Guys Reveal What They Really Mean When They Say They Want To "Go On A Break"

In a totally normal world that made sense, you'd think when people said they wanted to "go on a break" with the person they were dating, they'd mean just that: spending some time apart to recharge and reevaluate the relationship.

But I'm not sure if you know this: We absolutely do not live in a normal world that makes sense. Just last year, people dressed as clowns and ran around terrorizing other people for literally no goddamn reason. A Cheeto is president for f*ck's sake. See? Definitely not normal.

Clowns and Cheetos aside, because nothing makes sense, it can be hard to tell what someone's actually trying to tell you when they say they want to "take a break."

Do they genuinely just want to take a break? For how long? Do they secretly want to see other people? Do they just want to be single? WHY DO YOU NEED A BREAK FROM ME???? I'M PERFECT????

Well, if you thought going on a break with your partner genuinely meant that they wanted a short break to recharge and come back to your relationship rejuvenated and ready to love, think again.

A group of guys took to Reddit to reveal exactly what it means when they say they want to "go on a break" with someone, and they were definitely... honest.
