I'm sure this has been discussed a lot before but I don't care!

I know for a fact that there was no break up till she found out he cheated."I'm glad you called" and trying to hide and explain Mark's presence is definitly not a break up. And "Ok, i get it" isn't a break up. He should have continued with" we're done" or "i'm done with you" in order for it to be a break up. There was no break up, he cheated.Period.

No, you don't. She told Monica in the morning that they broke up. She said on Ross' machine that she didn't want to get back together over the phone. So, she's saying they were broken up. Later on, Gunther tells her about what happened with Chloe and now suddenly Ross cheated. Rachel knew full well her break was a breakup. She states it several times before knowing what happened with Chloe.
After all these years of people pointing this out to you, it's pathetic that you still fight the facts that the show has given you and make up stuff.

Neither Ross nor Rachel agree with you. They both knew that they were broken up.
Rachel admitted it the next day:
Ross
: Look, I didnt think there was a relationship to jeopardize. I thought we were broken up.
Rachel
: We were on a break!
Ross
: That, for all I knew would, could last forever. That to me is
a break-up.
Rachel
:
You think youre gonna get out of this on a technicality?
Ross
: Look, Im not trying to get out of anything, okay. I thought our relationship was dead!
Ross said that they were broken up. Rachel does not argue about it; she describes being broken up as a "technicality."
Why do you think your understanding is better than that of Ross and Rachel? -

Then what difference does it make whether Mark was in Rachel's apartment or not? I mean she and Ross were broken up after all. She could be with Mark all she wanted.

People dump on immy, myself up on occasion included, but it is in situations such as this one that she shows her true worth.
If the OP genuinely wants to talk about break or no break, you can be sure that immy, if no one else, will talk with him about it. -

For sure! If people want to keep discussing it, go for it. I can't discuss it anymore, so thought I'd go with a little comedy relief for myself haha (It's actually a Seinfeld quote, but it was late so I forgot to put quotation marks around it)

I don't. I just find it exasperating that quite a few people still argue about it when both Ross and Rachel knew that they were broken up at the time.
That we know, I think, for sure. What there is no certainty about is what the hell it means to be on a "break." Different people have very different interpretations, and there simply isn't a definitive one. There is no agreement about what the rules are, so arguing about that is arguing about something that doesn't have any solution.
If Ross had interpreted the situation as a probably temporary break, he would never have gotten in bed with Chloe. He would never argue that if you are on a "break" that may be temporary that you have the right to have sex with someone else.

A relationship doesn't just abruptly come to an end any more so than it instantly comes into being on the first date. Most people acknowledge this without looking for technicalities or loop holes (presumably because they don't watch friends).
If you ended a relationship and then discovered that the person you thought loved you was fcking someone else three hours later, I can assure you;- You'd feel cheated on.
- You'd question whether you really knew this person at all.
And you'd respond to the excuse "
but we were broken up
" with utter disdain.
