taking a break

[f U z ! o N]

why do people take breaks in a relationship?

from your own personal experience with them please tell me what led you to take a break and why.

Most of the time it's either that the person no longer wants to be with the other and uses it as a milder way of breaking up.

Though, I'm sure there are some who just want to take some time apart and find themselves, I don't put too much faith into a relationship like that. Once you're married, there are no breaks.

yeah, I'd have to agree. I went through it with my first and only boyfriend(now ex-boyfriend).
Sometimes i feel people take breaks is because maybe one is going under a lot of stress at this time, and cannot handle having the relationship and they do not want to drag the other down or hold them back.

I took a "breaK" because her parents forced us to

Some people use it as a nicer way of breaking up....

....others don't want to committ to breaking up because they aren't sure they want to break up at all, but the tension has gotten too high between them and the other person and its the only thing they know to do.

To re-evaluate the relationship.

I agree. Most of the time it stems from one party not wanting to take the responsibility of just telling the other person it's over. I have never observed anyone taking a "break" from a relationship who ever reconciled. "Break up" would be the more accurate term.

a break doesn't necessairly mean a break up for good i have learned. every situation is different and we really can't assume.

Sounds like something my Fiances parents tried to make us do... I wasn't having any of it, you shouldn't force people to take breaks from relationships, especialy when there over two and a half years long.
