Gena Bullock agony auntUnless you are married........and don't have a signed settlement agreement, NO. Otherwise, the both of you are free to see who you want when you want after you've parted ways.

One may feel remorse (maybe you?) and want to consider getting back together, but you should have thought about that before breaking it off to begin with.

No honey. Cheating is when he's with someone else at the same time as you. You weren't with him, so it can't be classed as cheating really. All it proves is that it didn't take long for him to get over you! If you're thinking of getting back with this guy, think long and hard. He doesn't seem to be too overwhelmed with love, to say the least.

If you are split up you have no emotional claim on each other and so if either of you sees another person, you are not cheating. If he saw someone else while you were split up then you cannot have a go at him though of course if you start to talk about getting back together it should factor into your thinking but even then you cannot have a go at him over it.

hlskitten agony auntHi

No i dont think it is. Although i always question the speed in which people 'move on' when they have split with someone. I think that usually speaks volumes. But if you have split, even if they go out that night and sleep with someone else, they aren't technically cheating.

Not cheating, because split, break up, means essentually divorced from each other, single, free to move on.

Now if you both took a break to air out, this still may not be cheating, but it sure doesn't help in the trust category. This would indicate to me at least, that when they go running from a situation that become tough, they will find someone else for comfort, and that doesn't make a very good partner.
