I think it's crucial that one retains a sense of self.

Taking small breaks from people, including my significant other, are essential for our well-being.

I think most do it to "see other people" but I don't want to see anybody else ever other than my wifey <33

there's been times where you love each other but need that time out so you can work on your personal issues and if you do have the need to sleep with someone else then so be it but most people that are on a break don't go on sex sprees, they are more focused on fixing things with there special other.

I don't think it can do any good to take a break from a committed relationship. It can only cause problems. If you really feel that you need a break from your partner, then maybe there is already something wrong. It might be worth checking it out.

that's a key phrase for "hey, i want to see/sleep with other people but you can't hold it against me cause we're technically broken up"

"take a break" is just quicker to say

If you need a break, there is probably something wrong with the relationship.

Yes! Need my space on occasion.

Edit: Just saw the bottom part about seeing other people. I thought you were talking about a little me time for crying out loud. Then no.

LOL! There is a pretty big generation gap when younger folks think taking a 'break' means having an affair and my definition is a girls weekend away from home!

If people could afford it (which most can't) spouses could live separately for a while, and meet up occasionally and the sex would be amazing. They would learn first hand how much they missed one another. Sadly that's not available to most spouses because of budgetry constraints. But if it could be done, I think it would clarify to many people juist how much they depend on one another and how much they want each other.

Or it could clarify that this relationship isn't working and you want out.

it could, but many couples forget how much they need each other. It's only when they're split that they face it.

Yes, that does happen to some. I suppose if you are at that point you split and you find out either that you do want to be together or you don't. Not so good if the two people come to different conclusions.

Maybe when I was younger I would have but I've been married to my second husband now for 11 years and would never take a break from him. Don't want to. At least I found him at a point in my life and never want to leave him . I guess the second time around is the best!!!
