But then I remembered that he called her and heard Mark at her apartment... and although he got it wrong... at the time HE fully believed that she was taking the "break" thing as an opportunity to have sex with Mark... so his mistake is maybe justifiable from his perspective, if not overall... ... at the time that it happened, he really believed that he was only doing the same thing that she was.

...I think the thing was..(..and probably over thinking a bit too deeply..)...the break was never defined, was it...I mean, ‘rules’ as it were in a relationship when not on a break are important boundaries that each would or should know because they’ve been mutually established...and a ‘break’ is still remaining being in a relationship but having a little time out as it were, a break isn’t an ending of anything, it’s just the possibility of leading to an ending...actually, it’s like a playtime at school.....ok, you’re getting on my nerves now so you’re going to have some rime out, a little break from that silly behaviour..but it’s still playtime though, I mean it’s not the end of playtime..actually, I’m completely confusing myself now... I can’t even recall what the question was and what your OP said...
