If you've been with someone for a long time, but then one day you decide to take a break from eachother for a variety of reasons, and you have established that seeing other people for a little while is OK, then is it OK to sleep with other people?
Let's hear your thoughts!

This question reminds me of that Friends episode..."We were ON a break!!"
I think it depends on the reason for the breather, but I'm leaning towards no. Seeing someone is one thing but sleeping with them is another. This new person or the person not doing any sleeping around could get hurt feelings even though rules were established.

I agree with Amandabobanda,,, Even though you agree on the terms when dating other people while bein on a break,,, feeling and emotions do develope if you sleep with other people,,, take the advice from someone who has accidentally hurt 2 other gils while on a break with someone. I have changed and found my true love though! :D

Just trying to get y'all talking!
I'm going to start some more trouble...
BUT, before I do that...
YES! There are feelings involved here. To you REALLY move on or do you not. Should you just take advantage of the time off and go nuts or not. Generally speaking, if one or the other DOES start messing around like that, someone will get hurt. It is inevitable. My answer would be no, unless you knew for sure, in your heart, that you don't want to get back together.
Having some time apart often allows you to find out for yourself, just how strong the relationship is, and if you really could see yourself, spending the rest of your life together with the other person.

Ok, for spending time apart to figure out where you stand I think that the person should:
1. Be with friends to clear their head.
2. If you get busy with someone else, you might as well drop the
relationship.
3. Or be a guest on Change of Heart and see what ensues.

This thread has been split and moved to the Television forum! (The TV Part that is)
You need to really look at the truth about why you need a break? Sleeping with someone else is wrong unless the two of you are into each other and there are on strings attached. It’s not nice to get hurt, so way hurt others? :o

WE WERE ON A BREAK!!! hehehe
I think it really depends on what you mean by break. did you actually break up, or did you just say you need a little time to yourself?

In my expirience a "break" usually means some adjustment time before the break up. You know some time to get slowly accustomed to the single life again while still having someone to fall back on if need be.
