However once they have been together a long time if they want to see other people as they begin to question the relationship they may do so without breaking up… “We are on a brake [from monogomy]” is usually how i hear it described and it seems to be somewhat common.

Ah okay, I see your point now. Yes, this is generally true. It’s a way to end the relationship without guaranteeing that the relationship will not resume at a later date. But, if you’re “on a break”, you’re not dating nor in the relationship anymore. Many times, couples go on a break and never leave that state, starting other relationships with new people and not talking to each other ever again.
