Dear Mayra:
Taking a break is a better choice than remaining in the relationship and distress escalating. Therapy for you is also an excellent idea. In therapy let the therapist know your priority first thing, to save and resurrect this relationship. I hope your boyfriend is patient and understanding.
A short term couple therapy may be a good idea as well, even if the issue is yours, good couple therapy can help him understand and help the two of you communicate better, and help each other.
I will be back to the computer in about sixteen hours. Take good care of yourself and I hope your relationship endures this current difficulty. Post again anytime.
