Have an honest conversation with your partner: Explain to your partner how you feel and why you think it is necessary to take a break. Discuss what the break means for both of you, how long it will last, and what the boundaries are during the break.
-
Discuss logistics: If you have children, you will need to make arrangements for their care and support during the break. You may want to consider discussing a plan for how you will continue to co-parent during the break.
-
Find a place to stay: If possible, consider finding a place to stay during the break. This could be a friend’s house, a relative’s house, or even a short-term rental. If you cannot find a place to stay, you may need to make arrangements to sleep in a separate room.
-
Set boundaries: During the break, it is important to establish clear boundaries. This may include not seeing each other, not contacting each other, or setting specific times to check in.
-
Seek support: Taking a break can be difficult, so it is important to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist. This can help you navigate the emotions that may come up during the break.
