Cheating Defined
...
|
Anything from have a sex to cyber/phone sex, to dating to cuddleing with some one.
|
I would say any physical contact that goes beyond what you'd do with a friend -- kissing or more. Beyond that, I think that there could be emotional cheating, but I'm not sure how I'd define that.
Not to get off on too much of a tangent, but do people actually have cybersex or phone sex? |
There is definitely emotional cheating. In my last relationship, I was worried that there was something physical going on with my man and someone else but then I started to get the feeling that it was more emotional than anything else and I was losing him in that respect. There is a change in the relationship that, if you're paying attention, you can see.
If I know there's chance that you're attracted to a particular person, anything is cheating - physical or emotional. I'm strict too in that I consider viewing pornography to be mental cheating. |
Allowing anyone who you may or may not be, but could eventually be, sexually interested in become closer to you than your your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner - emotionally or physically.

My EX ran into his Ex girlfriend one Friday night and slept with her while I was out of town for the weekend. He did promptly break up with me as soon as I woke up on Monday morning. He tried to say it wasn't cheating, but I disagree. He couldn't keep his pants on for a day or two until he broke up with me. Thats cheating.
I think Valkyrie has a pretty good description. |
I also think anything over a hug. I may give him a chance to redeem himself if it was just a kiss, but chances of it only being a kiss, are slim. If you have to kiss someone else you obviously arent interested in the other person anymore.
|
Ditto to Valkyrie's def.

When having FRIENDS (of opp sex) is some sorta CRIME it's time to say "puhleese".
@ "emotional cheating" : hahahahahahaha. Oh please.
I could expand upon that but, really, puhleese. |
It's common sense and doesn't need to be defined.

'Emotional Cheating' is a nonsensical invention of American so-called relship experts
If you are unwilling/unable to bond with or ever open up to people generally, bar with one person; I would probably call that a possible psychological problem.

Mental & emotional cheating exists, but not in the definition most of you are "making fun of." Even if there is no phsyical contact between two human beings he/she can still be cheating because falling in & out love entails more than just a physical relationship, but a mental & emotional relationship too.

I have to disagree with that statement. I cheated once on someone that I loved very much. I kissed another guy. Looking back on it I realized later on that I had deeper emotional issues that I hadn't dealt with that led me to cheat. In no way did it mean that I wasn't in love with my boyfriend. In general, I think cheating is, a lot of times, a case by case basis. It's hard to come up with one general definition that applies to everyone and eveyr relationship. |
