When I was younger I was unhappy in a relationship but loved her, and couldn't figure it out, we were living together so I moved in with my folks for about a month, then decided I didn't want to give up on a good thing when I was so unhappy, so I decided to stick with the relationship until I was happier, and then make the call. We stayed together another 2 years before splitting up, we were much happier in that time, and it ended on a good note, there was a lot of love but we weren't suited to being married so couldn't make a future of it, and we are friends now and still very close. You can look at it two ways. You can either say I should have just ended it at the first point I knew I was unhappy, that the break was just me not having the courage to end the relationship, and that it was doomed to end anyway. Or you can say the whole experience was one of growth for both of us, and a lesson in love, and how to do it right, which we both did a good job of. Going back isn't always a good idea, depends a lot on context and how you feel, the kind of relationship you have, and the kind of person you are. Good luck.

Once, and it was a mistake. I was twenty-two and stupid. Won't get into any other details on that story.
In general, though, I think a break is a sign that a relationship is basically doomed. I assume that any girl who suggests a break is going to go out and sleep with some other guy, and I assume any girl who accepts it when a guy suggests a break does not demand enough respect for herself.
Breaks are for people who can't be polite, friendly, and loving when they're mad at each other.
