Question:Have you ever taken a relationship break?

Sometimes I think a little time apart can help people appreciate each other more.

Answer:

I have taken breaks. From my experience, they don't really work. You miss the person all the time. You feel you can be a better person in the relationship onc you make back up. But it's important not to forget why you took the break in the first place and reolve that issue once you get back together, otherwise it will keep popping back up.
