If you take a break in your relationship, it’s very important to discuss with your partner the exact terms of the break. Some people interpret as a period of no contact, where you don’t interact but you’re still technically in an exclusive relationship. Others interpret it as a literal break from the relationship, where you’re technically single and no longer committed during that period. Never have a break without agreeing on the exact terms together beforehand.
@0112358 A break in a relationship is usually an attempt to give both people some time to think and process, or a desperate attempt to “reset” the relationship and get the chance at a new beginning of sorts (when the break is over). I don’t think breaks help very often, though.
That's pretty much what it means just a nice way of saying it so if the person you sleep with doesn't work out u can have a chance getting back with your partner , I think if you need a break from your relationship just end the relationship because all it is is a selfish move
What exactly is a break? If you look at it as a whole, it means a person is getting tired of the other and they need a "break" from the other person. Break up or stay together. Breaks are nonsense. To answer your question, it depends on what you both agreed on. If the other person sleeps with someone, then it seems to me that this "break" was more of an "excuse".
It depends. If he's telling you he wants a break and to see other people then you should think about it. He doesn't want to be in a relationship if he's saying that and he doesn't want to feel guilty for sleeping with another girl so he says you're on a break. If you two agree that it's OK to sleep with other people during the break then OK. Bit if one of you doesn't agree to it then you both need to reevaluate the relationship.
I've always thought that a break was another way of breaking up with someone. The slightly less harsher way because when things are not working but you still love them it's so hard to break up with them so you just let them down lightly using the 'break' card then eventually you'll just stop talking
there's no such thing as a "break" in relationship. You're either together or you're not, so I really don't see the point of a break. But since people do it, you're temporarily broken up so whatever that person does during this "Break", you can't get made about it. But honestly a break is just an excuse to go off and sleep/date someone else, people might as well break up if that's what they want to do.
Yeah, I don't see why not. If you just want some time apart to think, just say so, but if we're on a break from the relationship, I take it as the relationship is over for the time being. After the break, then you can decide whether or not the relationship can continue
No, because taking a break means we care about each other too much and are willing to make it work, so instead of breaking up, we'll take a break to figure out what went wrong, find ourselves individually, and try to make it better. If you cheat on the other person, then you already left them for good and detached emotionally from them.
Dont do it, the point of a break is to charge your romantic and sexual energy back up. In the small chance i would be in a relationship with someone on a break and she where to have sex while still technically in a relationship i wouldn't hold much value in her monogamy and in such a fragile state it would likely give the final blow to dump you.
No. Your on a break, that means your still in a relationship, you still expect to come back to it so sleeping with some one while on a "break" is cheating. Personally I find the entire concept to be idiotic, if you stop being together for a time your problems are not suddenly going to vanish. Its like going on vacation so you don't have to take out the trash, it doesn't matter how long you leave its still going to be their when you get back.
I don't think it's okay evening they initiated the break. That also depends on how long the break is and if it was a nasty fight leading up to it too. If it seemed more like a break up I'd go for it but if it's a short mutual break (less than a month) I wouldn't sleep with someone else.
If I take a 'break' and she sleeps with someone else, I would never even so much as consider showing her any kind of physical affection whatsoever, EVER again. If you think that is mean or unfair, fuck you, I don't give a shit what you think. If your break includes sleeping around, then don't call it a fucking break, call it what it is RELATIONSHIP TERMINATED
This is a tricky question. I would be mad if the other person slept with someone else, and won't take them back. But at the same time I would feel like I should be able to do what I want because I am on a break. So breaks don't make sense, in my opinion.
No to me it's not not okay. Simply cause that is not the purpose of a break. But if he goes and sleeps with someone else, then it clearly says it all, that's what he was waiting for. An opportunity. And that will automatically turn our little break into a real break up.
Thats all "breaks" really are and its why I don't take them. Its an excuse for her to be a whore within the confines of "rules" we've established sort of likr the concept of open relationships. If we break up thats it we are over I am going to just assume you fucked a new guy the next day because its likely you did...
I agreeee but this about a guy obvs cause I’m a girl! I’d never ever take a break if someone’s suggesting a break there basically suggesting “I’m going to go sleep with others then when I’m done I’ll come back to you “ ... as soon as the word break came out of his mouth I’d tell him “sorry that’s not happening it’s over”
Personally I see no points in breaks, to me it's always a sign that relationship is ready to end. But if some people think a break might help them work on their relationship, then sleeping with another person certainly isn't a way to do it. And Ross was an ass.
Honestly if we're trying to work our relationship out by taking a break that's cheating if you were to sleep with another person. So no I personally wouldn't do it.
If my man and I ever took a break it wouldn't matter who we slept with, I wouldn't be going back. If we need a break from each other to be happy together, we shouldn't be together.
Yes. You're either together or you've broken up. There is "break" except for a break up. If one of you claims he or she wants to go on a "break", it means you're no longer together. In which case, fuck whoever you want. If you don't want your partner fucking other people, then don't go on a "break".

The first being based on the idea that he relationship will improve by itself if you don’t see or talk to each other?

@Soph345 yeah im not ok with it
Anyone who is is strange if you ask me your literally asking for trouble.

A woman can fuck anyone she wants, any time she wants, anywhere she wants. Just ask them!
Oh, and a 'break' never works. If you can't make it work together you can't make it work apart. pfft.
Yes. You're either together or you've broken up. There is "break" except for a break up. If one of you claims he or she wants to go on a "break", it means you're no longer together. In which case, fuck whoever you want. If you don't want your partner fucking other people, then don't go on a "break".
