How do you know if its time for you and your significant other to brake up or just take a break?

Ready for the longest story ever?ok so me and my boyfriend have been together for 5months and everything was going wonderful those 5 months seemed like 1month. Ive known his friends ever since we started going out and he recently met mine i was so happy they got along. But recently hes been ditching me for them or is late when we hang out because he was partying with them the night before and woke up late Our 5 month was on the 10 and we hung out the 13 he was furious when we hung out because i told him so and so might come(they ended up not coming)and he was so mad i ended up leavin because he was here to see me not them and he was givin me the silent treatment so i just left, ofcourse we made up and we hung out the monday after valentines day and once again he was late we made up BUT now instead of being late he just ended up calling me and telling me hes not going to hang out with me he did that this past thursday and saturday ever since the first time he go mad at me we've been fighting 24/7 and i just cant take him anymore but i still really like him!! i dont know what to do i mean i know its my so called friends fault too but idk is it time to brake up or just take a break?How do you know if its time for you and your significant other to brake up or just take a break?
i think its time to break up. thats just wrong. i mean, i wouldnt want my friends stealing my boyfriend away! and thats exactly what theyr doing. if he really truly cared about you then he would put you first. and if its constant battles with him and your sick of it then you dont have to take it anymore. and he shouldnt have gotten upset. you were just trying to share your feelings and he thought you were overreacting. but you werent. and i know its hard to let go of someone you liked alot and even loved but if hes gonna treat you like that then you need to end it. just focus on other guys you like to get over him. hope i helped and good luck. :)How do you know if its time for you and your significant other to brake up or just take a break?
