    If your thinking of having a break then you should just end it.


    You have the right not to be killed - murder is a crime.
    Unless it was done by a policeman.

    LOL yeah nice 1 hinny!

    on a more serious note - not wnating 2 inspire any body 2 much who is thinking of "having a break" but every time ive seen couples having a break (including myself) it always just turns out to be an excuse to end it/or go off with some body else.

    mite as well just finish it really
    its not illegal til u get caught :P

    it didn't work out for Ross&Rachel did it?!

    not that you should base your relationships on a cult TV series. but hey <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"&gt;

    seriously though, having a break is a sign that you shouldn't really be together any more. unless you mean not seeing each other for a few weeks because you're on holiday or something, in which case you both need to work to keep the relationship going long-distance.

    Well when me and my ex started having problems I suggested a break meaning that we'd have a few days out from talking to thinking about what we want to do about the problems etc but he said it was a bad idea cos we'd end up splitting up. So we trundled on then a few months later he said we should have a break, and I was like "well you said it was a bad idea cos if we did we'll split up". I really didn't wanna split up cos I loved him soooo much but in the end a break was what we had and I didn't cpe with it too well cos he wanted it to be a lot longer than a week or so. He couldn't decide what he wanted so he came down for the weekend to see if we could "still get on" and that turned out to be a disaster so we split up. I knew when he was here that he wanted to break up but he just kept saying he didn't know.

    Anyway I guess what I'm trying to say is if you have a break make sure each of you know what is involved.

    Whenever ppl i know or myself have 'taken a break' from our relationships they usually end up finishing.

    The way i c it is if u need 2 'take a break' u might as well just end it as i think its just an excuse so ppl don't have 2 go through the 'dumping process.'

    if one person interprets a break as being an excuse to get off with other people, and them being "free" then it can hurt the other one. dont use a break to do this sorta thing... if you want to be with other people then its a sign you dont want to be with your partner.... this is when you should break it off.

    but a break from each other to work things out in your mind is something different, i think this can be a good thing for a relationship. its certainly helped mine in the past.
    Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
