What does a break in the relationship usually mean?

Does it mean that you're still going out until someone take the initiative to drop the bomp? or is it the same as breaking up?

It always seems to me that people taking a "break" in a relationship are usually just trying to clear their head by avoiding the problems instead of confronting them and trying to fix them.
Usually it's a pre-cursor to the more permanent "break-up".

People who need "breaks" from each other should probably just break up. If they get married, are they going to still need "breaks" from being married? It doesn't make sense.

A break is when couples are tired of each other, or a particular situation they're in. Usually they use this opportunity to find new people to talk to and have sex with them. If after the break, the other person don't wanna get back with you, then it would mean they hooked up with another person. If they end up back with you, they probably had sex with the other person, and it didn't work out. So you're not just a rebound of the rebound.

Well I haven't had any good experiences with breaks...but personally I think breaks are a bunch of bs...unless if they were mutual. But if it isn't, it's just like testing the waters, waiting for someone while they go do whatever they want, and then when they feel like it they get back with you again? BS.

It means that you guys are giving your relationship a rest ; Technically speaking, you're single when you're in a break but most girls think that you're still in a relationship. Sometimes you get back together and sometimes you don't.

I've had my experience with 'breaks'. My boyfriend and I went on a break over the summer and I thought we'd never get back because he wasn't acting like he wanted to. We did though.
