Its another question that bothers my mind from time to time because I have gone through it myself. To me, the meaning of a 'break' can have many rules and restrictions between the unsure couple. Whats your take on it?

uhhh... breekk ezz breek..

just don't go on them, chances are if you still have feelings for the significant other and they go and do something (like kiss or more with someone else..) its going to hurt you, you're going to argue and maybe never get back together.
not saying thats the case with everyone, but a break is a break and that pretty much means, temporary split.
i just wouldn't go on one. its either lasting or its over.

My friends broke up but the other thought it was more of a break. It really made me think if I could handle a break but in the end, I don't think I can do it. Its either together or over. No gray area for me. I don't even like thinking about it.

I think that if there is any doubts in your mind you need to talk it over with the other person in the relationship. If you guys think the problem is seeing too much of each other, then I'd suggest that you maybe spend a week just hanging out with your friends away from each other and then you'll realize one of two things. "I really miss this person and I want to be with them," or you'll decide, "Well I think I liked the idea of being with them better than actually being with them and it's not going to work out for either of us. I refuse to accept that we're on a "break" either we're together or we're not. DOn't throw that "Well yeah I have a girlfriend but we're on a break but it's only untill this sunday." They never end the way you hoped and it's just easier to come to a mutual descision to break up than having a big nasty fight over something one of you did while you we're on "break."

I think it's something that varies depending on the people. And that should be something that you talk about before you take a break, especially if it's a serious relationship and you have intentions of getting back together with that person. If you don't talk about it with him/her, someone's going to end up getting hurt.

^^^ amen.

I've never gone on a break - it's either been a break UP or just an "I'm going to spend a lot more time with my friends and pretend I don't see you in the hallway" phase where we don't talk. It really does depend who you are. If I went on a break, it'd probably end up becoming a break up and I'd fall in like with someone else

^Amenx2.

Also, if you're serious with this person and have intentions of getting back together, most couples would set these guidelines and rules around what a "break" would mean. For example, you two wouldn't specifically be together, but you can't see other people. Or there are breaks where you aren't together, and CAN see other people, and not become jealous about it. (Although I technically don't see how that would work out, because I know for sure I'd get hella jealous). It depends on the person you're taking a break with, and the situation behind it all. I personally just think breaks are the preliminary-sort of ground for break-ups, and I'd rather not take one.

Break = it's over. There's no way on earth I'm going to do that.

lol, this is awesome. People actually respond to this. badass. :D

how bout you stfu and stop spamming

Am I the only one who believes in breaks? Well, it depends on your situation. I mean, if the summer is approaching and you just wanna put your relationship on a hold so that the both of you can be free and not tied down to do things like hang out with friends and such and the both of you agree with it, then go for it. It can also be a situation where the both of you need some time away from each other. Eh, each relationship is different so some people believe in breaks and others just see it as a way of breaking up.

First things first, anyone else see the infamous episode of friends where Ross and Rachel were "on a break"? If not, now is the time. And watch just about every episode after that for the rest of that season. Can't remember what Ross does, but it is bad, and he never lives it down.

Breaks are tricky. It depends on the people and the situation. Most of the time it is just a way of saying they want to be with someone else, but they don't want to lose you just yet. A weak pathetic thing to do. Most of the time it is best to just take a breather and come back and talk it out.
