I do.
But I have to agree that it is to be discussed between the couple. For instance, there should be an understanding where each person is with friends of the opposite sex. Some may not mind if their significant other has female friends and vice versa (usually if this is a friend he/she has had for a while...don't be makin' no NEW friends...shooot!)
But I think that if there is an emotional bond then it's cheating. If say, I eat lunch with so and so everyday and it gets to the point where I am looking forward to that lunch, and if so an so is absent from work that day, thereby forfeiting our lunch, then I am pissed, and now I am trying to look really cute on the days I eat lunch with so and so and I tell so and so my deepest wishes, dreams, goals, and desires...then I am sorry, IT IS CHEATING!!!
I believe that your mate should be your best friend. I tell my boyfriend EVERYTHING...well..almost everything. But I wouldn't tell some other man something that I wouldn't tell him or share things with someone else that he doesn't know.Especially any problems that we are having because that just opens up the flood gates.
Sorry so long. My boyfriend and I just had this discussion a couple of days ago. It's in the new Essence.
