To further expand on this, they don’t roleplay as themselves, and neither has seen the other person’s face despite knowing each other for a long time.
I would consider it cheating, as that person is consciously choosing to contribute their time, affection, communicate their fantasy likes, dislikes, build that intimate connection with someone online, so they can act out the roleplay online, instead of acting on their desires in person.
Since it takes emotional investment to open up about your sexual interests / fantasy / roleplay desires, ontop of also building a connection with the online person, and giving ample amounts of time, commitment to the online individual so they can act out the things they enjoy.
It's not physically cheating, but i would consider it a type of emotional investment / cheating
It depends on what they're role-playing. My husband had been rping with this guy online for years when we started dating, and I didn't mind at all because they were pretending to be goofy ass vampires having a prank war. It's like gaming with friends online I think.
As long as you aren't going to the friend instead of your partner for intimate sexual or emotional needs, I don't think it would count as cheating any more than any other activity between friends.
Depends. It only is if they are trying to make that fantasy a reality, we as humans fantasize about many things that we don't actually want to be our reality or won't be.
If it does become that as a goal to them that's when they will push away from you and start seeing them as their real partner and trying to ramp up what shouldn't be there if it's just a fantasy.
Well unless it’s a innocent enough role play. Yeah once it turns sexual it’s cheating emotionally. I agree with people who said once you’re into someone else. Then there’s a problem

Anytime you invest your time into someone else other than investing your time into your partner? Is cheating. especially if you are hiding it from your partner
Does it have to be cheating for it to be disrespectful and maybe a bit weird?
Cheating would be a little bit strong of a description, but I'd be uncomfortable for sure. Though I suppose it depends on what exactly they are roleplaying and how sexual it is and why they feel the need to do it.
I rp online but draw the line at erp (erotic roleplay). I do slice of life writing mostly though which is like role playing a relationship for the character, but I don't have any feelings for my writing partner so no I don't consider it cheating.
Depends on if you are role playing sexual activities or not, some people RP stories with each other as a form of brainstorming, or helping a writer/novelist explore their abilities to create an interesting story.
I think this is going to depend on how the individual partner feels. I can see it working for some but not others, all depending on levels of respect and trust.
I find it hard to decide. I mean, if it's erotic & sexual, then yeah that'd be a no no. But as for just friendly roleplaying for fun, maybe it isn't?
depends on the "roleplay"
sexual? absolutely!
a random dumb minecraft server? (also depends on severity of how often/how explicit etc)
How is that any different from sexting? Of course it's cheating
It's roleplay, not any actual intimacy, so it's not exactly cheating. However, it's pretty creepy and suspicious anyway.
Not at all. It's fantasy, just an interactive story.
It depends if it is dnd roleplay with a group or if its a different kind of roleplay.
It's mind blowing... the amount of people that voted they'd be okay with this. It is cheating 100% to me.
Like DnD, furries, comiccon stuff? Not for me but if they were there before you I say let it go
Not all role play is sexual. If it is just role play and he is not masturbating to her then it is not cheating….
Eeeehhhh yeah…. thats too far. Like sexting. Jokes here and there or plutonic flirting can be cool, but this, nah.
I'd say it just harmless fun and might make good research lol
Deal breaker.
Bu-bye.
Yes, that's emotional cheating.
Nope I'd consider that fun
