writes:What do you guys mean when you say you want a (time defined) break? You may have told her you wanted the break because of the fighting, or because you had things to figure out in your mind and needed space. I know it depends... but... on average? It would be so interesting to get the male perspective from their particular situations. Do you mean you are a step out of the door or could it be just your way of solving a problem- by walking away from it for a while? Are you trying to see how life could be without her? Is it true that there is not anyone else involved, or is there usually a lady lurking in the background? Please please please any opinions and honesty would be so appreciated.....

Wow, hope I'm not too late to contribute here. I'm that guy. I live with a great woman for years now but she can't have children and as I've matured, I now think I want them. But I've never had a relationship where I shared that goal. That's why I'm wondering if I should suggest a break.
Say 6 months where I rent a room elsewhere in the same town. We can even still date during this time, the only difference is that I temporarily will spend most of my time living with other roomates. We both can date and have sex with new people, as long as protection is used and the other is shielded from knowing about it.
In my case she loves me so much she's already said I can occasionally sleep around if I am totally discreet about it and just have to have a taste of variety here and there to stay satisfied. She has the same right and I don't begrudge her. I just don't want to know anything about him.
I'd hate to break her heart, but I can't automatically invest my entire life without a successor because she can't have children and doesn't want them. Yet, at the same time, she is a sexy, sweet, and loving person!
It's all so crazy!

 Some people might mean they want a break in a relationship is they could not be ready for one- or just need a break from fighting you might have towards the person- or number one favorite just to remain as friends because they don't want to lose that friendship. At least thats what I think.
