Dear Luli:

You are welcome, and I understand now, the three years means that the third year of the relationship began. Glad he is no longer yelling at you!

“How to take a break during a relationship where you feel super exhausted and frustrated from being neglected and ignored by your partner? How to overcome the constant crying feeling?”-

Well, if the relationship has not worked for your benefit so far, better fix it or end it.

You wrote that you’ve been “compromising and exert so much effort” in this relationship. Fixing the relationship, if that is possible, following the break that you are taking, would mean that you no longer compromise too much and you no longer exert too much effort. Maybe you can compromise some, and see that he compromises some as well, and exert some effort wisely, not too much effort that is unwise.

If you want to, you are welcome to specify what it is that you compromised and what efforts you have exerted in this relationship; what he compromised and what efforts he exerted in this relationship, and I will reply to you further.
