My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years. Things were picture perfect for the longest time until a mix of stress and other factors eroded our relationship into lots of tension, passive aggressiveness and petty fights. We weren't sure how we felt about each other anymore and weren't happy.

We've decided to take a month long break to hopefully 'reset' I just want to hear from all those who have taken a break and go on to have great relationships with the same person. I'm specifically asking for this because I'm a really pessimistic person. Everything in my mind is getting me down. So please, no sad stories. I have enough of those keeping me awake.

Thanks.

I didn't get many responses the first time so I'm posting this again
