Sometimes, when a couple is going through a hard time and they find it difficult to leave each other, they both decide to take a break from the relationship. A break from all the responsibilities of the relationship, a break from all the fighting and arguing, a break from the commitment, a break from feeling like they need to take care of their partner. Taking a break in a relationship does not necessarily mean a breakup. But in a lot of cases, it ends up in a breakup as one of the partner realizes the relationship is not worth saving.When you take a break, you are putting your relationship through an ultimate test. You are trying to see what life would be like without your partner and without the relationship.
1. When you’re no longer sure about the relationship
If you find yourself constantly questioning the relationship and really wondering if it’s the right relationship for you, then you may need to take a break. If you’re spending lots of time with your partner, you can’t get the view that you need to decide whether or not the relationship is actually working. Taking some time away will let you approach the issue with a clear head.
2. When it feels like you’re losing yourself
Maybe you’ve been at home with kids or you’ve been focused on how stressed out their job is and trying to help. If you ever find that your needs have been completely shifted to one side and you feel like you’re just part of a couple—rather than a person—you need a break. Taking one weekend off with friends will do the trick or maybe you need to just go away for a few days and get back in touch with what you want.
3. You’re getting on each other’s nerves
A good sign that you and your partner need a little more space is if you’re starting to find each other difficult. Spending too much time together can mean you start seeing all of the tiny things that are wrong with each other and you stop seeing why you love each other so much in the first place. Either find more time in the course of your normal schedule to take breaks from each other or decide to take a weekend with friends and reset.
If you feel you loosing your mind in your current relationship why not take a break?
