Taking a Break

I don't know if this should be in the Dumping forum or dating but when couple say we need to take a break does it mean they are separated for a time or are they still a couple?

Example in one of the episode of Friends Rachel said to Ross they need a break and Ross went and sleep with this other chick since Rachel said clearly they were on a break does that give the right for Ross do sleep with this other chick?

haha everyone has their own meaning of the word "break". it just depends how the person that implies it means it. raverboy

What exactly does taking a break mean?

Whoa, we're using examples from Friends here? Well, probly to a lot of guys taking a break would mean, "Cool, i can go do as many chicks as I can before she wants me to come back to her." I think it just means that she feels (or he) that they are spending a little too much time together and need to just hang out with friends or be alone for a little while. Being by one's self is essential to the human spirit. If every waking moment is spent with another person, things are bound to feel smothering. That's what I think anyway.

true..usually when girls say they want a break, they want to spend some time to themselves or away from their significant other. they might feel crowded or just need to time review their relationship. raverboy
