The Jam: Ep. 9: Time for a Break!

When it comes to relationships, people need breaks, and that's exactly what host Bridget McManus discusses in this episode. With the advice from a blog post -- appropriately titled "Taking a Break" -- by PeopleJam member Tara, Bridget helps explain why people need to focus on themselves after getting out of a relationship, rather than jump into another one.

These vlogs are cool. I know for one, I need to spend a bit more time on the ol' self improvement. It's good to have them introduced so well. Thanx Bridget.

I agree with this so much. It really is important to take a bit of time off for yourself.

I know exactly how it feels to desperately need to take a break. I have been in a relationship for the last couple of years. We have been together every waking moment, and have been having the whole totally smothered feeling. I haven't had the heart to tell him that I needed a break, but I know that if I do not tell him soon, that I will go insane. So after seeing this video I know that I need to tell him as soon as possible. Maybe work out a schedule of date nights or something.

I completely agree, especially if you are coming out of a very serious relationship like marriage or civil union. You need to discover why that relationship broke and what you really want in a relationship and in your life in general before you bring a new person into it to share it with you.

Taking a break after a relationship might be a good idea. But there's always rebound relationships that don't last too long (and are fun and might be a break from a more serious one!)
