Another bf question

How do you get a "break" from nursing? I laugh when I read things that say to give a bottle of expressed milk to give mom a break...if they have a feeding from a bottle, Aren't  you technically supposed to pump at that time to simulate a feeding? To me, if I have to pump, I might as well just nurse her since I still have to get up, etc. DH thinks I'm crazy and being too strict but I don't want to mess with my supply either. I'd love to have a break and have him do an overnight feeding now and then but I just don't know how to do it without me having to pump at the same time and I dont want to do formula either. Is there something I'm missing? How do you get a break?
