Before deciding to come back together, create a mission statement for your relationship.

This is another reason I, personally, have taken a break. I was with someone who said he was just so busy with his career that he needed a break until things calmed down.

It only takes one small thing to make a break permanent.

Is "taking a break" an invitation for infidelity in a relationship?

Have you ever heard any of these excuses?
