If you kiss someone else during a short break, is it cheating?

[Anonymous]

We took a short break a couple weeks ago and then decided to get back today. However, I kissed someone else yesterday.

Did I cheat?

Not going to tell this obviously as I won't want to restart the relationship already with this. But not sure if this is still cheating.

You know you are stupid and under 18 so i am really mad at you for doing this... but know one thing... even if you have taken a break you have not broken up with him permanently... And its wrong to do this... why are you even with him? you don't even love him if you are kissing other guy... so whats next now? Sex with that guy? And thrn you are gonna post the same question asking "oh i just had sex with some other dude... did i cheat?" You kidding me?

Seriously i would dump a girl like you... and yes you cheated on him...

Its not cheating but it's still potentially hurtful/ disrepectful to your significant other. A break is a way to have some time apart to clear your mind not not an excuse to makeout with other people.

Would you feel cheated or hurt if he kissed another girl during the break?

It's not cheating technically all though whilst on a break, people take breaks to figure out what they want, to see if they want to be with the person they're taking a break from etc. I wouldn't tell him just solely because if you told him it would only be because you'd want to get it off your chest, and not to benefit him. You kissed someone, okay moving on, time to get your relationship back on track.

Well, if you kissed him while you were on the break, rationally it isn't cheating. Although If I was the other person who is also taking the break, i would not like that at all, and would consider it something really similar to cheating.

If you both agreed that you are not together at that point in time, then I would say it's not cheating.

Yeah, we both agreed it was going to be a short break.

[Asker]

but I get the feeling many would still feel kind of cheated on

[kdizzleforizzle91]

Well... if that's how you FEEL, then no one can really tell you if it was cheating or not. I'm just saying in terms of the status of the relationship, I wouldn't consider it cheating... I might feel awkward, but I wouldn't let it get me down if I knew we had both decided we weren't together at that point.

Depends on how serious the relationship was. If you have to ask, then yes. It was.

We've been dating since our sophomore yr and now we'll graduate this year. But thanks. This is something I won't tell.
