Does a "break" really help to improve a relationship? Options

[dorkk-ie]

if you were not to talk/see or have any contact with your gf/bf for a week or so, do you think it would help you appreciate each other more? since you're not used to having that one person who's always been there...u realize that it's more important than you think? .. i dunno if i still make sense but ..

my boyfriend is considering we try that approach because lately, we've been in a lot of arguements about silly things, and if this continues, it will just come to a dead end, so he decided to do that "break" i stated above.

do you think that could improve a relationship?

* and for many couples , arguements are inevitable if you plan on a long-term relationship, but do you guys know of any ways we could prevent some unneccesary ones, or lessen the number of arguements.....

and we've talked about this break and our problems already. so the talking approach is done, i'm just waiting to see if this "break" idea actually works.

any suggestions for the arguement part of it? :)

Breaks,
Its how you both come to them I would think. If both of you are still positive about the relationship and you believe that this break will bring you both together, then yes I think it will help bring both people closer.

Although if its one sided. Like one person wants it only to make you both drift apart and the other person doesn't want it at all. I think its going to hurt one person to much to the point that they just get paranoid and feel like they just want to break up and its going to cause more problems.


Also, what are these arguments getting started out with. Every relationship your going to have to deal with the hard times, and you both have to be completely understanding and want to work it out. And just come to the problem calmly. Problems and/or fights, do sometimes bring relationships closer actually. Most fights start off with different opinions clashing and such. So learning their opinion and such is learning more about the person.
