a break?

i never believed in taking 'a break' and i still don't believe i do..
we've been fighting a lot and getting on each others nerves pretty easily, but i still don't see how 'a break' will fix that.. we have been able to cope through everything before with no 'break,' i don't see how this time we need one. our 6 year anniversary is coming up and i wanted it to be special but now the idea of taking a break just hurts too much, i would feel as if we were faking to be nice just for one day.. i'm not sure what to do from this point.
