Welcome to yet another edition of Elcrema Sunday Love Special.<\/p>\n

Today’s topic is on relationship breaks: Is it healthy for a couple to take relationship breaks?<\/p>\n

Drama and Shawn would share their opinions.<\/p>\n

Drama <\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s normal for people in a relationship to want to take a break sometimes. There are different reasons why people do it, sometimes, it’s because of jealousy getting to unhealthy heights, and other times, it’s just to take the focus off their partner and put it on their own life.<\/p>\n

Now, these are very logical reasons, sometimes, these breaks help to make the relationship stronger and better when things get back on track, but I like to look at things from more than one perspective. While taking a break is sometimes good for a relationship, in that it can help a couple rediscover themselves and the whole point of being together, it can also lead to the death of a relationship. The moment you decide to stop being close to someone, no matter how momentarily, there’s a huge chance that you’ll lose interest in them. Relationships have ended that way\u2014 from taking a break, to gradually slipping away from each other’s thoughts, and probably meeting other people. And then, there’s the other reality there; can you really take a break from someone you care about? If you ever get to the point of wanting to be away from the one you care about, then maybe you just think you care, but you really don’t. No one truly in love can bear to be away from their partner, so if you ever have to contemplate taking a break, then, it’s probably a sign that the relationship is done for, and you guys need to move on. So rather than deceive yourselves, simply end it.<\/p>\n

In my experience, breaks never really help.<\/p>\n

I think relationship breaks are healthy, depending on the situation at hand. If you just wake up one morning and feel you should take a break from your relationship, then that’s wrong. Relationships shouldn’t be a bulb you can switch on and off at will. When you take unnecessary breaks from the relationship, you toy with your partner’s emotions and you could kill your relationship as well.<\/p>\n

However, when the relationship between two partners become too toxic, they could decide to take a break from the relationship, give each other time off to heal from the hurt they have had from the relationship and then decide to continue or end the relationship.<\/p>\n

Relationship breaks could also give couples a chance to clear their heads, think about their relationship better, think about what went wrong and how they can strengthen their ties.<\/p>\n

Also, it could give couples a chance to miss each other, and understand how much they mean to each other.<\/p>\n

Relationship breaks aren’t bad at all, but it isn’t something you should just do for flimsy reasons. Many couples have taken breaks off their relationships and came back stronger, and many have taken breaks and decided they should move on with their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
