Sure- it's called being secure. If there's mutual trust and good communication in the relationship, there's no harm in taking a break and exploring different things. It's a misnomer that if people are truly in love that they have to be together 24/7. There's an old saying: "absence makes the heart grow fonder -familiarity breeds comtempt."

Why take a break if you still want to be together? But the more I read your question, the more I understand because I'm going through something similar. I told my b/f today that I think we should take some time away from each other. We're having some issues that obviously are not getting resolved to I told him that we should give each other some space for a while so we can learn to appreciate each other more. If it's meant to be, we'll get back together. Just let nature take it's course. So if you're having some problems, then yes I guess it's okay to take a break.

I've never understood the concept of taking a break. A break from what? Are you still in a relationship? Is it like being separated while you're married? Do you just not hang out with each other? Do you agree to date other people? Is there a time limit to the "break"?
The whole idea is nuts because couples don't discuss what it means for them individually-- so one of them goes out and dates others, while the other one thinks is just time away from their mate for a week or two.
In answer to your question, it's only o. k. when both people in the relationship are clear on what a "break" is.

well, if you want to take a break from each other, maybe each of you are not getting enough space. are you two spending a great deal of time together? i suggest backing off the time you spend together instead of backing off each other totally. if that doesnt help, you might be headed for a break up. both of you need to get involved with the things youre into that you dont do anymore. do you like to paint? take an art class or buy yourself some canvases and paint and have fun. does he like skateboarding? he should go skateboarding with his friends or just take some time to himself to skateboard.

I guess it depends on what you mean by take a break.- If you mean take time apart. Then sure it is. It makes it so much better when you are together. If you mean - be with other people. Your not ready to be in a serious relationship yet.
Take your time. Relationships are always better without pressure.

Take a break is a harsh term...remember what happened with Ross and Rachel when they were on a break? If it is a break, then both sides have a right to be temporarily single. If you still want to be together, why do that...

Take a break and date other people? That's called an open relationship.

Yes....sometimes its good to take some time away from each other. Sometimes its needed. My hubby just went to Kentucky for a week and it was so good having some time alone, BUT when he got back, it was so nice having him back. It made us both appreciate each other so much more.

Anything that both partners in a couple agree to is okay.
