"Breaks" in a relationship?

Breaks are bullpomegranate.

And god dammit I love "Friends."

For me, that would be time to split.

Breaks are bullpomegranate.

This.
Quick little story that happened to my best friend...
My best friend Bryan at the time was dating this girl for over a year and a half. Finally, something similiar happened to your case and it resulted into a 2 week break. There were no phone calls made, text messaging, etc. After the two weeks, they broke up. Both of them finally realized that they didn't really need each other during those two weeks. They were living life the way they wanted without anything holding them back. /endstory
Which brings me to my point...

I do not believe in breaks whatsoever. It's either you're together, or you're not. Why? Because being in a relationship, to me, is like a job. You can't just quit the job for a week and then walk right back in thinking you're still good. I'd do that all the time if I could. You have to keep working on this relationship with your significant other no matter what happens (that is, if you really care). This is how couples become stronger in the end. Don't give up if you truly like/love this person. It may suck now, but things can definitely turn around in the future.
Also, seems to me there is a huge obstacle that your partner is facing, and this is the route that he is deciding to go with. I also believe there is some key information that he is not telling you. Obviously there is something he knows that you don't. I'm not 100% sure what it is, but try to see what you can do to make it better? Perseverance my friend....perseverance.

You will hate me for this.

Think of a TV show, a book, a game, a movie. something like that.
Now go on TVtropes and search it up.

We'll see you next week.

next week? psh, i finish 20+ episodes k-dramas in three days.

Clearly you do not know what TVtropes is.
(It is not a site you watch TV shows on)

Wow... this happened to me 20 minutes ago. We love each other but for strong reasons we had to take a break.
I'm so sad right now that I can't even focus on what to write...

I have a friend whos been dating this guy for like 5 years. He wanted a "break" or something, any who, they broke up a few days before their 5 year of dating. She was a wreak about it, and eventually they got back together a day or two before the 5 year mark. Last week, I found out they broke up again, and from what Im hear, it is because the last break "wasnt long enough".

Ill level with you guys on these two people. The guy is a really nice guy, and is really caring, soft spoken. She is weird, hard to deal with sometimes, and pushy. In a way, theyre kinda opposites. But I would also say, that he deserves better than her, because of the way she interacts with her guy friends and other people. That said, I feel its shitty to "ask for a break" in a relationship. Asking for a break is basically saying "hey, I wanna date you, but I want to not be dating you for a period of time". To me, it opens up the possibility of cheating, because youre technically not in a relationship, so its all right, when its not at all.

he wants to sleep around with implied permission.
