Why break up just to make up right away?

The way I see it.

Separation, even if temporary, allows growth.

And sometimes, growth is crucial but how can one grow without providing a sufficient amount of time and space to do so. 

Individual growth is not only beneficial. It pertains to many aspects of life, not just being a better partner.

But to be a better partner, if that is indeed the goal, you must become a better person as an individual.

Allowing time to yourself, time to reflect on what did and did not work, enables you to do a better job the next time around.

Whether it’s with your previous partner or even the next one.

Point is, you will have a better chance.

When you give yourself a chance.
