Does taking a break really help a relationship?

Question

I love him and he still loves me but we don't know what to do anymore. It's like were drifting apart. I know he needs this, I want to give him time and space and well time to reflect wouldn't be too bad for me either. But I'm afraid it will its just leading up to a break up. Does it really help?

Answer 1

well, i think it depends on how good your relationship is at the time of the break. i just had a break up, previously i also had asked so many breakups. when we had made up, my bf made me promise not to ask for a break up anymore cause he wouldn't be able to take it anymore. however, recently i just asked again, and apparently that's it.

so, i think you should make sure your relationship is strong enough for you guys to get back together again after the break. if necessary, communicate to him that it is meant to be just temporary, just for each other to think for a while and to give a chance for you guys to miss each other.

that's it. i mean, if you still love each other, it would be unbearable to break up for good, like what i'm going through right now. i feel like i can't go on with my life now.

good luck.

i dont htink taking a break is the best decision you should take.. i say really talk to him in person an clear things out because taking breaks is like a break up thing an if you guys do that you guys are never going to end up going  back out. just talk things out ok=) good luck

Taking a break is breaking up. In my opinion it is by far the stupidest idea in the entire world. It's basically getting permission to sleep with someone else and still know that when you get bored with that person you still have that relationship to fall back on. I know that if my boyfriend ever asked me for a break like that, I'd have to sit down and talk things out with him and it would probably be one of those big long talks that usually end up with me in tears. But if it was something we could fix then we'd go about fixing it and not take the break and if not then I'd break up with him and move on no matter how much it hurt me.
