous November. This was confirmed through several mutual connections. Before she learned this, the breakup had already happened, and she’d helped him pack and move. Three weeks later, he begged to come back, claiming he'd made a mistake. Feeling sorry for him, she allowed him to stay temporarily, but the resentment lingered. After two months, she asked him to move out.

After that, she began to heal. She started going out more, had a few casual hookups, and gradually reclaimed her happiness. Eventually, she learned the full extent of the cheating—and that the woman he cheated with had become his girlfriend. Meanwhile, her ex kept calling her, crying about missing her and wanting her back, even while still with the new girlfriend.

She shut him down for good, threatening to tell his new girlfriend the truth if he kept reaching out. Now, she’s found herself in a new, promising relationship that started as a casual fling, and she’s finally feeling happy—truly happy—for the first time in a long while.
