Is it considered cheating if...?
If a couple splits up to have some space and contemplate their relationship and one of them sleeps with someone else is it considered cheating?
It's more of a "separation" than a "break up"

Have you two person on relation? One of my friend love her boyfriend so much but her boyfriend did not ever saying that they were in relation. Now the girl even not dared to friend with the one he love. Please make sure of your relationship before arguing anything. I can surely he will not going to sleep with someone else. If he saying this maybe he is finding a way to break with you and make your heart break.

Taking a break is different for everyone. To me, it's a break up. You have to talk with your partner and say or get the go sign for what you're both ok with.
Are you just taking a breather and are gonna get back together. Or are you taking a break to outright explore other options.
So, your partner may see it as cheating. So, you better both discuss things the second a break is called.

It doesn't seem like the way to have some space while contemplating their relationship

Ah the good ol' "...But we were on a break!"
ALWAYS make sure each partner knows the rules when on a break. For some it means seeing other people and for others it's alone time to reflect.
Ask your partner if he plans on seeing other people, if he says no that means you seeing other people would be considered cheating!

Unless it's flagged down as okay.. Then okay, but if it's to clear thoughts and get a breather, without committing to anything.. That's a no no.. Are u okay with him/ or her sleeping with someone else?? Is it worth it

Debatable. If you are split then "no". But, depends on what the intentions are (split for time out to think or to test the water?). Was the person you slept with a test (one night fling) or more?

Hmmm. I think it is. Would you equate sleeping with someone to having space for contemplation? I don't think so. :(

anything that has to be lied about or concealed is cheating. in other words, if this was unacceptable to one person and the other knew it, then yes.

No. That's "time off sex." It can screw things up, or it might help get you back together. I wouldn't tell the other person about it unless they directly ask.
