The
act of taking a break in your current relationship on the pretense of "improving yourself" or "we need
space" to instead distant yourself from your partner to seek
better or newer romantic partners behind of a higher value to you, then going
back to your original partner when things
don't work out.
Used in situations where your romantic partner lies to you on needing a
break for self improvement reasons
but instead seeks other romantic partners.
the
act of doing this is called "making a lexi
move" / "pulling a lexi"
