Is a month too long to take a break in a relationship?

Anonymous
My boyfriend suggested taking a month long break in our relationship because it has been going downhill. I agreed to it even though I dont like the idea of it being an entire month. We made specific rules for our break. We can not see, date, sleep with or have any other inappropriate interactions with others, even via telephone, text, phone calls, social media, etc. It will be one month long of absolutely no contact for any reason. And during that time we will evaluate if our relationship is worth saving or how bad we will be impacted, or not impacted, if we broke up for good. Is a month too long for a break? I feel like it shouldn't take that long to miss someone or decide if you want to be with this person you should already be at least half way sure. What do you think? Also any advice on how to go through with this without losing my mind?
