Have you ever taken a break from your relationship?

Have you explicitly asked for space and agree to do things separately for a bit? I am wondering if it is wrong to not do things boyfriend asks you when are in a break.

Edit: I was the one that asked for a break because we fight constantly and the fights are quite more hurtful every time. It get extremely flustering and stressful when we are in a argument and it hardly goes well. I need space as it is extremely overwhelming and causes dissonance to be told names and things during arguments but be like everything is okay, doing all nice things, receiving all good things from the other person. I am sure it is hard for him too and want us to reflect on things which I am not able to do spending time with them as I then put the other person's need more in my mind or not wanting to mislead them.

The break is intended to self-reflect about the relationship, values, things that are consistently going unwell and bringing us down. However, since we are living together, we don't get much time apart. We agreed to not see others or sleep around - both of us are not that kind of people, do our own chores and take space from each other as we are extremely hurt. The more we do things for each other, we are just the same way in a relationship.
