I say they can go both ways. It depends on what the two want for each other. If in that time they realize how much they miss each other and enjoyed each other's company, then the break will strengthen the relationship. But if they're apart and they realize that they want to explore new things, then they will proceed from the time off and make it official.

To me, breaks are testing the waters for a break up. It doesn't mean that a break up WILL happen after a break, but it just seems like a dress rehersal for one to me.
I don't do breaks. Either we're together or we're not. None of this messy breaks business. Breaks can get quite messy...you're technically "single" but are still "together" with someone else. Can you flirt? Can you date others? Are you okie with your bf/gf dating someone else while being with you? Most couples that I've seen that went on breaks usually end up breaking up. I suppose breaks can be good thing...but to me, it's just too iffy to play around with. |

I've been on exactly one "break" sceanrio. To say it ended after that, is a gross understatement. My friends joked around and tossed the old Ross from Friends "But we were on a BREAK!" quote. They did this because of course, because he slept with another woman before getting back together with me and I ultimately found out because, well, he had to tell me. (Baby makes three, anyone?
 )By the way, @SimplicityGirl - I really like the way you post. :) |

Breaks to me are "cheaters insurance."
It gives you and your other rights to do whatever they want and then when they feel that they want to get back together if they ever do.Drama always happens because then someone is always going to get mad that either you made out wirh some other guy or he slept with some other girl,And then other people get invloved and other peoples feelings get hurt.It sucks. Its a mess and my rule is that you either want me forever or you want me never.Im not some backup when you get tired of the single life. |

The thing with breaks is they can be taken as good or bad.
The good, it gives the two people a break to have some "me-time." Which can bring them back to each other the same way they were in the first place because everyone needs a break once in a while. The bad, it can end in a break up. I've seen plenty of relationships go sour after a break. I suppose its understandable when being on a break with someone for a extended amount of time and the other persons eyes start to wonder and they may find another interest other than you. I guess then you really have to accept it and move on as well. Also some people figure out that their not cut out for a relationship or the time of commitment the other person wanted out of the relationship. Also it matters how both people look at the break, and what breaks mean. I think a lot of people really should discuss this issue before accepting a break. A lot of people may see breaks as almost a time when their completely free and they can do anything like they could when they were single. And others view it as just a time away from their partner when they don't talk and get their heads cleared out. |

I personally dont like breaks at all.
My ex boyfriend said he needed a brake and ended up telling me a couple days later that we were never getting back together.. |
