It is essential to momentarily quiet these emotions to engage in a rational conversation about the reasons behind the request. The first step is to ask the person why they feel a break is necessary while maintaining a calm demeanor to encourage an honest dialogue. Understanding whether the issues are internal or external to the relationship is crucial as it will guide the next steps in addressing these concerns.
