elaine567 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 It is a risky strategy and should only be undertaken if you are very aware you may lose the other person in the process and are happy with that.. 2
Hopeful30 Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Yes, I've done that before, but only because I wasn't brave enough to break up fully. For me this never worked because the men were always offended and didnt give me space or the break I wanted, which led to a full break up. To answer your question, it helped me better understand the relationship by how the men responded (e.g., did they respect my space or not) and how I felt being out of a relationship.
Miss Spider Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) I have and only would do a “break” if I wasn’t that happy in relationship anymore, hoped some space would rekindle interest, but would be perfectly content in the event we never got back together again.

No. "A break" either meant "I want to sleep with somebody else but have it not officially be cheating" or else a softer prelude to the official breakup. 1
