I feel a date should be pre-determined. Two weeks, four weeks or whatever. That is plenty of time to do lots of thinking and doesn't leave either party hanging.
I agree! He said "a couple of weeks" which seems vague. Maybe that means two weeks, or maybe not. People often uses the word "couple" in ways which don't mean "two".
I can't speak to someone else's state of mind, but my understanding is that the other man is someone she knew for a while as friends. Probably he was always attracted to her but I don't know that for sure. I would also guess that she was sending put sexual signals to him once the break happened, but again I don't know for sure.
Well lets be honest here. As a woman, I am aware that all of my male so-called friends want to bang me. This is the case for most women. I am quite sure i can scroll through my phone contacts and get laid in 20 minutes. That's just reality, I don't think it is a negative.
Maybe guys should consider this before instituting a break? Again he is the one who told her he wanted a break.
ive seen many relationships take breaks, evaluate where they are , etc.
and if one partner dates in this time,,then the other has there answer where they stand,,,its done.

Some of you may recall this scenario from Friends.
True story though: a friend of mine is on a break from her boyfriend thanks to an argument they had. He is the one who said, "I think we need to take a break for a couple of weeks." Two days later, she spent the night with someone else.
Is this cheating? (I say no.) I wonder whether we have differing opinions based on gender, hence the poll.
And if they get back together, should she fess up? I say no. I say take it to the grave.
No, I don't think it's cheating, but I would be extremely upset and possibly not forgive the person. The "break," in my opinion, is a time when both parties are thinking about whether the relationship should continue. Sleeping with someone else indicates that a person is moving on and has therefore made a choice. That might not be the case. Maybe she regrets it and wants to get back together. If they do recommit, yes, take it to the grave.
You know, I wonder if I do feel that this is cheating. I would be hurt, I know.
How long should she wait for the break to resolve itself by becoming a permanent break up or reconciling?
Well, the bf said two weeks, so I'd put two weeks plus a day as the maximum. If her intention is to break up, then a day would suffice, but I'd have waited a week or longer before hooking up.
