I don't think there's one specific way you're supposed to feel when you're in love. Sometimes love feels peaceful and exciting, but it can also bring up fears and doubts, especially if past experiences affected how you handle closeness. That uneasy feeling doesn't necessarily mean you don't love your partner, but I also don't think you should ignore it. Since you're already taking a break, maybe use that time to understand where it's coming from instead of immediately deciding whether to stay or leave. Ask yourself: when you're away from them, do you genuinely miss them, or do you mostly feel relieved? And when you imagine continuing the relationship, does it feel like something you want, or something you're forcing yourself to make work?
You don't have to rush the decision. Sometimes you need to understand the feeling before you can understand the relationship.
