I think the real reason I'm so frustrated is that he told me he'd call when he wanted to hang out again. I feel like that gives him all the power and choice in the relationship. It's starting to make me grumpy and I'm worried that the 'break' will cause even more fights. Hopefully it will work like texas*princess said and we will chill out but I feel like the parameters of the break put me in an odd place.

breathesgelatin,
i'm so sorry the break is making you not happy so far
I would definately feel the same as you do now when you said you felt frustrated because he told you he'd call when he wanted to hang out again. I would also feel like he was the only one who had some kind of 'say' in the relationship, and you should definately not feel that way. Maybe you should talk to him about the 'parameters of the break' so that it is very clear to the both of you what exactly this means.
To some people 'a break' is synonimous (sp?) with 'breaking up' but in my case, it is was not nessecarily a 'break up', just "a little more independence" like AZpinkkittie described, and a break from all the crazy stuff going on between us and
not a lighter way of saying we wanted to see other people.
I really hope everything works out for you
If you want to talk, feel free to PM me
