Sometimes the strain and stress of maintaining a relationship can push two people towards the point where they consider ending their relationship. Especially in relationships that have lasted very long, making the choice to call it quits for good is a very drastic decision and many might choose to put their relationship on what they call a break. These breaks are often very ambiguous and the terms are not so clearly defined. During these periods the two might drift apart and even start to see other people. What happens during these breaks can be harmful to the relationship as a whole if either partner should do something during the break that might not be consider acceptable by the other.
The first thing that should happen after the “break” has been agreed upon are some kind of terms. These terms will be hard to reach as discussing them is most likely to lead to more arguments and turmoil. A break might last a few days or even a few months; however, both partners can find themselves in a heated blame game if undefined terms are violated. Telling your significant other that you might want to start going on dates with other people can be a touchy subject; but, if you want this break to nullify any exclusivity you had for each other, find a good way to explain that.

If you are going on the break to explore your options of try out the single life again, be prepared for your partner to do the same. You cannot get angry with them for doing things that you had all intentions of doing yourself. These kinds of actions may lead to more problems and cause you and yours to terminate the relationship all together.
If you are worried about what the other person might be doing on your “break”, you now have forfeited the right to check up on them. You may not want to address those concerns directly, but maybe the break is not the right move then. The world of relationships is very complicated and making official, yet undefined moves like going on a break can be dangerous.
When you still find yourself uncertain, don’t go on the break. Making an official move can cause the other person to act in ways they would not act if they did not think you were breaking up with them. The break may force your partner to think that you are trying to find someone else, but don’t want to jump until your foot is on the other side. Be careful about all the different kinds of moves you can make throughout a relationship because they can always be interpreted differently and bring about things you never wanted to see happen.
