Ok if a guy and a girl are "on a break" is it then wrong for the girl to get off with another guy (Incidentally the new guy is the old guys best friend).

Help me out!

A yes and a no answer to this,

Yes its ok for the girl to be getting off with another guy, as the idea with a break will usually mean doing whatever to try and find out what they want from the relationship

But No its not ok for the guys best friend to be getting involved, as its just wrong for him to be getting involved anyway.

Yes, it's OK to see someone else.

You might be on dodgy ground with the ex's mate - esepcially if you;re 'on a break' rather than no longer in a relationship at all.

Agree with every one else. If you're 'on a break' then you're free to see other people. However getting together with his best friend is not a good idea.

How do you personally feel about it?
Did she ask you for advice or does the situation worry you?
Reply 13
Not it just worries me. I can tell what the old guy is gonna feel like, and I think it's over for them forever pretty much. It just shouldn't end this way.

it depends if they agreed not to see other people or not whilst on a break. you'd think they'd have discussed this matter really...

No, that's the purpose of a break - a break from the relationship. If you're on a break, getting off with someone else is ok, though you want to consider your partners feelings, such as not doing it in front of them. Which leads me onto:

Then it's wrong. You've just broken up a friendship,as well as probably turned a break into a break-up. Common decency tends to suggest thinking of the other person. Would you see it the same if your boyfriend, while on a break, got off with another girl, compared to getting off with your best friend? It shows an extreme lack of respect for the relationship IMHO.
