what you can do with other people dureing a break is up to you and your partner, if either of you want there to be boundaries you should discuss it with one another and decide what you both would be happy to do. In some cases a break is a good thing if things get overwhelming and people can get confused about their feelings it gives people space and time to figure it out, and could save alot of pain if you broke up at a later time. If you do stay together after the break though, you'll know its meant to be.

if ur sig. other is asking or wanting a break it means that he is unsure if he wants to be with u and seeing or spending time away and with other people will help let him know if u too are meant for eachother.
really if he needs a break to know this, then its not meant to be. cuz when u know, u just know

From what I've gathered "breaks" fall in two major categories --
one is what I think of as the best kind of break, where the guy
is just overwhelmed - with job, family, stress, YOU, etc., and wants
some space to think things through. Slow the pace down.
The second kind is kind of a euphemism for a "break up" where he wants to sleep with someone else, but is trying to break it to you gently.
I think there are shades of gray here, too.....
If you want to get through this sanely, and hope for him to come back,
don't get involved with someone else. That would be really complicated
if he was just confused, and the new person fell head over heels for you!
But if you meet people easily, and you want to look around, it's
ok if you communicate with your guy & agree on what you mean.

This is because a "break" could mean any thing.
Sometimes people sleep with other people when they are on a break, they rationalise it as being OK, whereas the other person is obviously devastated.
Why do you need a break? Is it likely to fix the problems you have with your relationship? If one of you has asked for a break then you must have doubts about the relationship so there would obviously be a temptation to do something intimate with someone else. So, again, I must say it is something you have to both agree together.

A break is a short seperation period between you and a partner. If you wanted to see someone else in this time you would be free to do so as you are seperated.
