due to my problems in my marriage, i decide to leave my house for some days. i guess i need a break to think the next step in my marriage. maybe after the break i can think clearly and get rid all the problems. do you need a break in your relation when you face some problems?

Hi, Of course I always have to take a break if there is a big problem that bothers me. For problems that occur in your marriage, I think you have the right to do that. As far as it can make you calm and clear thinking to the future of your marriage. Whatever your problem, I hope you can come out. I pray for it. Nice day

My household problems never finished. Sometimes, I want to go, and leave the house. I want a break from all my problems. However, leaving home, do not make my problem be done, but it will make increasing. I am now, trying to enjoy a problem that I experienced. If I'm very tired, I am trying to find entertainment for me.

At least, your husband realize that he has hurt you. Where is your aim? Did you go to your parents house?

Hi ifa A break is advisable when a couple is mutually in agreement to at the break time work towards strengthening one another. The break will only work if both agree upon getting back together the new way of how to handle the relationship. By breaking away you now have put a condition and that condition is telling your husband that something has to change. However if you and he upon getting back together do not discuss what is is that needs to change I am afraid that the break may only have done harm then good. It is good to take a break, but do keep in mind if you and he discuss your return that there is a goal the both of you will be working towards. I understand the feeling of wanting a break away from the issues, but do keep in mind that anytime you do so to a sense, upon returning and nothing has changed it is stating that all is quite alright the way things are. Do take care of you ifa, and I will continue to pray for you and your children.

Ifa whatever break you take or anywhere you want to go you wont achieve much if you did not put it down on paper what your problems are and write also what you want in life. Dont forget Calculate your age also. A stalker will always know that you are in some kind of trouble if you are out alone out there at the wrong place and the wrong time, understand? U want to consider divorce wait at least your children are 12 years and above, its being wise......

Always husband right coz he the head of the house, he gives rules he know what ahead, u just make him happy take care of his belongings always must not ashamed him in front of others in what ever way. Unless if he married you with wrong intention than u feel like yo yo....at the moment just stay at home, write down your need, pros and cons, better still you plan good picture for your marriage, friend also have own problem after you might get wrong advise. Run if he beat you...if he not faithfull fight for your man.

Separation hurts regardless of why it was there. I've always got each separation as a life lesson, to my shame that lasts long enough to deepen all the lessons from it and I can open again, no heart, because heart heal but the mind. With time you learn that life does not stop in place for love, no matter how much it hurts, learn to live with pain, you put your order in right thoughts, regain your confidence. After all life is beautiful and deserves to live as if tomorrow would be the last day, because if you do not take single moments in life, she will not put on your tray.

hi ifa yes sometimes in even the best marriage you need a break from each other to sort out the problems and work out how to fix things. I never run across that in my own marriage as we took care to handle any problems while they were just little ones. But I know that for a lot of people its better to just separate for a short time and figure out whats wrong and mend it.

Hi Mrs.hatley, maybe we need to describe it more so we can know what exactly where the wrong is. we need mutual understanding to be open about the real problem. i hope after this trial we can be a better parents and spouse

yup, it works for me...taking a break just to give myself some time to cool down and think clearly helps me a lot in making decisions. i make wiser decisions and i can control my temper or control myself from acting stupidly and later on regret the things i've done. it always takes time to think and figure things out... depending on how complicated things are. anyway i wish you good luck and i hope you'll find the best solutions to your problems soon.

Hi kquiming, i need break does not mean that i want to leave him forever. some break will give me refreshment. and just like you too, by doing that i can control my temper by acting stupidly. thanks for the wishes

that's right..wanting a break does not mean wanting a break up... it simply means taking time to think clearly by yourself :)

we need some privacy time sometimes. in that time we can think what we have done in different side. and it is fun too that we can enjoy the time to do what we want to do just all alone

It's better to have a break rather than hurting each other that soon. When we are sad,or been depressed with so much emotions,it's good to have a break. Get some rest and relax to clear your mind. Think of a better ways to save everything. There are up and downs in our lives,could be in our marriage life or even with friendship or siblings relationship. Taking a break is the best solution...not to ruin a good relationship. have a good day and keep smiling

Hello jaiho, i feel more better after one day leaving from my house. it is good that i don't have to pretend that he is not here around. being alone in a room now makes me relax after some hard quarrel

Oh... It is quite serious here. So you did not try out that weekend cafeteria idea. I know, it is always best to talk out and work out a solution to the problem. There is no problem that cannot be resolved. (Maybe we dont get to see the solution at times). Going by your earlier discussions, this step of taking a break away will work for good no doubt but I also see a small sense of risk involved. I think, you already are having a distance between you and your hubby... and somewhere I feel that this step of going out for a break may just have its impact on the distance... But still I think taking that risk is better as you will see the problem from a distance and maybe a third person's view. Good Luck. for me, I think we need to go out on some travel as I am quite sick of staying all alone at the house for so many hours and I think this will help us get more close.

Hi sid, i had try to pick him up and plan to go to the cafeteria, but he seems that he is not enjoy it and i can see that he feels tired after work. i hope when i come back to my house i will feel better and have another solution. thanks for that wish, i really need it

Definitely, that is a good idea for it. My ex and I had this communication problem while we were together, and I hold it up for while, until one day we both had this big argument. So, I decided, and she also decided, we should take a little break from it. When I come to think about it, I just knew that we might not be the one for each other. Clear your mind, and think about the future.

Hi King, that is what i am trying to do. away from him could make me more aware that whether i will feel lost or i will feel miss.

Taking a break for a marriage really helps when there are problems that cannot solve anymore. We need to refresh ourselves for us to think more wisely and find a better solution. try also to ask the old or experts to get more options of solutions.

Although I'm not married, I know that for me, taking a break from someone or something helps me calm down and not get so wound up. I think you're doing the right thing. Take as much time as you need to figure out what you want to do next, if anything at all.
