How long of a break does he need? How will things be after the break? These lawsuits between partners or between companies can last years. Is that really a reason for him to put his life on hold? Is he going to put his life on hold each time the going gets tough? Those are all important questions.
I think you should decide how long you're willing to put into this. Maybe you've invested enough already? Please tell me he did not decide to take a break without telling you how long he needed?

Taking a break usually means breaking up. Sorry it had to happen on Valentine's Day. I personally don't put any stock in holidays, but I know other people do.
If I were you, I'd jump right back into the dating pool. No need to wait around for him. Live your life~!

Here is the exact message:
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I wanted to think everything through. _I really care for you dearly and you're an amazing person. _With that being said I treasure what we have and I treasure you. _Unfortunately career wise things are rough with the lawsuit and on top of that work is demanding. _I have an unpredictable schedule and am going to be traveling for a month next week. _I really want us to be ok and with that being said I think the best thing for us to do is to take a break so I can settle my life...that way once things are settled I think we'd have a much better relationship if you were still interested in me. _I'm scared if we try to continue things we'll just run into the same problems; like new years, the past trip I went on, etc and will ruin any chance we have at actually being together. _I don't want to see anyone else, I really like you a lot. _I just think its best if I organize myself first. _I hope you understand :-/
What do you think? =(

Sweetie, this is a break up letter, not a 'taking a break' letter.
He saying he still wants for you 2 to be together but in a better way and for now it's impossible so it's better to end it. Later, down the road, when his life is back on track, if you're still single, then maybe you can make it work.
He is not asking you to wait, please don't.

Haven't been on in awhile but I just wanted to update everyone who has given me such wonderful advice...
About a month after we decided to take a break, my man came home and told me he was in love with me and thought about me all the time despite no contact. He decided to compromise despite his busy life. Ever since then he at least texts me everyday and has been soooo much better about communication. We see each other a couple times a week at least and he has been hinting at moving in together. He also is up for an incredible job across the country and should he get it, he asked me to move with him. Ahhh! =D
Our communication has improved drastically. The sex is out of this world... I mean hot tamales!!! Haha. I think he was shy before because he's only had a couple partners and is 5 and a half years older than me and because he had been so wrapped up in his career he hadn't been with someone in a long time. I think I brought out the wild side woo! Lol. He talks about getting married and growing old together. He is always saying "when we buy this house at such and such city," calling me mrs. but then saying, "you're not my wife yet but someday," "when we have kids," "trying to do this for us," and stuff like that. We're planning a trip to South America later this year.
I know he's the one and I've never felt so sure about anything in my life. He's supposed to meet my family this month. He's so excited to meet them and vice versa! They have never liked any of my previous boyfriends. My friends think he's going to propose as soon the timing is right. He hints at it too.
Now that we're more serious, he is there for even the little things. If I'm upset, you bet there's flowers haha. He surprises me with things just to make me feel special and shows me he loves me all the time. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
Anyway... I'm so glad I didn't give up hope and I'm soooo thankful I have you awesome friends on here for support when things are tough. Hope everyone is having an amazing week!!! <3
