re: Do "breaks" work?

Yeah I'll agree with everyone here... Breaks don't work. It is really rare that a person requests a break because they are tired of the person they are with. They request a break because they want to explore another option, and still have the current option if that doesn't amount to anything.
A break typically means you are a safety net. Go elsewhere and be first choice

Plenty of people I know went through a "date other people stage" early in their relationship but I never did. So sometimes I guess it works.

The only break I've ever taken was a month of pure dogshit that ultimately ended up with us ending the relationship. 3 years wasted over some childish nonsense on both our parts. Turns out that break saved each of us from more wasted time

When she gets king sized in her vag, you'll be history.

Every healthy married relationships I know of, the people broke up at some point early on in the relationship and got back together during the dating period. I think it's inevitable. Me, my parents, her parents, a couple of friends.
When you start to get serious with someone especially if you're younger, that's a big change, most human nature is to resist change at first before accepting it.
ETA: maybe I misread the OP. A conversation of: ok let's take a break for a month and come back is ludacris. Breaking up and getting back together later is a different thing.

I'm not sure, but when I leave for a period of time for business my wife always seems happier to see me when I get back.....

Did she initiate this break? If the answer is yes do the following:
Go speak with her, tell her you are not comfortable with that and wish her luck as you end it that moment. Be the kindest and most genuine person you can be.
Moving forward do not call her, email her, ask her friends about her. Do go out, have fun and seek the comfort of other women.
If you manage not to be a whipped beta week man she may try to rekindle things after the guys she bangs and dates prove to be less desirable than you.
The above is gospel and make it so.

Hell no and if you ever hear a female tell you that. Leave her.

breaks to a woman "let me go get some strange"
you should do the same.
you should do the same.

I would just say okay and never bother with her again. I don't need to do the whole Dawson's Creek sit-down and make the breakup official. I know she will come back. I won't take her back, though.

Ending a relationship is best done like removing a band-aid. Rip it completely off and start recovery sooner. There might be a moment of pain but it is far better than an agonizing slow painful removal that ends with the same result.

No. Taking a break means someone in the relationship is slinging the D or P

She's trying to cheat on you without "cheating" on you. FACT. Or she has already and is trying to dump you without the drama.

A break is what people say when they don't have the balls to fully break up with you yet.

Both really.
A break is unacceptable. There is no appropriate length of time. The time is YEARS. If you two happen to cross paths again, and have gotten all the fricking out of your system and are ready to just frick each other? Then it is OK.
Your GF has her plan B. If I were you I would be lining up mine. Or lining up my single buddies to start taking me out.

No, she wants to see someone else but still wants you around as a backup plan if it doesn't work out. Keep your dignity and tell her to frick off.

As a general rule, no. Especially in relatively new <1 year relationships.
I do know of a surprising amount of serious relationships where the couple split up (either legitimately or with the "break" concept) and then got back together and got married. Honestly, I think I'm aware of at least 4-5 marriages like that. But they were all together for at least a couple of years before the split.

I dated a girl and I broke up with her. We got back together 4 years later and now we're married. It's funny how that happens.

She's auditioning the guy who will replace you.
