I personally think taking a break is a good idea. My current boyfriend & I took a break for about 2 weeks to cool off a couple of months ago. Things were just getting crazy, and I think what we both needed was just some 'time-out' to chill. He got to spend some more time w/ his friends, and so did I. It gave us time to cool down and figure out why we were feeling the way we were, and we were better able to 'air things out' about what was happening before.
My older [biological] sister is currently in the middle of a 'break' with her boyfriend of about 7 years. They too were having some problems and it has made him feel so far that he wants to be with her.
