I need some help. What do you think about taking breaks from your boyfriend/girlfriend? Do they do anything? Or are they just one hop away from breaking up?

I just feel like we may need some time to cool down, because we've been fighting almost everyday, and I don't want anyone getting hurt.

Help!

Taking a break may lead to a break up.

I say sit and talk calmly about why you're fighting with each other.
Or at least trying to do so.

there really isnt such thing as a break. when it comes down to it, a break is just a breakup with a "promise" that you'll get back together. The fact remains that the two of you are no longer a couple.

In the time frame of that "break" you might see other guys, they might see other girls. So during this break, you're expecting the other to go through all those relationships then turn back to you after it all and put an end to the break.

No matter how many ways you put it, a break is a euphamism for breaking up. Opinions during a "break" may differ, actions during a "break" may differ, but it still is a euphamism for a breakup.

Yeah.

a little more helpful, sorry the last was just defining something thats relative...

cooldown time is always a good thing, bear in mind that feelings change over time, so don't expect them to remain the same, don't just assume that after a period of time you can merely just restart your relationship. I don't doubt the strength of your relationship, and that you really probably end up with him again, just don't go into the assumption that he'll always be there, vice versa is true for him.

I am completely set against breaks. In my opinion, they just give you more time to grow apart, not cool down. But, having never experienced a break, a together, or any of the related, my advice isn't too valid.

I agree with Ophelia... Sit down and talk with him :-)

I did, and we're fine now. I'm a stupid silly bitch, who's sometimes an asshole to her boyfriend. We'll deal. :-D
