on a break

When a person tells their significant other that they need time apart for one reason or another. It happens when a relationship just isn't working out but you are afraid to actually break up so instead you take a break which usually ends in a break up anyways. In some situations it is allowed to see other people but for some it is not so make sure you have a talk about what is allowed and what isn't because you don't want to end up like Ross from "Friends" and cheat on Rachel when he didn't know it was cheating and be forced to read an 18 page letter front and back; causing you to fall asleep and Rachel get pissed that you didn't read all of it. It is the most deceptive term ever!!!

Usually it is the woman's idea to take a break but in my case it was my boyfriend's idea because he felt bad about not having any time to hang out with me... Idk

What do you call this person, are they still your bf or gf???
Do you still talk to them?
Are you now just friends???"
What the fuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!

"You slept with her!?"
"But we were on a break!!!!"

"On a Break"

What happens to some couples when one person feels like they don't want to be with the other person. It can be for many reasons and most often it occus when one person is feeling confused or stressed. They displace these feelings to their signifigant other.
It can also be used as a way of basically breaking up with someone to explore other 'opportunities' but at the same time, can always fall back onto the other person if you don't find anything better out there.

A dude feels like he's gonna be tied down forever to one girl, and decides that he needs to check out the scene a little more before deciding to bang the same chich for the rest of his life. He tells the girl they are "on a break". If he finds someone hotter, he leaves the chick, and if not, he goes back to the girl. Chicks use this method just as often as dudes.

Take a break

This relationship is over. I will tell you "let's take a break" because it seems like there is a chance that everything will work out, but I don't want to be with you, so that won't happen. This is often used in conjunction with several lies to make the other person "feel better" about the situation.

"Maybe we should just take a break"
"Ummm, okay..."
"Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine, I just need some space and time to figure things out"
"Are you dumping me?"
"No way, you're my girl!" (Lie)
"Promise?"
"Of course..." (Lie)
