People reading this have to realize that he didn't actually cheated. What is cheating? Cheating is when you lie about loving someone else while you're with someone. Cheating is when you go behind your SO's back and have sex/make love to another person.

OP didn't really cheat. He went on a vacation, met someone new, that's all. If he comes clean right away, there is no guilt or any wrongdoing. As long as he's honest about his feelings, and he tells her right away that he wants to break up because he met someone new, it's all fair game. He didn't lie, he didn't cheat, period.

And considering that this is only a year relationship, it's possible and very likely that either one of them can meet someone new.
