But, how would you translate "give me a break" into Spanish?
Here in Cuba we would say something like:

Dame un chance.
Dame un respiro.
or something like "Suéltame" but this is not something to tell to a boyfriend...you don't really want him to let go, unless you really want him to.
but we could also say something like (and this is the translation for "take it easy")
Cógelo con calma.
...cause at the end if "you take it easy", "you also give me a break"...
