My bf and I decided that we should take a break because he's stressed right not with work and home and its taking a toll on our realtionship, we never discuss the terms of this "break" so how is it diff from a break up, are we supposed to be seeing other people, no talking to each other, what? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

If you don't make the rules clear then, you cant get angry if he sleeps with someone else. This also goes vice-versa, you guys should really talk about the rules. Cause if you are looking to keep the relationship going, having rules and acting like responsible mates is a must.
Good luck!

A break is just that. Your taking time out from one another but you are still a couple. It would be better if you got the rules and regulations from him so you will know what you can and cannot do. Sit down and agree on the terms of your break from each other. You don't want him to see other people if your not seeing other people. Discuss this with him so you are clear on the situation.

In my opinion there is no such thing as a break. It's either yall stay together and work the kinks or break up and be like whatever. I am sure that if you have this young man being your BF you have thought about having him as your husband. When yall having problems and stress becomes an issue you dont want to here I need break. Not when yall have kids and bills to take care of. Just think about it what is the purpose of having a BF if yall dont talk, go anywhere, or do anything BF and GF things. You might as well become SINGLE!

Breaks can be tricky and in my opinion not the best idea, as if you do end up back together you'll always be wondering what really happened in your time apart!
having never experienced a "break" before as far as Im aware you are allowed to see other people - just not take it to a physical intimacy of sex. Kissing is ok though.
Maybe you need to speak to your boyfriend about what terms are involved in yours - that way you're both on even footing and whats good for him is good for you.

I think that it depends on if you are planning to get back together with him. Make sure he wants to get back together with you, as well. Some guys use "breaks" so they can gain distance without hurting the girl as much. If he wants to get back with you and you with him, just don't do anything that you think would hurt the relationship by telling him later because he very well might be curious. However, if it won't break your heart if he's not with you and you have the option to go out with someone you think could be even better- go for it. A "break" is dependent on what you both want it to be. Ask him for the terms and go from there, if you are to speak or no. And if you are and agree to date other people as well with the possible intent on getting together- ask him to not discuss that with you on his part or yours (it will lead to hurt).

In a break, you are now available to anyone and everyone.
If you hook back up, no mention is ever made as to what went on during the break

I don't know! The rules always change with
each season,and they are always so hard
to keep up with!!!
I would say it means exactly what it is
suppose to be, " A BREAK" !!!
Don't talk,give one another some space,
you know?,like back off awhile.

A break is just another way of saying, "I want to screw other people and come back to you once I hit a dry spell".

not every break means the same thing for everyone. you should communicate with your boyfriend what his/your expectations are to get you both on the same page.
