Breaks

Have any of you taken a break that worked out?

 

If so what were the details.

I've taken a break that didn't work out. But that doesn't really help you.

I used to date that guy when I was 16, we broke up after a year. Of course I was devastated, very sad. I didn't call him or tried seeing him for something like 4 months (don't remember, I know it was the entire summer). Back to school, he calls me, we dated for another year.

I think the are instances, probably very few, where breaks can work. For the most part a break is a segue into a breakup. It all depends on the circumstances though.

 

For a break to work, there have to be clear boundaries and time frames.
