I think it all depends on what the break is for. If it's to get your head straight so you can give 100% where you have not been able to before, then a break can be the healthiest thing for your relationship...then again, if it's to see what else is out there, then it's just an excuse to run around on your partner and be able to say, "we were on a break" if caught.

I'm sure there are a lot of scenarios between those two extremes...but my breaks have always been to get my act together without the pressure from my partner clouding the issues I need to deal with.


I was gonna say pretty much the same thing.
Breaks are definitely the pits!

Unless you know the mind of your partner very well, I think it's always hard on the one the break is forced upon to truly know what is going on and one person will always feel threatened by "a break".

It's sad how this proves a double edge sword, since the person who really needs a break before moving further into the relationship may put the relationship at risk by not getting one, but may drive their partner away by insisting on one. Just another instance of how unpredictable and unfair life can be, huh?
