If you're on a "break" with someone is it okay to fool around with other people?

Question

My boyfriend and I are on a "break" and I want to kiss this other guy, should I completely break up with my boyfriend before I do any of that? Please no rude comments, I just want a simple answer.

Answer 1

Technically, yes, you can kiss the other guy, because otherwise you're being faithful to a relationship that doesn't exist right now. But expect it to cause difficulties when you get back with your boyfriend. What we say is OK doesn't always sit well in our hearts.

Answer 2

If it's okay for him to do it, it's okay for you to do it.

So just decide for yourself: if he kisses another girl, will you hold it against him?  If not, then go ahead and kiss other guys.  If you would be upset, then the same thing applies to you.

Answer 3

I would think it depends on the terms of the "break."  It is to get a break from each other? If so, I would think you have the right to kiss whoever you want to.

Answer 4

I say that don't get angry if he doesn't want to get back with you

Answer 5

I myself am against treating dating relationships as if they were marriages, so I'd say you're free to do what you want, break or no break.  But if anything you're doing feels either sneaky or cruel, than it's probably something you shouldn't do.

Answer 6

Not if you want to have any kind of chance making things work with our boyfriend.It sounds like you don't want to be in a relationship right now since you WANT to kiss another guy.think about it long and hard and figure out if kissing this other guy is worth losing your boyfriend forever.Follow your heart and you will know what to do.Ask yourself how you would feel if he kissed another woman.There is your answer really.Good luck :)

Answer 7

Are you ok with your boyfriend kissing some other girls while you're on "break"?  Are you ok with him knowing that you are?  I suggest figuring out what you want before doing anything, and making the break permanent if you decide/before you decide to fool around with anyone else.

Answer 8

well was was discussed about the break??? I think this should come from your breaking boyfriend

if he don't think it's cool to kiss on a break then don't do it!

communication no matter how akward will save drama later!!

Answer 9

I remember this on friends! funny

but yea i would break up before doing so. Break isnt really broken up ya know. that could cause hellah issues

Answer 10

IN YOUR ADDITIONAL QUESTION PART.. YOU ANSWER YOUR OWN QUESTION MA... IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DONT LIKE BEING TIED DOWN.. SO SET YOURSELF FREE..

OH, AND THIS BREAK THING? DO PEOPLE EVEN DO THIS PAST 7TH GRADE. I DIDN'T KNOW WE CAN DO THIS AFTER WE PASSED 14YRS OLD.

Answer 11

I was in this same exact situation. My girlfriend wanted a break so I messed around with this other girl. Well to make a long story short, she found out and totally flipped. I told her we weren't technically together. But I guess if you don't want to "cheat" then break up. But if it's just going to be something that won't get out the just say to yourself, "we aren't technically together." Good Luck.

Answer 12

ya sure y not!

Answer 13

Isn't the whole idea of a "break" to date other people?  If it makes you uncomfortable, just tell him it is completely over.

Answer 14

It is not okay.  A break implies that you want some space or some time to figure out where the relationship is going.  If you want to get back together then kissing someone else is only going to complicate matters.  If you are wanting to "have fun" then you need to break up with your boyfriend first because you are not really serious about making it work with this one guy.  Good luck.
