Did taking a break help your relationship?

Question

For those of you who have taken some time (aka 'a break') from a partner on mutual terms but stayed faithful to each other during it, whether it be because you need it or they need it or for some other reason.. did the time apart make your relationship stronger or ruin it? Would you suggest a couple take a break if they've been arguing a lot but still love and care about each other, or do you think it's better to stay together properly and work through it?

Answer

To me breaks are pointless and ridiculous. We either work things out and stay together or we break up and go seperate ways. No wasting time.

Answer

It depends on the people. For example, me and my SO have taken 2 breaks. We called it 'break ups' but we continued talking (just  a lot less), and I didnt see him for almost 2 months. I missed him and he missed me too, and once Ive seen him, its like weve just met then. We got along much better and I felt like we were both much wiser and better, we started off seeing each other more often again but without the "gf/bf" titles. 5 months later we got together again for the third time. That was nearly 2 years ago and right now hes away to get me ice cream cause im sick. the break made both of us realize what we could lose and how bad we miss each other. It was hard, but worth it. Maybe try talking to your SO first, say how you feel and if it doesnt work... take a break on MUTUAL AGREEMENT AND TERMS as otgerwise it wont work.

Answer

Nope. Ended breaking up anyway.

Answer

We took a break but didn't call it that! It was a straight break up. Three months later we both had some time to think and realized we didn't want anyone but one another. Worked it out and feels like we are stronger for it.
