Taking a break from your relationship may be the hardest step that you may have to take with your partner.
If you guys still end up together after the break, you might just conquer anything else that comes your way, with that in mind, you should take it the right way to realize its benefits and emerge stronger after it.
Make sure to talk it out with your partner and make the decision to go forward with this as a team and not individually. When you do it on your own and break the news, your partner will not take it so well as compared to how they would if you made the decision together. It will also show your maturity in dealing with obstacles.
When you have a mutual feeling about going on with the break, make sure you both set boundaries that should be observed during that break. Things will not be the same as they were during the relationship and you need to respect that.
Finally, make sure to utilize your time wisely and figure out what led to the current situation. Do some soul searching and get to know where the problem is and how you can get to solve it as soon as possible. Do not take advantage of the fact that you may not be answerable to anyone.
