1. A break doesn’t necessarily solve your relationship problems
When you choose to go on a break, it does not mean that things will automatically get good when you come back together.
The key to then making it work afterwards is to address the reasons why you went on a break. Otherwise, you are just going to end up back in the same situations you were in before you went on that break.

With a relationship break comes the freedom to entertain others. Don’t think it won’t happen.
