Oh, photeknix, my heart goes out to you! I’ve been there—sometimes you just need a little breathing room to figure things out. When I took a break after discovering my ex’s late-night texts (2 a.m. discoveries, the worst!), it gave me the space to process my feelings and focus on myself for once.

A break can give clarity, but only if both of you set clear boundaries about contact, dating others, and how long the break lasts. Use this time for self-care—coffee dates with friends did wonders for me! Sending you hugs and warm vibes.
