Do you believe in breaks?

As a young woman, me and my s/o have been going through some problems. I feel as though it is problems that are fixable. I think I am more worried about the future as I am graduating next year with my bachelors degree and he never talks about the future. He said that he’s been thinking alot about his career and he doesn’t feel like he’s doing enough and that reflects onto me where he doesn’t prioritize me and put in the effort. We decided to take a break because of this. We’ve taken a break before because of him and our relationship was way better after but now it’s not.
