Temporary break up / break

To cut a long story short, me and my partner at the time had been together 4-5 years but around half way through our relationship we decided to take a break because we were always at each others necks due to a handful of things tied along with other difficulties, we had a really shit year. We both agreed to have some space etc (her idea more than mine) which actually done us good but with having time to think about it have any other women on here agreed to a short break and proceeded with another guy within the time?

Reason i ask is because i knew my partner was but i decided i didnt want to strain us anymore as we were back together

Ok.

I've never been in that situation.

Yes I have. That's only because in my experience a break is really the end of a relationship. Well, that's how it's played out for me. I don't want to be sitting around waiting for any person to decide they want to be with me - they do or they don't.

Does it bother you that she has OP?

OP, you both were single in that break.

People deal with things differently.

Do you feel that she cheated on you?

Sounds like a story where somebody wanted to get laid without any guilt or come back.

Just my pennies worth

OP unfortunately it sounds like she already had eyes on the other person and used the opportunity of a break to go have fun without guilt. What I think you need to establish is if she really is happy to be back together with you or still seeing him on the sly. Sorry, I’m a suspicious person…

Why don’t you ask her?

I’m sure I’ve seen this scenario on a tv show; “we were on a break”!

Seriously though, if you can park the thought and move on, do so.

I suspect as you have asked the question this is not an option. In that case you gotta have the discussion and get it out in the open otherwise it’s going to eat away at you.

Just ask.

And if you take breaks in the future, clarify the terms beforehand so you're both working on equal boundaries instead of not knowing what is and isn't acceptable and communicable

I had a short break with my first long time partner - it was two weeks. I have read that for a break to be effective it is best for it to be 6 months or so.

There was no meeting anybody else. It was a break to clarify how we felt about each other and a breathing space. Adding anyone else into the mix would have defeated the object really.

It was a horrible experience and I can say I wouldn’t have a break again. In my experience it just delayed the inevitable and gave him false hope.
