It seems to me like "taking a break" is really just a nice or delusional way of breaking up, but I could be wrong. I "took a break" from a relationship earlier this year, and all the break has done is convince me that the relationship was not good for me in the long run and not something I want. I had a feeling this was the case while in the relationship but couldn't see it clearly until I got out. This seems to be the case with person I know.
Any exceptions here?
