your thoughts on breaks? how to move forward together after a break?

i have never taken a break in a relationship. it’s hard to admit but i have very little fortitude for grey area when it comes to love. although, one might say that love is just a bunch of grey area that we willingly ignore all the uncertainty, the anxiety of a long awaited text message back, the follow up after the first date, the dreaded internal ‘are they seeing other people?’, the arguments, the ebbs and flows of staleness, and the indescribable pain of feeling like you are going down different paths and we choose to wade through the unknown for the chance to love and be loved. i always thought of breaks as something couples resorted to when they were too scared to actually break up. in my head, breaks were a way for someone to gingerly step one foot out into the world to see if the grass is really greener.
