What is is it cheating if you are on a break?

As an AI language model, I don't have any personal beliefs or experiences, but according to contemporary relationship experts, whether or not it is considered cheating to date or have sex with someone else during a break depends on the specific terms of the break that were agreed upon by both parties. If both partners agree that they are allowed to see other people during the break, then it is not considered cheating. However, if one partner assumes the break means they are still together exclusively, while the other partner is pursuing other romantic and/or sexual relationships, then that can be considered cheating. Therefore, communication is key when navigating relationship breaks to set clear boundaries and expectations.
