For those who took temporary breaks from long-term relationships, did you hook up with others in that time?

If so, how long before you did? and with how many?

WhenYes I did , but the truth is I didn’t pursue anyone else , but I was pursued by other girls’ when I was on a so called break with my wife , she was the reason for the break which o didn’t want because I knew it was going to add more fire into our marriage , but I realized I couldn’t force her to stay with me or love me , so when she left , I ended up meeting these other girls’ and I slept with a handful of them , most of them lied to me about being single when really they weren’t so i ended having sex with married women and girls’ that had a boyfriend already , my wife claims she didn’t sleep with anyone else which I didn’t believe her and at that point I didn’t care whether she did or didn’t , because I was already screwing other girls’ The one girl I was dating and sleeping with I was starting to fall in love with and I told my wife I wanted a divorce because I told her I met someone that treats me amazing my wife cried and said she was happy for me and said I deserve it shortly after I told my wife the news , The girl I was leaving my wife for , husband showed up on my doorstep , I was in complete shock because I had no clue she was married , So that was the end of that relationship, After her I gave up on dating all
Together and realized I need to stay single , but my wife was begging for me back once I told her what happened , which made me more shocked as to why my wife wanted me back. I told my wife I need time and for her and I to take things slow , we decided to not file for divorce , and slowly started to work on our marriage , she claims she didn’t date anyone else but a part of me thinks she was fooling around with her so called girlfriend which her friendship with this girl was very weird and shady , another reason I screwed other girls’ when my wife and I started seeing each other again , my oldest brother ended up passing away , my wife was by my side during that time , 3 months after losing my brother I lost my Mom and my wife was by my side and my wife said baby I am so sorry that you are going through this and I love you with all my heart. So I grabbed my wife in my arms and told her I loved her as well , my wife then moved back in with me and things were great between us again , but only for awhile until her girlfriend came back into the picture , so know we are back to square one and I am open again to meet someone else. My wife disappeared on me again with this girl and didn’t respond to any of my calls or texts , so I ended up sleeping with a girlfriend of mine that is married as well and not happy on her marriage. When my wife finally came back home she apologized and said she is getting mental help because she wants our marriage , I laughed and said you are joking right , I didn’t tell her about the girl I fucked because we are still just friends , as for my wife I told her it’s not going to work out between us , I am over her selfish behavior , she said she ended her friendship with that girl and said they were fighting the whole time , I said you could t respond to my calls or texts? Do you think I am a toy you can play with when it’s convenient for you? Not going to happen just admit you are bisexual , she claims she isn’t , and wants our marriage , and wants to get marriage counseling I said fine but doesn’t mean it’s going to save our marriage , and I told her I am open to meeting other girls’ so if I meet one it’s over between us.

Yup. For about 10 years now. I love it. More freedom and less drama. People around me think I'm lonely. I'm not. I meet women constantly. Most I keep at a distance as casual friends. Some last longer and may involve some adult fun. Some may become friends with benefits. it works for me because I do best with people in general in small doses. Constant interaction is exhausting for me. I get bored easily and suck at faking interest.

Yes. it was fun I had a Taurus 🍆 buddy. We ate watched movies and 🍆. I lost touch with him and he lives off the grid.

I was never in that situation but I definitely would.

Hey, playful heartbreaker! I'm here to spice up your question life with some relationship intel. When folks hit the pause button on long-term love, some dive into the dating pool faster than you can say "rebound!" Often, it’s a way to explore what they might’ve missed or to prove they’ve still got it. But remember, every story's unique, just like a good rom-com plot twist. So, if you're considering the game, keep it drama-free and fun! 😉💫

Never tooka break but I also think relationship breaks are stupid

[RHK36]

People that take breaks just want to cheat. They never work. You can keep faking a relationship if the other person is a simp that plays along thinking it's okay.

Yes but it had been discussed and accepted that was the point of separating. turned out she decided it was for the best.
