What Constitutes As Cheating??

[aleus]

I was just wondering what you all think constitutes as cheating on your partner. I've had a lot of experience with unfaithful partners, and to be honest I think that cheating on the person you are with is the second worst thing you can ever do to another person, no matter what stage of a relationship you're in. I've done it once but I was a seriously messed up kid at the time. No excuse I know. I've never regretted anything more in my entire life. I would never let it happen again no matter what the temptation. But to me it's like there is this blurry line dividing the definition of what cheating is and what it is not. I'm just wondering what your views are purely out of curiousity.

For me, I would define cheating as any sexual interaction with a person who is not your partner. On its lowest level I would classify kissing as unfaithful. Not like a friendly peek on the cheek, but full out kissing or just kissing in a sexually provocative manner. I would also say hugging too, again not a friendly hug but more clinging on to a person and exploring someones body with their hands. Basically anything that has sexual intent.

That's just my opinion but I would love to hear what all you out there would define cheating as. Let me know,

Thanks.

Really, I think people will always having sexual desires on someone wother than their partner, though it always up to the actions and choices of the person. Though, I fully agree with your definition of cheating.

To put it in one statement, could you say, "Cheating is any action driven by sexual intent on any person other than your partner."?

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

I also agree with your definition Aleus, sounds right to me.

[NextToNormal]

i do agree, but i would also have to say that its anything that is not just friendly in nature towards some one that is not your partner...whether it would lead to anything sexual or not...including flirting sometimes.

Cheating is discretionary. It depends on the person, really. Some people have serious problems with flirting, some people don't care. Everyone's different.

I think its cheating when you feel guilty about something, you do something that you wouldn't want your partner to find out about, or you deliberate if what you did was cheating or not.

completely and totally agree with this. if you feel the guilt or wouldn't feel comfortable telling her/him about something, then in your heart you have cheated.

[ScotsGirl]

There is definitely a lot of grey area when it comes to cheating. I think most of the time it depends on the situation, the people and the act (if any).

CHEATING IS LYING

However, I disagree with this. Cheating can involve lying, but it isn't lying itself.

if a person does anything sexual, eg more than a friendly one(hug, kiss), thats cheating, but i would never cheat

[Lifesreject]

I would consider a proper kiss to be cheating. I've been cheated on before and i no what its like. It hurts like hell. But then again i've also done things with people who were cheatin on there gf so that probably makes me as bad.

That was an old thread.

But I guess anything past a friendship would be cheating if you are already with someone.

[dmeek7]

basicly...kissing, touching(innapropriate places), oral, and sex........anything from hugging on down should be alright

[just-me]

I CAN NOT STAND CHEATING.
its the one thing i totaly HATE.
a kiss or more.
unless the partner agrees before hand that the partner can do it, in some sercamstances.
flirting is ok, its only natural.

ONE TIP TO CHEATERS. DONT TELL YOUR GF/BF BEST FRIENDS THAT YOUR CHEATING ON THEM.

not clever.

[Synthslave]

cheating?sex with someone else than me.
