What is this business with taking a "break" in a relationship? Is that not just a step away from a break up"?

Posted on September 5th, 2008 by admin in Relationship Break Up

When you’ve reached the boiling point in a relationship and must take a step back, what then? What happens when the wave of appreciation for the other person rushes over you and they suddenly aren’t there? Are you just screwed? Should you call the other person or will that only make things worse?
Is there anything that really remedies these situations?

It just means that you need to zoom out and look at the big picture and identify why this has come about. if you can identify it, discuss it, and mutually work at a solution it will strengthen your bond in most cases. if it takes a turn for the worst then you need to come to terms that it wasn’t meant to be. Take it as a victory or a learning experience

    Admit it, you are breaking up.

    Not necessarily. There are times when even after 21 years of marriage I and my husband need "apart time" just to breath and recoup. It's not about appreciation, it's about realizing that you don't loose individuality in a relationship. You still need to feed your inner self, and sometimes that means being blissfully alone in a quiet (or not so quiet) space. It gives you time to process and think without external influences and hopefully come back refreshed and ready to try new things to keep the relationship on solid ground.

    The relationship is too intense, stepping back for a bit allows a person to evaluate if this is what they want.

    to me taking a break means you want to see someone new but want to keep another person on hold in case it doesn't work out with the new person.

    Taking a break sounds like someone wants to cheat without really cheating.

    It's just a way to break up without saying it, in my opinion it means the one asking for the "break" is just too coward to admit his/her feelings have changed.
    It happened to me once, when my bf asked me for some time off I told him I knew he was not coming back so he could go, that for me it was over, he said no, I have some issues at my office, when I solve them I'll be back. I never heard from him again, 5 or 6 months later I found out that he had gotten married as his secretary was pregnant, and his baby had already been born.
    I guess I was right.
