Have you been dating your SO straight from the beginning? Or did you take a break?

    We broke up once for a day. I'm DHs first relationship and he thought the grass was greener on the other side till he realized it wasn't.

    No breaks. My DH doesn't believe in them. When he's done, he's done.

    No break up breaks. But I did go 8 months without seeing him during his deployment.

    My SIL has been with her boyfriend for 4 years. I swear they break up every couple of months just to get back together. They're like high school teenagers.

    Haha, yes...we broke up after a few months of bad dating. Not a "break". I didn't talk to him, we saw other people, I was totally done with him. Then one night I was out and randomly called him. We moved in together and he proposed and it's been almost 10 years.

    After two prior relationships with guys who would want/need breaks, I finally (with the last guy) put my foot down.

    We broke up for a week after a year and a half, and then for 3-4 months after about 4 years. We were 18 and 19 when we started dating and we both had some growing up to do before things went to the next level. I think we needed the long break and without it we would be in a totally different place right now. We were engaged within a year of getting back together.

    Straight through. No break ups. We had a couple rough patches in the first two years but nothing like that since.

    So I must admit that when I started dating my husband with the mindset that we would have to break up eventually since I was living in a different country (his) and had a definite end date where I would go back to the US. With that in mind, I broke up with him as that date approached so that I wouldn't be completely heartbroken when I got back. Erm, that lasted about a week. We were long distance (like...two different continents long distance) for about a year while the visa situation was sorted out, and we've been together since...hardly spending more than a day apart!

    Have never taken a break with DH in 7 years- we dated 3 years and have been married 4. I did many times in my previous 5 year long-term relationship, and I kind of agree with something I heard once: "It's called a 'break-up' because it's broken."
