Taking a break from a long-term relationship can be a difficult decision and it's important to approach it thoughtfully. While it's possible that taking a break could help you gain clarity and perspective on the relationship, it's also important to consider the potential risks and challenges.
In some cases, taking a break can lead to a deeper understanding of each other's needs and a renewed commitment to the relationship. However, in other cases, it can lead to further distance and a sense of disconnect. It's important to communicate clearly with your partner about your intentions and expectations for the break, and to set clear boundaries and guidelines for how you will communicate and interact during this time.
If you do decide to take a break, it's important to use this time to reflect on your feelings and needs, and to consider whether the relationship is still meeting your needs and expectations. It may also be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a counselor as you navigate this process.
Ultimately, only you can decide what's best for your relationship and your well-being. It's important to prioritize your own needs and feelings, and to approach the situation with honesty and openness.
Bring it down. To me that's a very clearly bad idea. Some people would certainly disagree. I'm sure there are people for whom a break DID help strengthen their relationship. I sure as hell would never agree to that (under any circumstances) in my own relationships. I do not think it can ever bring people closer. I reject the premise that "time apart" is helpful for figuring anything out.
If you feel the way you feel, you need to breakup with him. Not take a break. What are you realistically thinking is going to change for you if you take a break? You aren't going to all of a sudden get some sort of clarity. It isn't all of a sudden going to be any easier to break up with him (which I think you already know deep-down, that you're going to need to do)
If you need a break, the relationship is as good as over.

u Do you know ANYONE whose relationship was ever strengthened by "taking a break?"
If you want to break up, do it. . . that's your right. . . but don't break up by "taking a break" wth the intention of fading away and just avoiding the break up talk. You've dated for four years; he deserves to at least hear your explanation.
When you are not around, your man thinks of you less.
When your man thinks of you less, he starts to think about your replacement.
This is why "No Contact" is bullshit.
Breaks are a waste of time.
