'break', honest opinions please :) Options

[forthesakeof]

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?

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.

^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.
