whats the point of breaks? dissagree or agree?

me and my boyfriend are on a break! we just been arguing so much!! i don't wanna break but after a week of not being with eachother, i guess i kinda get over stuff i was mad about with him?

i dunno....... wus the point of abreak? avoiding not having to work through shyt and just taking time away from eachother to get over it?

Boyfriend and I were together almost two years, and we were both under a lot of stress related and unrelated to our relationship..started arguing a LOT pointlessly, it got out of hand you could say. We both needed time to think, so we took a month off. It was enough time to relax, think things over, start really missing eachother, etc...Sure, during that month we called eachother a couple times, broke the rules, shared our "I love yous" and "I miss yous," but the time apart helped us a lot. Some things we needed to get over, it didn't take talking about, believe me, we talked! Anyway, after the break, we were happy as could be together. No problems, no arguments, nothing. It was definitely a healthy choice.

You're all so positive!

If you really can't stand being around each other that you need to take a break I think it's the beggining of the end (or the end...). My "breaks" have lasted forever lol.

me and my last boyfriend took a break after we'd been together a year because i was scared basically. we were only young but i was so in love with him and knew i could easily end up spending the rest of my life with him.i figured i just needed to get a bit of fun out of my system so i could settle down. we only had a few days apart though because i felt guilty for askin for a break and so i guess i didnt get it out of my system. we were together two years but broke up last month because i didnt matter how many breaks we had, we were too young to settle down. i guess breaks are just a couple in denial of their problems.

a "break" is just a "polite" way of breaking up. My ex and I went on a "break" and he stopped calling and talking to me and I tried to talk to him but it didn't help. Granted my ex was an a$$hole and yours might not be!

I think breaks are pointless but in some cases it may make people realise how much they need echother. but in other cases i agree with what someone else said, it is just a polite way of saying i don't like you anymore.
