I only said yes because you didn’t exactly fully cut it off with that person unless if you guys had a discussion about it I would say it’s cheating.
BUT WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!
Right or wrong, good or bad. Once my fingerprints go on a chick, they have to be the ones on top. If they aren't, then its just a waste of time being with her.
Depends if you and your previous partner had an agreement that it’s okay to see other people. Technically it isn’t cheating. You are taking a break.
But I get his it feels like cheating because your “on a break” and not broken up.
Well its technically not but its not going to make the situation any better if you are hoping to work something out.
I suggest you make sure you are done before moving on.
Just break up. Be friends. Move along.
Don't ask dont tell. Don't need to tell.
Take it to the grave home.
If you are not in a relationship, it cannot be cheating.
How can you cheat on a relationship that does not exist?
I agree 100%
Yes, if your time was meant for each other to find each other so you can come back to being more connected, but you “did” someone else, that’s cheating. You basically did your S/O dirty.
Technically, yes it is. However if you've done this while on a break then you sure as hell know it's over rather than a break.
Yes because a break is not a break up now if you both agreed you can sleep with others then not cheating because no one is doing something behind anyones back.
lol
Depends on the terms agreed upon before taking said break. Still if you need the break just break up. It's easier on everyone because most won't take the time to agree to proper terms.
Yes. To me it sounds like the person wants to be able to have their cake and eat it too. A “break” only sounds like an excuse to go out and cheat
If you know you’re going back to your partner, having sex with another person does nothing but complicate things. If you broke up with them for good, then do whatever you want.
Nope a break isn't the same as a break up to me. It's just time apart form each other. So ya it's cheating and i ill consider that as a break up
It would only be considered cheating if:
1) Both you and your partner have agreed to a « break ».
2) If you/your partner believes you’ve broken up, but you/your partner thinks it’s a break.
No... its different if you discuss it before you decide to take the break... but Don't take a break and you won't have to wonder.
I don't understand "breaks" in a Relationship. Either You're in, or out. It's supposed to be a Commitment, not based on you're mood.
If you care about him don’t sleep with someone else
maybe not, but that doesn't mean its appropriate and certainly doesn't mean your partner's feelings of being are invalid. your partner doesn't also owe you shit and can leave you for good because of it.
Technically its not but emotionally it would feel like it. My boyfriend and I had a break and he had sex with my younger sister, he had technically every right after I said I wanted a break from our relationship with a mind to see other people
I’m surprise you’re even with him still I’m glad you guys had a discussion but your sister? That would’ve been a dealbreaker for me
@Thatasianlove16 my sister was always a jealous bitch. He only did i think to make me jealous. Was actually dating a guy myself at the time.
Yeah that already sounds like a toxic relationship. With both your boyfriend and your sister.
It would've been a dealbreaker to me that she asked for a break so that she went try guy number 2, who was already in the picture by that time, but that's life
whoever said no is fucking stupid. You are still in the relationship you dumb fucks
Relationships my ass, breaks are as good as breakups. You can't work it out in relationships, what makes you think you will be able to work out it while on break?
The point of a break is basically to see if the other person runs off. So if you take a break and then sleep with someone, they usually won't take you back. They were hoping you wouldn't sleep with someone else.
Don't we have like an entire friends season dedicated to this question?
One can consider a break as meaning, a break from being monogamous or exclusive. So it would be okay.
Watch the episode in FRIENDS when Ross sleeps with another girl while on a break and see what happens. Then decide if that's what you want.
So many of life's problems can be related to a FRIENDS episode if only people would pay attention to the wisdom.
Kinda true actually
I knew you would see it
I think that break is meant to make you realize if you love each other and to know that you have to try see other people
It's not technically cheating but it's still wrong. Consider you ties cut with whoever you are on a brake with.
Yes that’s cheating and a major red flag if the first thing u do on “a break” is fuck someone else 🙄
I don't do breaks. If she wants a break, I consider that a signal that she wants to test drive other models. That's fine, but I'm not hanging around to see if she comes back.
Cheating is different in every relationship man, some people would care, other won't. But i mean, chances are if you think it's cheating, it's usually cheating lol
Yeah, if you're taking a "break" just to have sees worth someone else then you were missing looking for a way to have an excuse so you don't feel guilty about cheating. Either way you're a scummy person
Total slut status, she’ll go on a “break” every time she wants to fuck someone else 🤣😂😅
It pretty much ruins any hope of getting back together healthily, so if you want to do that, just break up. Honestly. You could bring an STD into the relationship.
The Jezebel spirit is strong in many modern women
@Prof_Don lol what the heck do you mean? when did this become about gender?
Many men are affected by the Jezebel spirit, too
A break is supposed to get your head right in a relationship not get together with someone..
I thought everyone knew what a "brake" really entailed at this point. If someone asks for one, best to just breakup
Nope.
"Hey, my life partner..
i want to take a break from our relationship for about 2 hours"..
Just think about that..
If she asks for a break, that signals me that she wants to test drive someone else. To me "break" = "breakup."
There is no such thing as a "break" in a relationship. You are either together or you're not. This gray area is for people wanting out of a relationship or are unfit for the relationship.
Nope. The break means the relationship was suspended.
No such thing as a break... if it's a break it's a break up. Plain and simple.
There's no such thing is a "break". Either you're with that person or not. A "break" is like a breakup for pussies.
1. What a separation is to a marriage, a break is to a relationship.
2. What a divorce is to a marriage, a breakup is to a relationship.
No that's the whole point of a break... If your cheating well clearly the relationship still stands and your not on a break then.
It can be, yes. Often times people will take a break but set boundaries, if those are broken then it’s cheating.
Unless you both agreed not to sleep with other people during your break. Then it's not cheating.
So you would sleep with someone else without regrets if your SO isn't stating it specifically that it's fucked up to do just that?
Or I'm just taking it for granted that during a break it's messed up to sleep with someone else. Just break up completely lol
@chihuahua011 it's difficult to say because every situation is different.
I mean if you want to sleep with someone else then break up. No need to put wood on an already extinct fire. And there's no situation where it's okay to do that. Unless both of them agree on having sex with other people but then why get together in the first place
@chihuahua011 sometimes people take a break to "find themself " or figure out life. This can be months. A break doesn't automatically means you're going to get back together.
See that's why breaks are just useless in my opinion. Why go on a break if something isn't working? No amount of break can fix something that just don't work. And not to mention that breaks are one sided. One of them is in love while the other goes on a "break", "figure out life" while the other waits for it to end. It's never mutual.
Personally I've just broken up with girls that wanted a "break" because I rather take one big heartbreak than suffering for months waiting for them to "find themselves". Yeah no thanks ✌️
No, because during a break you are not committed to anyone. That is the purpose of a break, unless you both have agreed to "special terms" or something.
... then why not just break up? Why the deceit?
@Prof_Don What "deceit" are you referring to?
Break just means time away from each other not "time away to fuck someone else"
Yessirrrrrr
Doughnut speaks the truthhhhh 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
If you are on a "break" you and the person you were with have already broken up - so no it isn't cheating.
Of course not. What the hell do you think a break is?
Cheaters will always find an excuse to get away with it, however feelings can be as strong as a Diamond but reality trumps all the above.
Que Será, Será
psychologically, after a break up girls become desperate and wanted to sleep with anyone.
even married women whose husband stay abroad more prone to extramarrital sex.
It depend if you agree on the term no. If you don’t then no.
Yes because you haven’t ended it with the other person
How can a long term relationship have breaks? Isn’t that the opposite of what a LTR means?
Yes.
That's why I think taking breaks is just so stupid. Break up instead!!
It all depends on how long the break was, on a break for a couple of weeks, then yes it is.
If you have both agreed to take a break then no. It's basically saying "Let's see each other in the future but let's have time apart"
a break means you both have a promise to one another. a break up is when you're free to see other people
nice definition!)
Im ride or die, for me there is only one type of break when it comes to relationships, breakup
