Breaks...

Have any of you ladies ever taken a break from you SO? Like, where things have been bad but you don't really want to break up, so y'all just take a break from each other? I'm thinking me and my bf need to take a break. I just want him to realize some things. Like, the hoes aren't gonna be here for him and hold him down like I do. That you can't keep being disrespectful to the relationship. I just want to be valued and respected. So days I don't even feel like his girl friend till late at night. He doesn't acknowledge me until late at night. We've just have had a lot of problems throughout our relationship. So I was thinking maybe taking a break would help open his eyes. But also kinda worried that maybe if we do take a break, he might just sleep with all the girls and really just forget about me. I just want to try something before we break up.
