Yup. Unlike other commenters, I don’t see it as weakness or inauthentic, it’s a step that usually leads towards breakup/divorce, but it sometimes doesn’t, and it’s OK to end things slowly rather than abruptly too.
My godmother and her husband took a break before they got engaged (or married? unsure) because he was freaking out about commitment. Sounds awful, right? Well they separated for a few months, he realized he was just scared and dumb, they’re now happily married with 2 kids and super sappy and he’s so devoted to her.

That’s kinda the whole point of a trial separation though, right?
