In my opinion, all questionable situations, talks, and relations with another woman after the woman I'm dating made it clear she wants to be exclusive, figures as cheating. So in those situations I start to sensibly curtail communications and friendships with other women.
I'm doing well thank you for asking! I have had a bit of problems and I'll be using a walking cane for a while, but I'm alright. How are you? I hope you are doing alright and that everything is going alright for you!
I would say Lies , even though you are just dating and nothing set in stone , you should still be honest with the person you are dating if they ask you if you are seeing anyone else or if you are having sex with anyone else , if you say No to those things and then they find out you were with someone else then yes you would be consider a cheater for lying , so it’s best to just be honest and allow the person asking to decide if they want to waste their time with you or not. Me personally respects honestly over lying , if I meet a girl and she tells me she is just dating and doesn’t want to rush into anything , I respect that because iit keeps both of us on the same page if she is dating other guys then that’s fine cuz it pretty much let’s me know that it’s ok if I date other girls and to keep my options opened , it’s only cheating if the person says they aren’t seeing anyone else then you find them with someone else , so why it’s best just to be honest with each other, even if you aren’t seeing anyone else just be honest about it. People that lie just dig their own grave, Cuz just goes to show they are a selfish person and only really thinking about themselves. I dated a girl once that I really liked and she was upfront with me that she didn’t want to race into a relationship and wanted to date other Guys cuz she just got out of a long term relationship , I was fine with it even though I didn’t have really any intentions on dating anyone else but I told her I am talking to other girls , yes i was a little jealous but I respected her honesty , I called her 1 night to see if she wanted to get together and she said she couldn’t cuz she was going on a date with another guy , I was jealous but I kept it to myself and said ok well have fun and give me a call sometime when you are free , so I hung up and thought to myself I guess she doesn’t like me like I like her so I ended up calling another girl that I liked and asked her to go out and she said sure. So I ended up going out with this other girl even though I was thinking of the other girl pretty much the whole time thinking on what is happening on her date with that other guy , I kept telling myself just have fun don’t think about her I couldn’t be mad cuz she was honest with me , so I ended up taking this other girl back to my house and ended up having sex with her while my phone was ringing the whole time and I ignored it , after sex I checked my phone to find out it was the other girl , I walked in the other room and called her back and said what’s up , I was thinking something bad happened from the way she was blowing up my phone she said I canceled that date with the other guy and only want to be with you , I was like ummmm well I am going to have to call you back later Cuz I am with someone else right now , I could hear the jealousy in her voice but I thought to bad I am not your convenience. I ended up taking the other girl home and when I got back home I called her back to talk , , she was upset with me and I said well you really can’t be , you chose to go on a date with another Guy So I decided to go on a date with another girl , Why do Girl’s act like a guy can be her convenience? Why I don’t give myself 100 percent to girls that treat me like a convenience, if she is going to treat me like one ten I am going To treat her like one is that way I look at it
If it's okay for your partner to do it then it's ok for you. If you can accept your partner sleeping with someone else and your partner knows this then it's ok for you. Even if that someone is in your social circle, maybe a good friend. IMHO that is not a relationship. It's friends with benefits or a booty call thing. If this is how you feel then you really need to make sure that your partner understands this.
Are you friends with benefits or are you taking a test drive?
If it's a test drive then who knows what the future will bring? You both both need to show the other what they are getting with you.
So having sex with their roomie for example is not a good idea. Going to a party together and then hanging out with someone else all night is probably not a good idea. Hitting on every women that catches your eye in front of her? I'm going to say no. Giving a full neck to navel downblouse show to all the men in the room, all night, in front of him? Not a good idea.
My point is that if you are not in a best friends with benefits or booty call relationship and both of you understand that then you are in test drive mode. You are both showing the other what they get if they decide to spend their life with you.
Act accordingly. The answer to your question is yes. IMHO
Cheating? Of course... sex, any kissing, emotional attachment,... making a man her bestie that she must see and talk to daily and spill her heart to etc.
There are lots of boundaries she could cross that may not officially count as "cheating" but they still result in an immediate break up.
Posing nude in any way for others, getting a tattoo (she knows I hate tattoos... if she wanted them she should have ended things back then... I'm not going to look at that sheet on her body... I'm out), going to strip shows, letting some stripper grind on her... if she ever volunteered to be a surrogate mother, taking a job requiring lots of travel, joining the military and making us into a long distance relationship, becoming a drug user, becoming a "girls night out" drinker, partier and club girl.
I'd end things for lots of reasons that cross my boundaries and are things I don't want in my life but "cheating" itself is mainly sex, kissing, touching, getting too close to another man that is not me.
You can't cheat while dating, only if there's some discussion of exclusivity, or actual explicit terms laid out. If there are lies, manipulation or deceit, well, that's what dating is for, see what someone is like through their actions. Break up with them and date someone else.
When I date usually I'm dating more than one person at a time to keep my options open and because it will likely fall through again and again, so I need to keep replacing until I find someone I actually like and want to be with. Though I don't have to be, I'm open and honest about that if anyone ever bothers to ask. So far probably only 3 people have ever asked, and I offered to be exclusive with dating them immediately simply because they actually paid attention.
It's sad, but that is so very rare to find when dating, someone who pays attention.
There are many forms of cheating. But, it all depends on the individual and what they perceive as cheating.
There is alienation of affection. The person still loves their S. O. but someone else is getting the in love passion or attention.
Mental cheating where the person thinks about others in a sexual way.
Physical cheating involves touching, groping, kissing, or sexual contact.
All just depends on the person. Would you consider you guy grinding on another girl on the dance floor cheating or harmless play? What if he kisses your friend on the cheek during getting or goodbyes?
Some still considering watching porn a form of cheating.
It's cheating if it's behind my back or if she's engaging in a relationship that will result in my being pushed out of the picture. I would not consider it cheating if she suggest a threesome with a really cute guy or if I am not able to please her sexually due to an illness and she takes on a lover on the side with my consent.
The way I see it is like you do something that your partner will feel betrayed by if he/she knows about it. That bars some privacy things like I don't think my wife will feel betrayed if she doesn't see me pooping in the toilet, or my conversations expressing concern when she's upset with my fam. But she will feel betrayed if I kiss another girl and so I consider that cheating.
Cheating is ultimately deception as I see it. What precisely is in the realm of deception might vary from couple to couple. But it's betraying our partners... and we don't have to lie to betray our partners. We can just keep certain truths from them that will make them feel betrayed. With my wife, I talked to her upfront a lot. She knows I like many girls even though I love her the most so she is not betrayed by me going, "Hubba bubba! That girl is sexy!" (I even tell her and she agrees). She knows I watch porno here and there and so I am not betraying her if I watch some when she's having her period. But I would betray her if I got too close to a girl and got all flirty, or kissed her, or things like that.
It depends on your relationship and your partner as I see it... and it's not rocket science. You know if you are doing something which will make your partner feel betrayed about if they knew about.
Hmm, I am sensing a theme here. What happened? And was it recent? I am guessing you got really screwed over and you were very invested and this asshole cheated and broke your heart. I can't fix a broken heart, but I can listen to what happened. If you need a virtual shoulder, you can use mine.
If there isn’t exclusivity (and that’s by mutual agreement), there can’t be „cheating“. If you want exclusivity, tell the other person- don’t assume they have the same understanding
Any time you intentionally go behind your partners back to do something with someone else that your partner believes is a special intimate thing that only you two share.
Everything comes down to the relationship dynamics. How long have they been together, what is there agreement around seeing other people? Too many factors for a solid answer.
Cheating does not exist during the dating cycle. You are not betrothed. Infidelity comes into play when both parties mutually agree to a committed relationship ie engagement then marriage.
If you see it vertically then believeing that practically you know the stages, cheating can be considered when level of stages has gone above than dating paralelly
