IdahoLabradors Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I am curious to hear everyone's experience on taking a break from a relationship. I have been dating a woman for about 7 months. Our romance started while I was in the middle of a divorce. Now post divorce, she has indicated to me she wants me to take a breath and step back to make sure this is the relationship I want. She told me she loves me but wants to know that I want her the same way and isn't sure of my feelings. Heck, I'm not sure of them so I think she has good intuition and in better touch with her feelings and possibly mine. However, I am wondering if breaks really work and help create a stronger relationship or if they just ultimately lead to a break up. My issue is that I am holding on to hope that there is a future for us. I'm worried that it may be easier just end it now and go our separate ways. We have agreed to take a 2 month break where we have limited contact. May be meet for a drink from time to time or talk occasionally but no more dating or sleepovers. Any thoughts on breaks v. break ups would be appreciated.
