What's considered cheating for girls when they are in a relationship?

[Tabasco25]

Why do girls flirt with others when in a relationship? would you consider that to be cheating? If not , why?
Would girls be ok with their boyfriends flirting with other another woman? If not why?

Having to keep secrets and hide things from your partner is cheating , Flirting with the opposite sex while in a relationship is cheating , and disrespectful, people will try to sugar coat their actions any which way possible and convince themselves that they aren’t a piece of shit when really they are , why so many relationships do not make it , because people are selfish and only really think of themselves , If you can’t stay faithful and loyal to your partner then you are just wasting your time being with that person , Love only grows when we remove selfishness and sacrifice for each other , it should be you and your partner vs the world , Flirting with others is only damaging your relationship with your partner , also putting your partner into a situation that isn’t fair to them , who’s to say that person you are flirting with isn’t going to take things the wrong way and intervene into your relationship hurting your partners feelings , Why it is dumb as fuck to flirt with others when you are in a relationship. If flirting is something you have to do then maybe you should really reconsider being in a relationship with your partner , You are only lying to yourself that you actually love your partner and wasting your time and theirs. Selfishness will get you No where. So if you can’t stay faithful and loyal you are best to just stay single. You aren’t ready to be in a committed relationship , only commit to someone when you are ready to commit to them , if not it’s just a waste of time

Probably breaking off an engagement because she's met even just platonic a better man than her future hubby.

Probably has happened. Or a man meets a woman better than his soon to be wife.

Not too shocking. So why not parties return the rings in those two above lol

[pickedcrisps]

And they've chatted even mundane but chatted. Maybe they both felt a spark a sense of connection. Hasn't been acted on but you know. But then hey engagements get cancelled all the time. As do divorces begin every other day hahahha

Flirting, in its strict definition is definitely considered as a form of cheating and that is emotional cheating.

The definition of flirting is

"a sexual behavior involving spoken or written communication, as well as body language, by one person to another, to suggest interest in a deeper relationship with the other person".

Mind you that flirting is not the sole prerogative of the one or the other gender. As a matter of fact, men are more prone to emotionally cheat than women simply because they are less able to control their sexual hormones than women can.

It is a despicable act when you are in a relation to flirt with someone else because everyone knows what the ultimate goal of flirting is...

[t-8900]

eh i've seen both genders flirt as a form of self validation. I've never done it in a relationship myself but i think it's more to feel like they're still valuable if their partner isn't validating them (which they should be)

@SueShe
Is just smiling at a guy cheating on?

[SueShe]

@Jennz6 I don't think that just smiling would be considered cheating.

I flirt all the time eith both men and women and I have 0 intention of cheating on my wife. Flirting is just a form of playfulness to me and neither of us see it as cheating. I'd have 0 problem if she wanted to do it, she just isn't very good with it. I make it a point to never flirt with someone who may take it seriously because I have no intention of following up on it especially in the case of guys who I am not sexually attracted to as a whole.

It really is just about being playful and coy to get a laugh from both me and the recipient.

[Jennz6]

@Ez-Bri-Z_v2
I flirt with men and women too 💕

[AviatorTom]

Playful flirting is not cheating, unless the person is looking for something more. Both guys and girls playfully flirt, which is fine, it's not cheating.

My guess is it's an ego thing, they need, strive for that attention, energy and somehow make it OK in their heads they're not doing something wrong. They miss that part from when they were single. I've never done it, but found myself in situations where others have flirted with me, them being single or not. I come from a split home, ending because of infedelity so I don't see the fun in it, having bern through what I have and seen the hurt I've seen. Ironically, I had to deal with jealousy, suspiscious minds from an ex and then new partner, with all their trics of keeping an eye on you and I know what damage that has done. I would never play along as it is against my nature what my family been through. I think if you are like that, flirting with others like that it is important your partner is just the same as you are so you both can function at that level but as for me I see it as childish, selfish and not caring about the other side of the coin, how it can effect others. I used to be scared my partner would find out some guy at work was flirting with me, but now I come to understand I've done nothing wrong, I am not responsible for other people's actions, how they chose to function. All I can do is prove to them I'm not playing.

[younggunsss]

It depends.
I have a flirty personality and am. just a friendly person so me being me might come of as flirting to some people but itz just me being me but if my fiance acted the same way I wouldn't be comfortable cause it would be him trying to flirt cause its not his personality to be like that. If that makes sense? So I guess if your actually trying to lift properly then yes I would consider it cheating cause your trying to go somewhere else for that satisfaction and validation. But if you have to get that else where you need to have a serious chT with your other half.

[SISWITHBROTHER2]

Flirting Is one thing. Cheating is another thing. Flirting, you can smile, joke, laugh, tickle, pinch a butt, and mess around, even with some grabbing. To me that is being yourself, and I don't consider that cheating. Cheating to me means, being with a guy and you hug and kiss and feel each other then you end up having sex.

[Jennz6]

@SISWITHBROTHER2
Exactly

[BeenThereLovedIt]

My experience is that nothing women do is considered cheating, or it's excused, because it's always somehow the mans fault.

"you drove me into his arms"...

"I felt neglected"...

"You weren't there for me"...

There's endless examples. It's simply manipulation. And men fall for it.

[Jlegacy]

Although girls can flirt with you without having any interest in you, deep down inside they do it to get some form of validation and studying that deeply would make you conclude that it is a form of cheating.


A girl who flirts is not good for anyone. You need a girl who knows who she is and is free from the sick need to be told she is sexy or beautiful.

[Anonymous]

When a girl checks out emotionally the relationship is already over. When a guy's dick is checked out for him it's the same thing. To keep a man you need to be giving him regular bedroom fun and for women you need to be giving her regular emotional support.

[AnthonyJ01]

Flirting could be looked at either way.
My ex started texting her ex bitch after lies her mother told her. She started sleeping over and going out on dates with him.
In like 9 days there were over 700 text messages between them. I had been receiving calls from friends who let me know, but she of course denied everything.

[ChiPaPa]

That should be up to the couple. Relationships are rather complicated in terms of what people expect. Whatever you happen to feel is cheating, talk to your partner and let them know early in a relationship.

[t-8900]

That's a good and mature way of looking at it

[infjsoul88]

Boundary is micro-flirting is the new type of flirting by liking other women pics on social media, checking orher women out on social media and commenting, as this is the new way if flirting.

[infjsoul88]

Sorry other men*

[t-8900]

That's a bit crazy. Some girls I know from when I was a kid and I like their pics. It's not a big deal. I have zero interest in them.

[billmunch]

Well, I don't expect 100% perfection in a relationship, so occasional casual sex is okay. If she wants a side boyfriend, we should establish rules.

[Adam1978]

Flirting isn't cheating but it not a proper behavior either from a partner.

[LiamJHayden]

In practice, cheating is whatever the partner considers it to be. Everyone on this site can say one thing is not, but if the partner says it is...

[Dude_777]

Nothing at all, because it was just an accident 🤣. I happened accidentally. LMAO 🤣.

[Jennz6]

It’s not cheating if I smile at a handsome dude

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Desiring another man or having sex with another man is cheating.

[noohair]

Innocent flirting is normal. It is human nature. The intent makes is a prelude to cheating.

[HighValue]

Flirting is cheating.

[Jennz6]

@HighValue
Nope, not flirting

[slatyb]

No it's not cheating.

[Hannahjo24]

I just don’t understand why people cheat 🙄

[t-8900]

No loyalty, selfishness, but the fact you question why means they it you stay on this path of thinking you'll be a good catch for whoe you end up with. Imho loyalty is everything in this world. Without loyalty you're nothing.

[dustybiker2]

This is over a year old

[TurningGraves]

It depends on the couple’s agreement.

[DrPepper12]

Physicality. It's just flirting till then.

[Anonymous]

Flirting is not cheating, sex is cheating,

[Hangry06]

Sex for most
