I actually appreciate you validating Lexi and acknowledging her grief in her absence. I hear the shame and guilt but SEE you’re self aware. Which likely makes things feel worse. Fully aware of every drop of pain and little to no strength to fix thing. Praying for you both. 😪❤️
This is a very mature decision, and to the people saying ‘this has to be a prank’ or ‘love doesn’t exist’ it very much does exist and there Is proof of that in this video, you have to understand that love isn’t just being in a straight forward relationship, it’s about being there for the people you love and the people who need you, treating them with respect and kindness, loving them for who they are, that is what love is, Austin and Lexi are normal human beings with their own ups and downs and have every right in the world to take a break and help themselves. Social media, while there are so many ups, the amount of downs there are is immaculate, it can be very unhealthy, a relationship can only grow when the two people feel happy and secure. We love you guys so much Austin and Lexi you guys are amazing and I hope you guys can feel better soon, take all the time you need, we aren’t going anywhere❤❤❤❤
I… I was about to say love isn’t real… but my heart has been so many times and I’m only 17 😢 plus my parents have been separated pretty much my entire life so I kinda have a reason to say love does exist 😅
@@Hyper_Kid5 okay "katsuki_bakugo" with colored heart emojis around name... the sentence is completely comprehensible, maybe you're the one who has a reading problem. "I am [leaving], I [have] my own drama, [so I] can't deal with theirs too"
to everyones whos saying "please let this be a prank" even if it werent we have to trust that austin and lexi are making the best decision for themselves, regardless of how much we appreciate their relationship. If they need a break, they need a break, and maybe it'll improve their relationship in the future. With that said, its okay to admire their relationship, but dont let your happiness depend on austin and lexi's relationship. They deserve to be happy too. Edit: Its okay to be sad because of the breakup yall, thats not what I'm saying. I'm saying that don't take such a big hit that it affects your happiness on a more permanent basis. Thank you all for the likes!! I really appreciate it.
they aren't making their happiness depend on their relationship but obviously if they like and support their ship it would effect their mood its a natural reaction
I'm 35 and I still haven't learned how to openly communicate to avoid the problems. I find it super tricky to ask for what I need & sometimes to even understand what I need. Good on you for being so vulnerable - these aren't problems that are unique or new & every relationship has similar struggles. Good on you guys for prioritising real life & putting the work in & be kind to yourselves whatever the outcome. Much love
This was an exceptionally mature decision that I was unable to see as an option until I was in my 30's. You guys are going to be just fine. This level of respect and maturity between a couple is preposterously rare.
As a man that suffers from severe depression and who's wife also picked up the slack for a long time, I have nothing to offer other than I understand what you're going through. My wife and I have almost broken up several times and I don't know what the solution is. Just stay strong and do whatever you have to do to keep each other in your lives.
The solution is therapy. A good therapist. My husband and I did it and it's the best decision we've ever made. We always promised to never give up on one another. If you have the commitment, you can do it.
Seconding the therapy recommendation. A good therapist will guide you toward new perspectives and new ideas you just can't get in the echo chamber of your own mind. Look for one who specializes in your most pressing issues, and don't give up if the first one is a dud or you just don't connect. When you find the right one, you'll know pretty fast. Personal therapy + couple's therapy is best, if you can swing it financially. It's worth the investment.
For the people that are saying “love doesn’t exist” and “let this be a prank” we have to understand that they are just doing what’s best for them and if they need a break, they need a break. Their needs matter more than social media. Austin and Lexi we love you ❤️
People who say love doesn't exist are usually the people that search for love and get nowhere because you have to wait for others to cross paths with you.
Yeah. Narcissists and clout/monetization chasers will ALWAYS do what is best for themselves and themselves alone. So, no one should even bother with people like this. I agree 666%
@earthdyrad and that is based on what science? Oh, it is just based on your idiotic and mindless embrace of romcom movie clichés? No wonder you associate with this sort of content creator - shallow, simple people are often attracted to these utterly useless and mediocre (at best) narcissists.
My husband and I also took a break in our relationship when we were dating (I was 23, he was 25 at the time). We ended up working through our problems and finding happiness with each other, and we decided to get married! These days, our communication is better than it's ever been. Breaks can be healthy, I'm glad you guys are prioritizing yourselves ❤
I am 100% behind your decision. Being a mental health counselor in training and having gone through depression myself, it's important to take care of yourself. An analogy I love to use is "you cannot take care of others until you take care of yourself." Think of the pre-flight demonstration and the oxygen masks. They always tell you to put it on yourself before helping the person next to you. You will come back a stronger, more loving person if you put the work into it. My uncle and his wife took a break from each other, too, because they were not 100% sure they were moving in the right direction. They got back together soon after and were married in 2001 (still married to this day; their anniversary in June will mark 22 years together!). I am keeping you both in my prayers. :)
Dude, we don’t deserve anything. Neither of you owe anyone anything. Live your life, handle your shit, and do whatever it takes to be happy. Your videos have been a pleasure to watch, but at the end of the day, we are all just humans trying to do the best we can. Good luck to you both ❤.
We are all here for you, don’t listen to the people saying OMG LOVE ISN’T REAL and all that stuff, take as long as you need to get back on your feet and more comfortable posting. Don’t worry about us, we’re not going anywhere. From your whole RUclips community, we love you guys! ❤❤❤
This was the MOST mature and respectful video talk I’ve ever seen/heard. This is a wise and thoughtful decision for you both. Stay safe, healthy, and we’ll be here, so don’t worry.🫂😊👍🏾
7:52 Austin, I just wanna say that you and lexi have nothing to apologize for to us, and ultimately, you and lexis' health, emotional and physical, are far more important to us than content. Because you both are human beings just like the rest of us. Do whatever you need to do, we'll be here. In regards to your father, this is only a suggestion, but don't hesitate to set boundaries with your father. I learned that after getting out of an abusive narcissist friendship that nearly killed me by unaliving myself, that boundaries are healthy and needed in some cases. And if you set boundaries and your father refuses to respect them, then he's not willing to respect you. That's what i learned with my narc. Those boundaries mean something to you, and if they can't respect them, then they can't respect you or your wishes. If you feel your father and your relationship with your father is taking too much of a toll, don't hesitate to put yourself first over the relationship with your father. Set boundaries to keep yourself emotionally safe. I don't know every detail of the story, so what I say might help or might come across as bad advice. Set boundaries for your dad if you feel something is getting toxic. And to listen to yourself and step away. As a last resort (I cannot emphasize that enough) if you cannot repair your relationship with your father and it continues to pull you further and further down, as a last resort you might need to cut ties to save yourself. It'll be a painful thing for both parties, but some things might not be able to be saved. But as I mentioned, it's a last resort thing. As someone who has dealt with a lot of trauma over my entire life, talking with your supports, therapy, doing things you love, and doing things for YOU can help. Don't be afraid to cry. Keeping it all in kills. Or almost does in my case. Do things that you love, whether it be gaming, exercise, meditation, or something else. Take care of yourself first. You can't rebuild anything if you yourself are cracking or collapsing. It might sound selfish, but it's not. Take each day one step at a time. You and Lexi will survive so long as you take care of yourself. You can do this, man. I know it might not mean as much as it would coming from someone you know, but know that I believe in you. We all do. You can win this. And one thing to mention: Use hotlines if you need to talk to someone as well. They're a great resource and have helped me so much. You don't need to be willing to unalive yourself to use them. And remember: You can do this. I know you can. ❤
This is so beautiful. I'm so happy to see how dedicated people are to this channel and how much people care about Austin and Lexi's health. It really gives me hope that we can all get through this together even if it means seeing less of them; as long as they get better, then I'm happy.
I fully agree with this and I wish them the best and hope they can handle this. But... I just gotta say... Dictator of cheese is the best name I have ever read lmao.
@Banana God Lol, thanks. I'm 26, and I made the name when i was 14. I made it mainly so people can have a laugh. If people are having a bad day or are sad, and they come across this name, and it makes a single person laugh, then I'm happy with that. That's the main reason I made the name. 🙂 BTW I, too, am a fan of bananas. , h great and wonderful banana God. (Bows down to you)
At first I thought this was a prank but after I watched this video I’m sorry that you guys are going through this but we will all be here for you guys,I’m sure that your mental and emotional health will be better over time and be sure to take care of yourselves.I hope you guys will get back together when things are all settled.if you guys are ever going through something be sure to tell us we will all definitely understand you guys.stay strong and have a good break.
@@jasminecorallista8616i screenshot red them there were so many of them 1. “you care about your dad so much that you thought he had problems and you felt so bad about that you got depressed. Really?! You are depressed” 2. “much appreciate you publicly attac king me thanks! i’ve only tried to help you as you blow fire in my face. read the story of the PRODIGAL SON” 3. “Lexi will just block my comments. so please, no more about me” 😂 4. he out this one in caps😂 “PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BLAMING ME OR WVEN MENTIONING MY NAME ON SOCIAL MEDIA. STOP ACTING LIKE A VICTIM. PULL UP YOUR BOOT STRAPS” 😂😂
Doesn't seem to me like he's really playing a victim or blaming his dad. He doesn't bash on his dad or blame him at all, just explains how his emotions have been affected by the relationship with his dad and how his own emotions have affected his relationships.
He doesn't attack his dad, he doesn't name him, he doesn't accuse him of anything. Just states that their relationship is not where he wants it to be and how this has affected his emotions, in a very responsible way, and those emotions and feelings are valid. Father seems to be religious and not a very big supporter of mental health just by judging his own comments. The dad seems defensive and feels attacked for simply being mentioned. The Prodigal Son is a story in the bible where the son leaves home with his inheritance and squanders it by gambling, drinking, sleeping with prostitutes, and so forth, and when he returns home to instead work for his father, the father weeps at his son's feet in joy for his son's return. From the father's own comment it seems that the dad clearly doesn't approve of Austin's lifestyle of making a career on social media and thinks his son is squandering his life and his money when Lexi is actually creating a very successful career for herself and Austin, and Austin is left to be put under this constant pressure of trying to prove himself. The father childishly blames Austin of "playing a victim" when Austin shows he's doing anything but that and is acknowledging his own struggles and shortcomings, and the father tells him to "pull up your boot straps" which is a very un-empathetic response to any struggle. He seems to think that Austin should get over himself or just get better from his depression, and doesn't acknowledge any of Austin's feelings or struggles, or even any of his accomplishments either. Austin's father realistically want's Austin to come back as a way for his son to admit that he (the father) was right all along and acts as though Austin's return would be welcomed joyfully and with celebration, when it is more likely that the father would just continue to be hard to please and unrelenting in his judgement of the decisions and choices Austin makes for himself.
We'll be here for you guys if you break up. We'll be here for you if you stay together. We'll be here for you if you break up and then get back together. We'll be here for you in the highs and lows. And we are here for you now ❤
Sending you guys lots of love. Something someone told me a couple days ago was that the most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. If we can cant like, love or take care of ourselves, we cant truly extend the same to others - at least not without some fallout. Prioritizing yourselves is so important and I really hope you both get the help and support you need from people able to help and support you. The world is so big, scary and overwhelming. I’m just 22 and its hard reconciling the fact that we’re so young - our brains arent even fully formed - but that this is the oldest we have been and the responsibilities we have are serious ones. We don’t have the true foresight to feel like these dark depressing phases of our lives will pass as well. I am wishing you both the very best
Austin and Lexi I want you guys to know that whatever happens just know that you have 2.01 million people that are willing to listen to you and help in whatever way and give you the privacy that you deserve we love you ❤️
You misspelled "worthless civilian couch potato morons" as "people." Especially when "people" insinuates you have any meaningful contribution to society.
This comment section is sad. Do not put your belief in love, on two people. They are allowed to take a break or even break up. Their emotions matter more than their fan base. Austin & Lexi, if you’re reading this I hope that you make the best choices for you’re needs. You guys matter and you’re emotions matter. I’m rooting for both of your happinesses. ❤
exactly. it’s so clear in the video that this is serious. people in the live chat are like “just say you are joking” where austin is literally talking about falling into a deep depression. it’s sick
We're here for you guys. Your relationship comes first, and I think we can all see you truly love each other. Take as much time as you guys need, I know I and many others will be here.
Austin, Lexi, I do believe that your mental health is first. Wether people like it or not. You’re both very strong kind people and you deserve the world. Wether you go on break or not, we all still love you. -Kai
I don't comment often at all on social media, but I felt compelled to speak up on this video. I've never met either of you, but Austin, I'm proud of you. As a man who has struggled with an extremely difficult relationship with my father, I understand exactly where you're coming from. I've spent 20 years in that cycle of depression, fighting desperately against those demons. And I've only just recently began realizing how pervasive that darkness can run. Those same feelings have led to the demise of my romantic relationships as well. You being able to be open and self-reflective and honest with yourself is honestly inspiring to me. I admire the strength and courage that it took for you to make this video. I sincerely hope the best for both you and Lexi, and I sincerely hope you never give up fighting, for yourself or for her. I may be a decade older than you Sir, but your courage has brought me to tears today. It's also renewed hope in myself. Don't give up, don't ever stop fighting. You're not alone.
Fucking respect, yo. Y'all's happiness needs to be the 1st priority. If you aren't happy, then you won't flourish. We may be bummed, but I can't even imagine what you 2 are going through. I hope you and Lexi find some peace in yourselves and, who knows, you guys might come back from this. But don't make that the expectation or your priority. Do better for you, not the other. You guys got this ❤
Seek counseling for you and Lexi. Don't just walk away. Focus on making peace with your mom's passing. Know that losing a parent will always hurt. Have you ever had a serious talk with your dad? You aren't alone it's reality that couples go through things.
I'm so sorry that this is happening. Honestly, at first, I thought this was a prank, but throughout the video I started realizing that this was no joke. I love watching you guys and I really can't believe what is happening behind the scenes. I just wanted to let you guys know that it is completely 10000% okay if you both just need to take a break, get everything running smoothly, and just do what is best for the both of you. I'm really sorry about you and your father, Austin, but God reassures everything will be okay again. Thank you so much for all your effort in your videos. We all appreciate you and Lexi for being completely honest to us and it's been aa great time on this channel. God bless you❤❤
The best, (and worst,) thing about the internet is that it never goes away. Your fans will be here when you guys figure it out. Of course you do what you need to do and as much as we all enjoy the content you guys have made, all of us will be happier knowing the smiles on the camera are real. So we'll see you when you get back.💖
I had no idea you guys were younger than me, that feels crazy. The amount you guys have achieved in such a short amount of time is staggering and you both deserve to prioritize your own happiness. Take your time. You don’t owe us anything
I also lost my mom to cancer 5 years ago, so I cant even imagine how difficult all of this is for you both. Much love to both of you and cant wait for both of you to heal however you need. All good things do not come easy and we all know you're perfect together. Dont worry about us, just focus on yourselves and mental wellbeing and get better. We will be here when you return.
@Edward Sorry, but that’s bullshit. No one is responsible for someone else unless it’s their child. YOU have to take care of your own mental health, and no one else. If you love someone, you won’t make it their responsibility to deal with your own health. That’s for you to figure out, not someone else. I’m not saying you can’t help someone, but it’s their responsibility to. As the great RuPaul says, “If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen?”
You guys are 23 and 24?! Hey you have your life made more then me. I’m 25, still living at home, alone, still going for my associates in biology then go to my bachelors in zoology. So from my perspective I’m impressed you guys did as much as you did at that age. I wish I could do what you do and if you two truly do come out stronger then ever you’ll be a inspiration hope the best for you two ❤
I just want you to know that what you’re doing is impressive! Everyone has their own path and you are killing it at the path your going on! Remember to prioritize yourself in self care. 😊
I know this sounds like I'm an old lady but I am extremely proud you both for being able to recognize that something is right and that you guys can step back and take a little while to fix it. This has to be so hard and we are all here for you. We all love and support you, do what you need to do, what's best for you, and just take as much time as you need. Edit: Tysm for the 380 likes!!
You don’t sound like a old lady being kind doesn’t mean being a old lady I’m kind and I’m very yo.und I love telling people I’m so proud of you for making that decision mostly like that not a lot of people expect taht from a 12 year old but it just so happens my mom is amazing
Austin describing how happy and then worse he got is a very sad reality of depression. Depression absolutely sucks and it can ruin your life and the lives of those that you love and care about. Austin shouldn't feel guilty for not being able to help in that time of his life. But it's also good that he's reflecting on that time and knowing what went wrong. I really hope you guys are okay and take care of yourselves ❤ Taking time apart is a very sensible and mature thing to do. You clearly love each other so much and need to be apart to get better on your own.
I hope you guys are both doing okay. This takes major kahunas and I'm so proud of you for posting it, and as a female it makes me so happy to see someone who my own husband can relate to so much to, and it helps me understand him more. You're a doll baby and so sweet.
Taking a break is extremely important.. Looking inwards is always the number one thing. You guys have taught the world what love really is. Even if you don't see it, we see it. We see you guys love and each other, and yes, we see a whole bunch of other things too. I've already noticed that there was something going on and not with the videos but with your guys's eyes. I see the love in your eyes to the point that it breaks my heart just listening to this video. But at the same time, I am so glad that you are doing another teachable moment and showing everybody what it is like to be like. You are showing what's called a butterfly effect. And just to let you know me and my husband and I had to split up for a while. It was for reasons, and narcissistic people are awful, and in this case, I don't see any of that in you and who use surround yourself with. They've all been loving people who have accepted everything that is going on. We came back and opened up, and we realized that being together was the better decision. We are 23 years into this relationship. I have had friends that have the same look, the same love. They ended up in divorce, all because they didn't want to breathe, without the other. You're still the simp king, bit you're the simp king that was one we needed to see. That taught the world, laughter, live, love, and the one we all dont like; heartache. Thank you. Austin. In my book, that's what a simp is. Someone who is like you and my husband. Loving, loyal, love to joke and laugh.
I love how much he acknowledged the work Lexi has done, I know it's the bare minimum and I'm so happy to see it, I wish we could have more men like this on the internet without being bullied for being a simp
It’s great that Austin is acknowledging how much effort and energy and work Lexi has put in to everything from THEIR career to THEIR relationship and to taking care of him, and it’s great he’s also acknowledging that he wasn’t upholding his end of things, that’s a great start. Hopefully he actually changes that moving forward, because that’s way too much pressure and effort and energy for one person to constantly carry by themselves :/ relationships ARE a two way street, and having this RUclips career on top of that also coming down on one person more than the other is not healthy for that person. It’s easy to say you’d do anything for someone, proving that is harder, and I hope that he does.
As someone who has severe chronic depression and very recently was forced to breakup with my boyfriend, I completely understand where you guys are coming from and how hard this is for you guys. Take your time to figure out what you need to figure out, heal where you need to heal, be in your own space for however long you need to, and do what you need to do. Take your time while doing this. Don't rush back in because you feel pressured or feel you *need* to put something out. Be you, and don't worry about what someone on the other side of the device thinks about your decision. You know that you made the best decision for your situation and you worry about that. We're here for you, every step of the way. 😊😊❤❤🤗🤗
I dated my partner from the age of 17-22. We love each other and loved each other back then but we were dealing with a lot of issues within our personal lives and we fell into the trap of not taking care of ourselves to try to take care of each other. We decided to break up even though we loved each other so that we would focus more on improving ourselves and figuring out what we want. We stayed friends as we enjoy each other's company and have a lot of mutual friends. At 26 we decided to get back together and it has been better than it ever was before. We went and became more of the people we wanted to be and now we're more stable than ever in ourselves and in our relationship. I don't think we met at the wrong time, we needed each other back then. But taking a break was what we needed to grow more since we were just kids when we fell in love at first. I really hope Austin and Lexi have a very similar story.
I am SO proud of you guys. You can't make a couple unless you have two whole individuals. I wish I'd have known this and acted on it when I was your age. Also Austin, I really hope you are able to rebuild with your dad. Tense relationships with parents are never easy and are so heartbreaking. Best to all of you. You've got this ❤
The fact that the whole “right person at the wrong time” can happen, sucks so much. Bc you had the most healthy relationship iv ever seen (on camera at least). And it sucks to see that you guys need a break from each other. But we respect your decision, as it was the best option for trying to save your relationship. We love you guys sm and we will support you no matter what 💗
you guys dont need to apologize, your health and mental health always come before social media. do what you need to do! we will support you through it all, take all the time you need and don't feel pressured to post videos all the time. Hope you both are doing okay and get better soon!
I agree, Social Media can be very hateful and life can be VERY unfair sometimes. 🥲😭 But it can also be very fun! I hope Austin and Lexi can relax and relieve themselves from all of this soon or someday. ❤️🩹
You two have been my absolute saviors for the past few years, and as weird as this feels to say, I'm kinda glad that you guys have problems. This has shown me that even the most seemingly perfect couples who are absolute soulmates have issues, and it's helped me realize not everything has to be perfect. Obviously, I'm also kind of sad that you two are having to take a break, however, I also think that it's the right decision if there really are problems within the relationship. All of yall's fans will be here to support you and give you guys love anytime you need it, because you two have been so inspiring and funny and just all-around great to watch, it's the least we could do. Much love, and I hope things turn around for the better for you two ♥
We all need to put our mental health first but when you’re in a relationship, you want to make the other person happy as much as you can. But when you need a break from each other, it won’t make the relationship broken, but it’ll help the relationship become stronger. If you and Lexi need a break, we respect your decision so much and we are here for the both of you Austin! ❤
Wow 😰 so much respect for you as a couple and for you opening up. Please don’t apologize, you really don’t need to. You’re an example couple for a lot of people and everybody should respect your break from each other and social media. I wish you and Lexi the best 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My mum and dad are going through this sort of stuff rn and if they heard this there realize that other people go through it and that its normal to have struggles in relationships. You guys don't need to worry about us we'll always be here at least I know I will. Love you both❤❤ Take your break from RUclips, TickTock, Instagram and all of the other social media platforms that you guys are on. Dont worry about us and take your time fixing things with you and Lexi we'll be here to support you both
I love that Austin’s so open about all this. I didn’t expect him to say as much as he did. I will be praying for the best for both parts ❤️ I hope for the best!
I really hope things get better in your lives, and don’t worry. Us viewers can wait. And anyways, it’s your channel! We have no control over it. Just know, that everyone of us is here to support you guys in any way. I speak on behalf of me and me entire family that watches you guys, and I just want to say that, we love you guys! And we wish that things get better, and we wish the best for both of you! And as you and Lexi say, “That’s a wrap” ❤
I had no idea you guys were the same age as me…. 23!? You’ve both accomplished so much together and it’s insane how we were literally in high school during the same time. I think it’s natural to take a break, I can’t imagine having to burden all of this on my own at my current state. This is also such a mature way to handle it, and it made me tear up hearing you both love one another so much. I can tell you both still care so deeply about one another, and that’s why you’re taking a break. I hope you both can heal and come back together stronger than ever
I was literally crying since this channel is one of my favorite couple channels, but I was so relieved when Austin said their not breaking up. Love ya’ll, get the rest you deserve
Ya’ll don’t worry about what we think! Worry about your personal life first and do what is best for y’all! And I know that 99.9% of y’all’s followers will support y’all throughout the way. Love y’all!❤️
@@TheRoyalsWasTaken can you actually pay attention to the video instead of looking at words and seeing where people are from. This couple is slowly breaking up. You may feel bad but can you not? It’s really ruining what’s going on. (I also say y’all a lot but that doesn’t change anything.)
It hurts seeing how Austin's dad isn't really there for him. I feel really bad for you! I want you to be happy! Me and my dad are VERRY VERRY close and to see someone who has a dad that isn't there for their child is heartbreaking!
Just remember, so much people are here willing to give you support.we have all loved this journey and we all respect your choice, I hope you feel better and your problems get better soon about your father and all of that stuff.
Oh wow, this made me sad, but I'm also happy that you are taking the time you both need to get yourselves back on track and heal. You take all the time you guys need and we'll be here to support you!
Thank you for your complete honesty- I know how hard it is to discuss your struggles. Just know that your fans will support you through all seasons of life. We don’t want you to feel pressure about making content; we simply appreciate all that you do post. Please take care of yourselves during this time and remember that we’re here for you 🤍
Aye I’ve watched every single one of ur videos and loved them all, you guys are so perfect for eachother and I’m so confident that when I clicked on this video and read the title I said out loud “no they aren’t, no way” just bc of how great you guys are, stay strong
The fact that I was watching all their couple videos yesterday and now this happens. I'm happy that you guys are being very mature and taking a break as I know this would be very hard. Please take as long as you guys need, we will always love and be here for you. Love you guys
As someone single who thought you guys had true love that I’ve longed for, this hit me so hard. I’ve loved your channel so much and I guess this is where we part ways 😔 thank you guys for the laughs you gave me and I wish you both love and luck on your separate paths
@@ImaRat145 breaks are sus usually they create even more problems unfortunately from my experience but I’m praying for them and wishing them the best. If it’s meant to be they’ll find their way back to each other
Please take a break from social media. We are thankful to always be able to watch your content. You guys are amazing!! You are just as human as we are. I can't wait until you guys give us an update, even if it takes a year. Please focus you both together and apart. You both deserve everything. Best wishes and lots of healing!!
We were here for you when you started, we are here for you now and we will be there for you when you both return. We love you so much and truly hope things will work out. We love you guys! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't think I have ever commented on your videos...I don't usually watch full length youtube videos anymore but this one stood out to me. You guys are wonderful and I am glad that you are both taking the steps needed for your mental health and well-being. I know this was hard for you to film and I so appreciate you sharing. Take all the time you need.
Not sure if you're already in therapy or not, but it's extremely helpful for sorting out your feelings, your past, your relationships, who you are and who you want to be. It's gotten me through the most difficult times in my life, and it's helped me value myself more and recognize how I deserve to be treated. I don't know you personally, but it sounds like a good therapist could help you work through this. You're a bit younger than me (I'm 33) and I wish I'd started therapy MUCH earlier than 4-ish years ago. There's a relationship I really, really wish I could have saved, and I feel like I might have if I'd sorted myself out at the time. Make sure you don't let the opportunity slip away, if you want to make it work. It starts with getting your own mind and sense of self in order first. Good luck ❤
I see how much you love Lexi and how much Lexi loves you. And as a person who really wants to find someone that special I agree with taking a break. You shouldn't risk making things worse and you both should get in a good spot where you both can be happy and comfortable together. Depression is one of the WORST things but I know you can get through it. I love seeing people who are willing to share even when they aren't doing well because it makes others feel like we aren't alone. You guys can do this and we will be happy when you are happy.
this so powerful. this is the most hardest decision to make, but im happy that you both are focusing on your priorities, taking care of yourselves and taking a break. im so sorry this is happening to both of you. you two truly deserve the world and all the happiness life gives to you.
I'm not good with words, but I do want to say it makes me glad to see people of my age range be as mature as you both are, taking care of yourselves is indeed a priority. Quite frankly, we all are rooting for you both, wish you the best, and all power to ya.
You guys are so strong.. Austin the fact you are so aware, conscious of your feelings, and are able to admit when you were in the wrong is so amazing. None of us could've imagined what you guys were going through. I was in DENIAL when I saw the title of the video but after watching and listening, I know you two will be okay, the genuine love you have for each other is something that's hard to find, you've been through SO much together, and a LOT of change. It's time to take a step back and take a break, some couples need breaks apart too and that's nothing to feel torn up about, honestly, the fact that some couples don't consider a break when times get tough or when they become too dependent, is what ultimately ruins a relationship but you guys are salvaging it. Tell Lexi it's time for some boss queen prep time, lots of Starbucks, and a nice spa day, [which the both of you need actually,
I really hope you guys are okay. I totally understand you guys taking this break, you are only human and deserve your privacy. I hope everything works out. Be strong, we love you, Austin and Lexi.❤️
Unbelievably mature video. Going into this I wasn’t expecting to come out of this with a sense of appreciation. I appreciate the vulnerability of this. I appreciate you being so open. You guys be careful, take care, and be safe.
I thought this might be a prank at first but had to watch it through, no matter what happens Austin | Lexi, We are here for you! as sad as this is, its not like we can live your life for you
Life is a very tricky chess board. Problems do arise and I'm glad that y'all have seen that. My biggest point I will make for this video is this... the content for the channel is the last thing to be worried about. We support both of y'all and respect y'all. Take all the time y'all need. Good luck to both of you.
This makes me so happy and sad at the same time. Hopefully, you both get out of this state of depression and hopefully you get a better relationship with your father.
I’m so proud of you guys for working thru it and being strong and wise enough to take time for yourselves! You both got this we’ll be here when you are back and most importantly when you guys are READY to come back
This feels so unreal🥺 I am so sad for you guys as your videos always made me laugh and cheer me up during trying times, but yes everyone does have problems, nothing’s perfect, we all gotta recover/heal. I’m glad you’re taking steps to help yourselves and each other. I wish y’all best of luck, no matter what happens you’ll be ok. You do you.
We're here for you guys! You guys are "super troopers"! lol :) if you guys think this is the best, then it is. It's your relationship, so you should be able to express your feelings whichever way you want, and we'll always be here supporting you guys.
Artistic work always comes with the highs and lows. The rush that comes from that feeling of accomplishment is followed up by a crash when you come off that high. Taking a break and finding that sense of joy is a great idea! What once was fun became a chore so it’s good to have a “reset”. Wishing the best for both of you!
How am I just finding this out??! Although it seems like a literal nightmare I still respect how Austin still did what he wanted to do while also respecting Lexi's wishes

I hear the shame and guilt but SEE you’re self aware. Which likely makes things feel worse. Fully aware of every drop of pain and little to no strength to fix thing. Praying for you both. 😪❤️
ok
This is a very mature decision, and to the people saying ‘this has to be a prank’ or ‘love doesn’t exist’ it very much does exist and there Is proof of that in this video, you have to understand that love isn’t just being in a straight forward relationship, it’s about being there for the people you love and the people who need you, treating them with respect and kindness, loving them for who they are, that is what love is, Austin and Lexi are normal human beings with their own ups and downs and have every right in the world to take a break and help themselves. Social media, while there are so many ups, the amount of downs there are is immaculate, it can be very unhealthy, a relationship can only grow when the two people feel happy and secure. We love you guys so much Austin and Lexi you guys are amazing and I hope you guys can feel better soon, take all the time you need, we aren’t going anywhere❤❤❤❤
I… I was about to say love isn’t real… but my heart has been so many times and I’m only 17 😢 plus my parents have been separated pretty much my entire life so I kinda have a reason to say love does exist 😅
Don’t you worry we aren’t leaving. We love you guys! Take that time if anyone needs it you guys do. ❤

@@Hyper_Kid5 okay "katsuki_bakugo" with colored heart emojis around name... the sentence is completely comprehensible, maybe you're the one who has a reading problem. "I am [leaving], I [have] my own drama, [so I] can't deal with theirs too"
to everyones whos saying "please let this be a prank" even if it werent we have to trust that austin and lexi are making the best decision for themselves, regardless of how much we appreciate their relationship. If they need a break, they need a break, and maybe it'll improve their relationship in the future. With that said, its okay to admire their relationship, but dont let your happiness depend on austin and lexi's relationship. They deserve to be happy too.
Edit: Its okay to be sad because of the breakup yall, thats not what I'm saying. I'm saying that don't take such a big hit that it affects your happiness on a more permanent basis. Thank you all for the likes!! I really appreciate it.
This should be pinned and have more likes
Init
they aren't making their happiness depend on their relationship but obviously if they like and support their ship it would effect their mood its a natural reaction
True, we don't want another Popularmmos.
I hope its a prank
I'm 35 and I still haven't learned how to openly communicate to avoid the problems. I find it super tricky to ask for what I need & sometimes to even understand what I need. Good on you for being so vulnerable - these aren't problems that are unique or new & every relationship has similar struggles. Good on you guys for prioritising real life & putting the work in & be kind to yourselves whatever the outcome. Much love
This was an exceptionally mature decision that I was unable to see as an option until I was in my 30's. You guys are going to be just fine. This level of respect and maturity between a couple is preposterously rare.
As a man that suffers from severe depression and who's wife also picked up the slack for a long time, I have nothing to offer other than I understand what you're going through. My wife and I have almost broken up several times and I don't know what the solution is. Just stay strong and do whatever you have to do to keep each other in your lives.
The solution is therapy. A good therapist. My husband and I did it and it's the best decision we've ever made. We always promised to never give up on one another. If you have the commitment, you can do it.
The solution is boundaries especially from friends and family who are bitter, miserable and envious. The ties on people have to be cut.
I knew that their love was to good to be true but I love them
@Taylor Miel oh shut up
Seconding the therapy recommendation. A good therapist will guide you toward new perspectives and new ideas you just can't get in the echo chamber of your own mind. Look for one who specializes in your most pressing issues, and don't give up if the first one is a dud or you just don't connect. When you find the right one, you'll know pretty fast. Personal therapy + couple's therapy is best, if you can swing it financially. It's worth the investment.
For the people that are saying “love doesn’t exist” and “let this be a prank” we have to understand that they are just doing what’s best for them and if they need a break, they need a break. Their needs matter more than social media. Austin and Lexi we love you ❤️
People who say love doesn't exist are usually the people that search for love and get nowhere because you have to wait for others to cross paths with you.
Yeah. Narcissists and clout/monetization chasers will ALWAYS do what is best for themselves and themselves alone. So, no one should even bother with people like this.
I agree 666%
@earthdyrad and that is based on what science?
Oh, it is just based on your idiotic and mindless embrace of romcom movie clichés? No wonder you associate with this sort of content creator - shallow, simple people are often attracted to these utterly useless and mediocre (at best) narcissists.

My husband and I also took a break in our relationship when we were dating (I was 23, he was 25 at the time). We ended up working through our problems and finding happiness with each other, and we decided to get married! These days, our communication is better than it's ever been. Breaks can be healthy, I'm glad you guys are prioritizing yourselves ❤
I am 100% behind your decision. Being a mental health counselor in training and having gone through depression myself, it's important to take care of yourself. An analogy I love to use is "you cannot take care of others until you take care of yourself." Think of the pre-flight demonstration and the oxygen masks. They always tell you to put it on yourself before helping the person next to you. You will come back a stronger, more loving person if you put the work into it. My uncle and his wife took a break from each other, too, because they were not 100% sure they were moving in the right direction. They got back together soon after and were married in 2001 (still married to this day; their anniversary in June will mark 22 years together!). I am keeping you both in my prayers. :)
Dude, we don’t deserve anything. Neither of you owe anyone anything. Live your life, handle your shit, and do whatever it takes to be happy. Your videos have been a pleasure to watch, but at the end of the day, we are all just humans trying to do the best we can. Good luck to you both ❤.

Austin, I just wanna say that you and lexi have nothing to apologize for to us, and ultimately, you and lexis' health, emotional and physical, are far more important to us than content. Because you both are human beings just like the rest of us. Do whatever you need to do, we'll be here.
In regards to your father, this is only a suggestion, but don't hesitate to set boundaries with your father. I learned that after getting out of an abusive narcissist friendship that nearly killed me by unaliving myself, that boundaries are healthy and needed in some cases. And if you set boundaries and your father refuses to respect them, then he's not willing to respect you. That's what i learned with my narc. Those boundaries mean something to you, and if they can't respect them, then they can't respect you or your wishes. If you feel your father and your relationship with your father is taking too much of a toll, don't hesitate to put yourself first over the relationship with your father. Set boundaries to keep yourself emotionally safe. I don't know every detail of the story, so what I say might help or might come across as bad advice. Set boundaries for your dad if you feel something is getting toxic. And to listen to yourself and step away. As a last resort (I cannot emphasize that enough) if you cannot repair your relationship with your father and it continues to pull you further and further down, as a last resort you might need to cut ties to save yourself. It'll be a painful thing for both parties, but some things might not be able to be saved. But as I mentioned, it's a last resort thing.
As someone who has dealt with a lot of trauma over my entire life, talking with your supports, therapy, doing things you love, and doing things for YOU can help. Don't be afraid to cry. Keeping it all in kills. Or almost does in my case. Do things that you love, whether it be gaming, exercise, meditation, or something else. Take care of yourself first. You can't rebuild anything if you yourself are cracking or collapsing. It might sound selfish, but it's not. Take each day one step at a time. You and Lexi will survive so long as you take care of yourself. You can do this, man. I know it might not mean as much as it would coming from someone you know, but know that I believe in you. We all do. You can win this.
And one thing to mention: Use hotlines if you need to talk to someone as well. They're a great resource and have helped me so much. You don't need to be willing to unalive yourself to use them. And remember: You can do this. I know you can. ❤
This is so beautiful. I'm so happy to see how dedicated people are to this channel and how much people care about Austin and Lexi's health. It really gives me hope that we can all get through this together even if it means seeing less of them; as long as they get better, then I'm happy.
🙏💯 beautiful.

Unlike his dads comments the other day on their tik tok 😂 he was so mean
@@user-iy1yr6sl6k I don't have tiktok, could you tell me what he said?
@@jasminecorallista8616i screenshot red them there were so many of them
1. “you care about your dad so much that you thought he had problems and you felt so bad about that you got depressed. Really?! You are depressed”
2. “much appreciate you publicly attac king me thanks! i’ve only tried to help you as you blow fire in my face. read the story of the PRODIGAL SON”
3. “Lexi will just block my comments. so please, no more about me” 😂
4. he out this one in caps😂 “PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BLAMING ME OR WVEN MENTIONING MY NAME ON SOCIAL MEDIA. STOP ACTING LIKE A VICTIM. PULL UP YOUR BOOT STRAPS” 😂😂
Doesn't seem to me like he's really playing a victim or blaming his dad. He doesn't bash on his dad or blame him at all, just explains how his emotions have been affected by the relationship with his dad and how his own emotions have affected his relationships.
He doesn't attack his dad, he doesn't name him, he doesn't accuse him of anything. Just states that their relationship is not where he wants it to be and how this has affected his emotions, in a very responsible way, and those emotions and feelings are valid. Father seems to be religious and not a very big supporter of mental health just by judging his own comments. The dad seems defensive and feels attacked for simply being mentioned. The Prodigal Son is a story in the bible where the son leaves home with his inheritance and squanders it by gambling, drinking, sleeping with prostitutes, and so forth, and when he returns home to instead work for his father, the father weeps at his son's feet in joy for his son's return. From the father's own comment it seems that the dad clearly doesn't approve of Austin's lifestyle of making a career on social media and thinks his son is squandering his life and his money when Lexi is actually creating a very successful career for herself and Austin, and Austin is left to be put under this constant pressure of trying to prove himself. The father childishly blames Austin of "playing a victim" when Austin shows he's doing anything but that and is acknowledging his own struggles and shortcomings, and the father tells him to "pull up your boot straps" which is a very un-empathetic response to any struggle. He seems to think that Austin should get over himself or just get better from his depression, and doesn't acknowledge any of Austin's feelings or struggles, or even any of his accomplishments either. Austin's father realistically want's Austin to come back as a way for his son to admit that he (the father) was right all along and acts as though Austin's return would be welcomed joyfully and with celebration, when it is more likely that the father would just continue to be hard to please and unrelenting in his judgement of the decisions and choices Austin makes for himself.

Sending you guys lots of love. Something someone told me a couple days ago was that the most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. If we can cant like, love or take care of ourselves, we cant truly extend the same to others - at least not without some fallout.
Prioritizing yourselves is so important and I really hope you both get the help and support you need from people able to help and support you.
The world is so big, scary and overwhelming. I’m just 22 and its hard reconciling the fact that we’re so young - our brains arent even fully formed - but that this is the oldest we have been and the responsibilities we have are serious ones. We don’t have the true foresight to feel like these dark depressing phases of our lives will pass as well.
I am wishing you both the very best
Take a break, do whatever makes you comfortable. Social media can destroy mental health without breaks. I hope everything works out for you two.

I don't comment often at all on social media, but I felt compelled to speak up on this video. I've never met either of you, but Austin, I'm proud of you. As a man who has struggled with an extremely difficult relationship with my father, I understand exactly where you're coming from. I've spent 20 years in that cycle of depression, fighting desperately against those demons. And I've only just recently began realizing how pervasive that darkness can run. Those same feelings have led to the demise of my romantic relationships as well. You being able to be open and self-reflective and honest with yourself is honestly inspiring to me. I admire the strength and courage that it took for you to make this video. I sincerely hope the best for both you and Lexi, and I sincerely hope you never give up fighting, for yourself or for her. I may be a decade older than you Sir, but your courage has brought me to tears today. It's also renewed hope in myself. Don't give up, don't ever stop fighting. You're not alone.
Fucking respect, yo. Y'all's happiness needs to be the 1st priority. If you aren't happy, then you won't flourish. We may be bummed, but I can't even imagine what you 2 are going through. I hope you and Lexi find some peace in yourselves and, who knows, you guys might come back from this. But don't make that the expectation or your priority. Do better for you, not the other. You guys got this ❤
Seek counseling for you and Lexi. Don't just walk away. Focus on making peace with your mom's passing. Know that losing a parent will always hurt. Have you ever had a serious talk with your dad? You aren't alone it's reality that couples go through things.
I'm so sorry that this is happening. Honestly, at first, I thought this was a prank, but throughout the video I started realizing that this was no joke. I love watching you guys and I really can't believe what is happening behind the scenes. I just wanted to let you guys know that it is completely 10000% okay if you both just need to take a break, get everything running smoothly, and just do what is best for the both of you. I'm really sorry about you and your father, Austin, but God reassures everything will be okay again. Thank you so much for all your effort in your videos. We all appreciate you and Lexi for being completely honest to us and it's been aa great time on this channel. God bless you❤❤

This is so sad 😭 we are here for you guys at all costs. We love you guys Austin and Lexi!!!🥰
Austin describing how happy and then worse he got is a very sad reality of depression. Depression absolutely sucks and it can ruin your life and the lives of those that you love and care about. Austin shouldn't feel guilty for not being able to help in that time of his life. But it's also good that he's reflecting on that time and knowing what went wrong. I really hope you guys are okay and take care of yourselves ❤ Taking time apart is a very sensible and mature thing to do. You clearly love each other so much and need to be apart to get better on your own.
I hope you guys are both doing okay. This takes major kahunas and I'm so proud of you for posting it, and as a female it makes me so happy to see someone who my own husband can relate to so much to, and it helps me understand him more. You're a doll baby and so sweet.
Taking a break is extremely important.. Looking inwards is always the number one thing. You guys have taught the world what love really is. Even if you don't see it, we see it. We see you guys love and each other, and yes, we see a whole bunch of other things too. I've already noticed that there was something going on and not with the videos but with your guys's eyes. I see the love in your eyes to the point that it breaks my heart just listening to this video. But at the same time, I am so glad that you are doing another teachable moment and showing everybody what it is like to be like. You are showing what's called a butterfly effect. And just to let you know me and my husband and I had to split up for a while. It was for reasons, and narcissistic people are awful, and in this case, I don't see any of that in you and who use surround yourself with. They've all been loving people who have accepted everything that is going on.
We came back and opened up, and we realized that being together was the better decision. We are 23 years into this relationship.
I have had friends that have the same look, the same love. They ended up in divorce, all because they didn't want to breathe, without the other.
You're still the simp king, bit you're the simp king that was one we needed to see. That taught the world, laughter, live, love, and the one we all dont like; heartache.
Thank you. Austin. In my book, that's what a simp is. Someone who is like you and my husband. Loving, loyal, love to joke and laugh.
Your mental health comes first. Please, know we're here with you. If the situation with your dad proceeds, take time to settle it. We love you both.
This is what pain looks like to an honest, loving man with high emotional intelligence. Hope you two can back to where you deserve to be
I really, really really wish them the same... They deserve a lot
I love how much he acknowledged the work Lexi has done, I know it's the bare minimum and I'm so happy to see it, I wish we could have more men like this on the internet without being bullied for being a simp
We are all behind you both 100%
Austin, we love you and Lexi. Remember it’s ok to take a break for certain needs. Take care of yourselves.
It’s great that Austin is acknowledging how much effort and energy and work Lexi has put in to everything from THEIR career to THEIR relationship and to taking care of him, and it’s great he’s also acknowledging that he wasn’t upholding his end of things, that’s a great start. Hopefully he actually changes that moving forward, because that’s way too much pressure and effort and energy for one person to constantly carry by themselves :/ relationships ARE a two way street, and having this RUclips career on top of that also coming down on one person more than the other is not healthy for that person. It’s easy to say you’d do anything for someone, proving that is harder, and I hope that he does.
As someone who has severe chronic depression and very recently was forced to breakup with my boyfriend, I completely understand where you guys are coming from and how hard this is for you guys.
Take your time to figure out what you need to figure out, heal where you need to heal, be in your own space for however long you need to, and do what you need to do. Take your time while doing this. Don't rush back in because you feel pressured or feel you *need* to put something out. Be you, and don't worry about what someone on the other side of the device thinks about your decision. You know that you made the best decision for your situation and you worry about that. We're here for you, every step of the way. 😊😊❤❤🤗🤗
I dated my partner from the age of 17-22. We love each other and loved each other back then but we were dealing with a lot of issues within our personal lives and we fell into the trap of not taking care of ourselves to try to take care of each other. We decided to break up even though we loved each other so that we would focus more on improving ourselves and figuring out what we want. We stayed friends as we enjoy each other's company and have a lot of mutual friends. At 26 we decided to get back together and it has been better than it ever was before. We went and became more of the people we wanted to be and now we're more stable than ever in ourselves and in our relationship. I don't think we met at the wrong time, we needed each other back then. But taking a break was what we needed to grow more since we were just kids when we fell in love at first. I really hope Austin and Lexi have a very similar story.
I am SO proud of you guys. You can't make a couple unless you have two whole individuals. I wish I'd have known this and acted on it when I was your age. Also Austin, I really hope you are able to rebuild with your dad. Tense relationships with parents are never easy and are so heartbreaking. Best to all of you. You've got this ❤
No matter what, I support their decision. I hope they both take their both deserving break. ❤
The fact that the whole “right person at the wrong time” can happen, sucks so much. Bc you had the most healthy relationship iv ever seen (on camera at least). And it sucks to see that you guys need a break from each other. But we respect your decision, as it was the best option for trying to save your relationship. We love you guys sm and we will support you no matter what 💗
you guys dont need to apologize, your health and mental health always come before social media. do what you need to do! we will support you through it all, take all the time you need and don't feel pressured to post videos all the time. Hope you both are doing okay and get better soon!
I agree, Social Media can be very hateful and life can be VERY unfair sometimes. 🥲😭 But it can also be very fun! I hope Austin and Lexi can relax and relieve themselves from all of this soon or someday. ❤️🩹
You two have been my absolute saviors for the past few years, and as weird as this feels to say, I'm kinda glad that you guys have problems. This has shown me that even the most seemingly perfect couples who are absolute soulmates have issues, and it's helped me realize not everything has to be perfect. Obviously, I'm also kind of sad that you two are having to take a break, however, I also think that it's the right decision if there really are problems within the relationship. All of yall's fans will be here to support you and give you guys love anytime you need it, because you two have been so inspiring and funny and just all-around great to watch, it's the least we could do. Much love, and I hope things turn around for the better for you two ♥
We all need to put our mental health first but when you’re in a relationship, you want to make the other person happy as much as you can. But when you need a break from each other, it won’t make the relationship broken, but it’ll help the relationship become stronger. If you and Lexi need a break, we respect your decision so much and we are here for the both of you Austin! ❤
This is very mature of you both. Life is not online, slow life is more healing. I hope you can both come together
Wow 😰 so much respect for you as a couple and for you opening up.
Please don’t apologize, you really don’t need to. You’re an example couple for a lot of people and everybody should respect your break from each other and social media.
I wish you and Lexi the best 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My mum and dad are going through this sort of stuff rn and if they heard this there realize that other people go through it and that its normal to have struggles in relationships.
You guys don't need to worry about us we'll always be here at least I know I will. Love you both❤❤
Take your break from RUclips, TickTock, Instagram and all of the other social media platforms that you guys are on. Dont worry about us and take your time fixing things with you and Lexi we'll be here to support you both
I love that Austin’s so open about all this. I didn’t expect him to say as much as he did. I will be praying for the best for both parts ❤️ I hope for the best!
I really hope things get better in your lives, and don’t worry. Us viewers can wait. And anyways, it’s your channel! We have no control over it. Just know, that everyone of us is here to support you guys in any way. I speak on behalf of me and me entire family that watches you guys, and I just want to say that, we love you guys! And we wish that things get better, and we wish the best for both of you! And as you and Lexi say, “That’s a wrap” ❤
I had no idea you guys were the same age as me…. 23!? You’ve both accomplished so much together and it’s insane how we were literally in high school during the same time. I think it’s natural to take a break, I can’t imagine having to burden all of this on my own at my current state. This is also such a mature way to handle it, and it made me tear up hearing you both love one another so much. I can tell you both still care so deeply about one another, and that’s why you’re taking a break. I hope you both can heal and come back together stronger than ever
I was literally crying since this channel is one of my favorite couple channels, but I was so relieved when Austin said their not breaking up. Love ya’ll, get the rest you deserve
Ya’ll don’t worry about what we think! Worry about your personal life first and do what is best for y’all! And I know that 99.9% of y’all’s followers will support y’all throughout the way. Love y’all!❤️
r u southern
Man shut up no one loves u
@Psykodelik y'all
i’m sorry but when people misplace the apostrophe in the word “y’all” makes me so mad 😭
@@TheRoyalsWasTaken can you actually pay attention to the video instead of looking at words and seeing where people are from. This couple is slowly breaking up. You may feel bad but can you not? It’s really ruining what’s going on. (I also say y’all a lot but that doesn’t change anything.)
It hurts seeing how Austin's dad isn't really there for him. I feel really bad for you! I want you to be happy! Me and my dad are VERRY VERRY close and to see someone who has a dad that isn't there for their child is heartbreaking!
Just remember, so much people are here willing to give you support.we have all loved this journey and we all respect your choice, I hope you feel better and your problems get better soon about your father and all of that stuff.
I second this
Oh wow, this made me sad, but I'm also happy that you are taking the time you both need to get yourselves back on track and heal. You take all the time you guys need and we'll be here to support you!
Thank you for your complete honesty- I know how hard it is to discuss your struggles. Just know that your fans will support you through all seasons of life. We don’t want you to feel pressure about making content; we simply appreciate all that you do post. Please take care of yourselves during this time and remember that we’re here for you 🤍
Aye I’ve watched every single one of ur videos and loved them all, you guys are so perfect for eachother and I’m so confident that when I clicked on this video and read the title I said out loud “no they aren’t, no way” just bc of how great you guys are, stay strong
The fact that I was watching all their couple videos yesterday and now this happens. I'm happy that you guys are being very mature and taking a break as I know this would be very hard. Please take as long as you guys need, we will always love and be here for you. Love you guys
I hadn't checked their channel in a while and was watching their shorts and saw someone said they were watching after they broke up and my jaw dropped
@@theequestriandreamer2020 wait, did they actually break up or are they taking a break? both are different
@Bubbles Austin said break. So hopefully it doesn't turn into a break up
As someone single who thought you guys had true love that I’ve longed for, this hit me so hard. I’ve loved your channel so much and I guess this is where we part ways 😔 thank you guys for the laughs you gave me and I wish you both love and luck on your separate paths
There not breaking up there on a break
@@ImaRat145 breaks are sus usually they create even more problems unfortunately from my experience but I’m praying for them and wishing them the best. If it’s meant to be they’ll find their way back to each other
@@ImaRat145 lol this is a break up lmao its over, unsubscribe, it was fun while it lasted
@@tomlacroix9795 the title rn:👁️👄👁️
@@cassidyslavin910 yep they are sus bc my bf said he needed a break then broke up with me, he was never sad and he went straight to another girl.
Please take a break from social media. We are thankful to always be able to watch your content. You guys are amazing!! You are just as human as we are. I can't wait until you guys give us an update, even if it takes a year. Please focus you both together and apart. You both deserve everything. Best wishes and lots of healing!!
We were here for you when you started, we are here for you now and we will be there for you when you both return. We love you so much and truly hope things will work out. We love you guys! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't think I have ever commented on your videos...I don't usually watch full length youtube videos anymore but this one stood out to me. You guys are wonderful and I am glad that you are both taking the steps needed for your mental health and well-being. I know this was hard for you to film and I so appreciate you sharing. Take all the time you need.
Aww I'm sorry Austin. I hope everything goes well for you
❤
Take as much time as you need 💜
Not sure if you're already in therapy or not, but it's extremely helpful for sorting out your feelings, your past, your relationships, who you are and who you want to be. It's gotten me through the most difficult times in my life, and it's helped me value myself more and recognize how I deserve to be treated. I don't know you personally, but it sounds like a good therapist could help you work through this. You're a bit younger than me (I'm 33) and I wish I'd started therapy MUCH earlier than 4-ish years ago. There's a relationship I really, really wish I could have saved, and I feel like I might have if I'd sorted myself out at the time. Make sure you don't let the opportunity slip away, if you want to make it work. It starts with getting your own mind and sense of self in order first. Good luck ❤
I see how much you love Lexi and how much Lexi loves you. And as a person who really wants to find someone that special I agree with taking a break. You shouldn't risk making things worse and you both should get in a good spot where you both can be happy and comfortable together. Depression is one of the WORST things but I know you can get through it. I love seeing people who are willing to share even when they aren't doing well because it makes others feel like we aren't alone. You guys can do this and we will be happy when you are happy.
I am so incredibly proud of both of you for doing what you need to do to take care of yourselves and each other. Take all the time you need.
this so powerful.
this is the most hardest decision to make, but im happy that you both are focusing on your priorities, taking care of yourselves and taking a break. im so sorry this is happening to both of you. you two truly deserve the world and all the happiness life gives to you.
If there is anything you guys need all you have to do is ask, we're here for both of you when ever needed!
I'm not good with words, but I do want to say it makes me glad to see people of my age range be as mature as you both are, taking care of yourselves is indeed a priority. Quite frankly, we all are rooting for you both, wish you the best, and all power to ya.
You guys are so strong.. Austin the fact you are so aware, conscious of your feelings, and are able to admit when you were in the wrong is so amazing. None of us could've imagined what you guys were going through. I was in DENIAL when I saw the title of the video but after watching and listening, I know you two will be okay, the genuine love you have for each other is something that's hard to find, you've been through SO much together, and a LOT of change. It's time to take a step back and take a break, some couples need breaks apart too and that's nothing to feel torn up about, honestly, the fact that some couples don't consider a break when times get tough or when they become too dependent, is what ultimately ruins a relationship but you guys are salvaging it. Tell Lexi it's time for some boss queen prep time, lots of Starbucks, and a nice spa day, [which the both of you need actually,
Content creators are human too and I think everyone respects you and Lexi taking a break. Please enjoy your break Austin and Lexi we love you
So well expressed. The self awareness and humility is so refreshing and powerful
I really hope you guys are okay. I totally understand you guys taking this break, you are only human and deserve your privacy. I hope everything works out. Be strong, we love you, Austin and Lexi.❤️
Unbelievably mature video. Going into this I wasn’t expecting to come out of this with a sense of appreciation.
I appreciate the vulnerability of this. I appreciate you being so open. You guys be careful, take care, and be safe.
I thought this might be a prank at first but had to watch it through, no matter what happens Austin | Lexi, We are here for you! as sad as this is, its not like we can live your life for you
Life is a very tricky chess board. Problems do arise and I'm glad that y'all have seen that. My biggest point I will make for this video is this... the content for the channel is the last thing to be worried about. We support both of y'all and respect y'all. Take all the time y'all need. Good luck to both of you.
This makes me so happy and sad at the same time. Hopefully, you both get out of this state of depression and hopefully you get a better relationship with your father.
EVERY ONE OF US WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU GUYS!!!!
I’m so proud of you guys for working thru it and being strong and wise enough to take time for yourselves! You both got this we’ll be here when you are back and most importantly when you guys are READY to come back
This feels so unreal🥺 I am so sad for you guys as your videos always made me laugh and cheer me up during trying times, but yes everyone does have problems, nothing’s perfect, we all gotta recover/heal. I’m glad you’re taking steps to help yourselves and each other. I wish y’all best of luck, no matter what happens you’ll be ok. You do you.
We're here for you guys! You guys are "super troopers"! lol :) if you guys think this is the best, then it is. It's your relationship, so you should be able to express your feelings whichever way you want, and we'll always be here supporting you guys.
Artistic work always comes with the highs and lows. The rush that comes from that feeling of accomplishment is followed up by a crash when you come off that high. Taking a break and finding that sense of joy is a great idea! What once was fun became a chore so it’s good to have a “reset”. Wishing the best for both of you!
How am I just finding this out??! Although it seems like a literal nightmare I still respect how Austin still did what he wanted to do while also respecting Lexi's wishes
Major props and much respect to you both. Our family loves you two and we will be here for you two always.
