I've never taken a brake in a relationship, but I have recently witnissed it with an other couple I know very well - I'll have to add that they were in a relationship for three years before they took a brake [don't know if this is relevant, just thought I'de add that fact] - this "seperation" initially was also meant to be for a couple of monthes. The "girl" innitiated it and after the time expired she wanted to move on, the "guy" got his hearth broken, frankly he is a mess right now. In hindsight it appears that the relationship was doomed and that no time apart could resolve it. The "girl" had allready made up her mind ...
That's the only case I know of, and I doubt that it was what you wanted to hear ... but that's how it played out in their case ... so to answer your question "Do taking breaks in relationships really work?": my anecdotical experience would suggest not. Then again you're not them - maybe it could work in your case, but based on the very little information you have provided I doubt it since your post suggests that getting together again was not part of the deal when you broke up.
