I'd say at least 75% that he is already cheating or seriously considering getting together with someone specific. But that's just my opinion; I could be wrong. -- What should you tell him? I don't think you should tell him anything - you should ask him a few things, like how long he anticipates this break to last, whether he thinks that you should date other poeple while on this break, just what made him want the break, how long he has been thinking about this break, etc. Perhaps you mean 'what should I tell him?' in the sense of whether or not you agree to the break. Well, you might just as well agree; if you don't and he is already seeing someone else, it won't have prevented the break-up not to have agreed to the 'break', and if you do agree, the break might or might not result in a break-up. You can't lose anything by agreeing, so you might as well be gracious about it. Don't lose all contact though, unless you have hard evidence that he has already moved on without you. If this is a genuine 'find myself' type of break and you still really value the relationship , you don't want to lose it by being aloof or distant when he turns back to you.

He may or may not be cheating, however this may be how he clears his conscience and frees himself to look around while he is on "his break".

i would not jump to any conclusions until you have proof that he is cheating. it just may be he needs a little time a space to think things through and maybe he has some issues on his mind that he needs to tend to and think about. it doesnt necessarily mean hes unhappy or running to someone new, it just might be space. Sometimes guys tend to ake it look as though they are cheating and we as women automatically assume that is what they are doing. He may be scared also that the relationship is moving too fast and doesnt know what to do exactly cause he can be scared of his emotions. i wouldnt overreact until you have physical proof of him cheating otherwise I would let nature take its course and what is meat to be will be. Take into consideration all of the options before accusing him of something that you have no proof of. i h

Telling somebody that you need to take a break does not necessarily mean you are cheating. It could, however, mean the person may be interested in meeting new people or is just not interested in any relationships at that time. If a person likes somebody very much, that person will do the utmost to spend as much time as possible with the person of interest. By telling somebody they need space or a break is indicative of a lack of interest in the relationship.
