Answer :

answer:I definitely wouldn’t tell him you are taking a break. It should be fine for you to rake a trip with a friend. I’m assuming girlfriend. I can see how two weeks might feel very long apart, but it’s not that long. As far as wanting a little space because you have been bickering. I think you should keep the vacation and the break as different topics in your mind. If you both have been a little short with each other then maybe planning time apart here and there might be good. Anything from going shopping to visiting a friend for a couple of hours. However, you have to couple it with purposely communicating with him about how you both can work together to make things better. How you can talk to each better and find out what specifically is getting on each of your nerves. Checking out of a relationship and avoiding time together for days or weeks is not the answer. You know the saying distance makes the heart grow fonder? I think there is a fine line, and distance makes the heart realize it can be just fine on its own.
