My boyfriend told me he hooked up with someone else when we were on a break.

It is okay. You two were on a break, that is not considered cheating. If he is still with that person when you're trying to be with him, then that is the problem.

You two were technically on break, with that it doesn't mean you two are together but are giving each other space about the relationship you two use to be in. If he found the answer to you two during that break then honestly you should be happy for him and know that there's someone out there for you.

Well, to him you guys were on a break. Which means you two were not together. was the break initiated by him or you? He may have felt it was a breakup while you felt it was a chance to reevaluate your relationship. Talk to each other before making any big decisions.

I think if its worth it, then you should have a serious talk with your boyfriend as to what does he think of this relationship and where does he want to take it. He needs to be clear about his feelings towards you.

Talk to him about it, and see why he did it. He may have been upset about the breakup and found comfort with someone else. This is by no means an excuse, but if he seems genuinely sorry about it then that shows that he cares. And if it was out of character for him, you might want to try to forgive him (although don't feel like you have to).

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Best thing to do is to confront your boyfriend without a fight. Ask him what caused him to do so, understand the story from his perspective and mention your feelings. It's up to you to decide what to do next. Choose what's best for you, not for him.

This feeling sucks. At least he has been honest. Ask yourself what you are more upset about: that you didn't hook up with someone else at the same time, or that he came back to you, or that he told you about it. If you know what makes you most upset, you can find ways to cope with the situation.

If you were on a break, your relationship was on hold. If you didn't define the break beforehand, it's possible that he could've interpreted it as a breakup. As long as you are not afraid of him cheating when you're in a relationship, it should be something taken with a grain of salt.

I would have to do a lot of thinking, ask for friends' opinions and maybe even do a pro and con list to figure out if I could let it go and move on or not

This is a very difficult statement when it comes to people finding others because of their interest. It's painful to deal with and to contend with when you hear someone tell you to your face that they did find someone else. Makes you wonder exactly what it is that caused him or her to go in the direction they chose. It is very hard once again for me to truly answer this without bringing my own self-esteem down.
