it really depends on what type of relationship you're having....if you really want it to last.......and you're really having problems...ur break can't be a one week break where u hook up with every girl u meet.....it has to be one u spend with YOURSELF..with your friends at the most.....trying to figure out if u want to keep going with this....without ur lust getting in the way.....if this is just a fling for you.....then pfft forget it.....u might as well just break up....because then the break may not seem like a break to both of you....just a break up....

Number one: Depends on the age of the couple. If you're still young (let's say any age under 26) then taking breaks is probably a good way to keep yourself in check...physically and emotionally. Hang out in a bigger group of friends and don't think you need to be exclusive when you are young. By this I don't mean fly wild and have random sex and good times with anyone you meet.
BUT...for those over the typical "marrying" age...
It then depends on WHY you're taking a break. If you (or the other party) say they want a break you should definately discuss why and throw out some idea of duration. Also depends on if during the break you consider calling and e-mailing and such to also be off-limits. Also depends on if either of you are deciding to take a break to meet or date other people. If that is the case then just be honest and break it off for good. It's even worse if whoever wants the "break" already has an eye on someone else or an intention to quickly go fishing. It is not fair or right to call it a break and then have someone get hurt by misunderstanding, having misconceptions about intentions or providing vague, unclear communications about your true intentions. Also don't waste yours or someone else's time on dragging out a relationship if you know it is going nowhere.
Don't hurt each other; it's so not worth it.

Well it depends on if you have boundaries for the break. Or you may want to look closer to the reasons why you need a break.
Look at the problems and try to think about how to work them out during the break. Or see if it's worth getting back together.
If you do plan on getting back together make sure you haven't done anything to worsen the relationship during the break.

No, too many people are in relationships that should take breaks. Dating should be way less serious than it is. It's like people think that they need to be in little pretend marriages starting at age 12!

No, not at all, as long as it is something that is agreed upon between you two. Sometimes it takes being apart to know that you are supposed to be together. In fact, some of the strongest relationships I know have been through periods of separation, and it only made the relationship grow. Good things come to those who wait. Good luck! :)

The most common reasons for someone to "take a break" from their bf/gf is that they've found someone else that they're interested in, or they want to "play the field" for a while. Many, many times this ends up with hard feelings and they don't get back together...or the other person finds someone else, and you're just out of luck. Best of luck to you........

No. If you're not sure that's the person for you, you should take a break. If you find after a few weeks you want them back, then "Boom" the break's over. But if you don't feel that, then the break shouldn't end :-D

Well,if you want to take a "break" you may or may not be getting back together depending on who sees who and whatnot. It's basically a pre-breakup, although it's possible to get back together. Depends on the circumstances.

Not wrong. You are supposed to date several types of people to determine what your lifemate needs to be. Dating is the whole point of being young.
