text: if your partner wants time away from you...? if he/she tells you that he/she needs a break from your relationship does this mean it's over? though generally,people think a relationship is losing its charm when your partner says they want a break, but i beg to differ.it's true that too much nearness can be killing for the relationship,even for those who love each other too much to be without their partner.sometime one needs to be with oneself only,to be in solace for some time..so to maintain their freedom some people like to take a break now and then.but it does only revive their relationships,when they come back.a break doesn't necessarily means a "break-up".
