    Hi all,

    Just a quick query, does going on a break from a relationship work?

    A bit of background on my situation is that myself and my boyfriend have been having a difficult time in the last few months. I do love him with all my heart, and I know he feels the same. The problem is we argue alot - it's not the actual arguing that's the problem, it's the issues we argue about. There are some big issues and differences between us. I thought if we could have a break for a few weeks and come back to the relationship with a clean slate, clear heads, that maybe we could have a much better relationship than ever. He thinks a break is just a way of easing into a break up. As a result, we have now broken up and this is not how I wanted things to go.

    Does anyone out there have experience of taking a break and then getting back together and it working?

    Thanks in advance for your advice

    IMO in general a break = breakup. Break is just a lame excuse to avoid the awkwardness of break-up.
