He said he wanted to take a break, but then we had a really long talk, and we are fine again

My boyfriend and I got into a pretty big fight about a variety of things that have been piling up for a while, and it basically ended with him suggesting that we take a break...I was a bit distraught, so I told him we should talk about it, and we did...for like an hour, and it basically ended with both of us talking about what we both were struggling with, where we felt were spots of weakness, etc. And we agreed to work on those things we struggled with individually so that we can be stronger together...it ended well, despite on the brink feelings that occurred
