Maybe You Need a Break

Ever been in a relationship where you’re in love with your partner but just can’t see through the haze of frustrations?

Perhaps it’s time for both of you to take a break in the relationship, and from each other. 

There are many issues than can lead to a relationship break, and it's important to realize that sometimes, a break is a good idea. 

It doesn't mean that you'll actually break up. In fact, a break can end up strengthening your relationship – it all depends on what you do when you take a break. 

When you tell your partner you need a break, his or her first reaction may be to think that you want to see other people.

However, that's rarely the case. You might just need to find yourself, to reconnect with who you are as an individual rather than as part of a couple.

Relationships can be tumultuous and passionate. While passion is essential, it can wear you out. 

A break to calm down, get yourself collected, and chill out can keep things from burning too brightly. This is one of those occasions when a relationship break is really helpful. 

If you're not sure you're really in love with your partner, then a relationship break can be hugely beneficial. 

As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. If your heart does grow fonder, you'll know your feelings are true. If not … well, like I said, it's better to know this sooner rather than later.

One of the biggest misconceptions that people have when it comes to taking a break in their relationship is that their relationship is over. That isn't true at all! A break doesn't mean you are breaking up, remember that!

Finally, a break can bring an entirely new sense of understanding between you and your partner. You'll come back from your break feeling completely refreshed and who knows, maybe you will love each other a little more!
