Cheating in a relationship. Like if your partner did something what would you consider cheating?

[Moose304]

This is a rather simple question to answer. First, remember a relationship means two people. So cheating is doing ANYTHING that YOU KNOW would make your partner uncomfortable or repeating said activity once told by the said partner to "knock it off". I know I am going to get the common you can't control them reply! I know! Still, this defines cheating. Infidelity in a relationship is the last link in a chain of events. Remember this. So going out to eat lunch and sitting alone with a co-worker or good friend of the opposite sex is a link in that chain. Then going on to develop "feelings" for that said person is another. Bottom line! If it upsets the partner or you know it will it IS CHEATING! by the way, cheating is not just having physical sex. It's also having a deep emotional connection. Just over the last year, I know of over 20 relationships that imploded because a wife or husband "found" a soulmate, and the relationship went physical. Make fun of my comments all you want! But deep in my heart, I know this is right because I have seen it too many times!

Hiding things and keeping secrets from your partner is pretty much cheating , flirting secretly talking To someone else , being acceptive of attention from others instead of giving your partner your undivided attention cuz you choose to give it to someone else , when You can’t admit to yourself that you are wrong and make excuses for your own actions makes you a cheater , When you are selfish and only really care about yourself makes you a cheater we don’t commit to be single , most people want their cake and to eat it to. Relationships are team work , if you can’t sacrifice for your partner and make them your number 1 priority over anyone else , how do you expect them to do that for you? Love only grows between 2 people , when you respect each other , sacrifice for each other and remove selfishness and wear each other’s shoes is what makes love grow , if you can’t do those things for your partner you are best not to get yourself into a relationship at all , because you only care about yourself. Withholding intimacy and affection from your partner is cheating as well, when you are using it as a weapon to get your way or to punish your partner cuz you are upset with them , Most relationships end because people can’t remove selfishness and sacrifice for their partner they can’t accept that they are wrong , so they latch on to someone else that is going to tell them what they want to hear and be drawn to that over watering the grass they are already standing on , Thise people will never experience true love because they only care about themselves

When he watches porn every single day and won't stop. Going on several dating sites which wipes out his bank account and he doesn't care.
Doing anything, even having lunch with another woman is cheating because I know how he loves all women. He is a liar against empirical evidence that he was not having sex with another woman when I know he has. I found empty capsules for his erectile dysfunction pills he takes, and it easy taken to be with me. He admits he is a 🐖 pig! Almost wears it like a badge.

Any intimate engagement or involvement with someone else outside of the relationship without consent from the other partner. The intimate engagement or involvement could be either hand holding, kissing, flirting, talking/planning to be intimate, sex (of any kind), etc.

[Desconhecida]

Getting involved physically, emotionally or in any intimate way to other person other your official romantic partner.

There are different gradations of “cheating”. Some women think if a guy stares an extra moment at another woman that’s “cheating”. It may not be appropriate and/or disrespectful. She should call him out on it but not hold
a grudge just as long as he quits doing it. It’s not good but forgivable.

For me any contact with the genitals is the point of no return. This includes hands, oral and outright sex. A kiss “might” be forgivable depending on the circumstance. But anything more than that it’s game over.

[Heartache0405]

- Kissing another guy (cheek, lips, etc)
- Hugging another guy
- Touching another guy / letting another guy touch them
- Watching a movie with another guy (it’s never just a movie)
- Having sex with another guy
- Showing another guy her body
- Texting kissy emoji, heart emoji, any other lovey dovy emoji
- Role Playing with another guy


Basically I see everything as cheating which is why it is absolutely impossible to have a relationship with me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[AviatorTom]

Cheating requires two things:
1. You're in a committed relationship: boyfriend/girlfriend, SO, or marriage
2. You have sex with someone other than the person you are committed to

And, just to clarify, sex is not just intercourse; oral sex, hand job, foot job, making out, etc. all count as "having sex" (sorry, Bill Clinton).

[MrtoddsWildRide]

If you do something that devalues your relationship with your partner. It's not always sexual and if agreed on first, sex outside of the relationship is not always cheating.
So yes, some men cheat with careers.
Some women cheat with friends and family.
People cheat with money and sex and a host of other things

[standardguy]

The real cheating that is answered by a kick either out of the house or between the legs is if he has sex with another woman as his wife. A kiss alone is infidelity but not cheating in my opinion. Infidelity is also a very mean act and i expect the woman to be very angry and hurted with the husband.

[MountAverage]

The definition of the word "cheating" is pretty much universal. The rules that can be broken by cheating, are not. For some people even just flirting is cheating. The important thing is to actually openly talk to your partner about your boundaries, what things you'd consider cheating. I'm always shocked to see how many couples don't do that.

[DizzyDesii]

Getting physical with others,
Intentionally flirting with other, and
Getting emotionally attached to another woman so much that she looks to you as her number one confidant
... all while taken

[Dargil]

Having a sexually oriented. interactive relationship outside your committed relationship. It can be outright physical, but also "virtual" such as sexting, Omegle/Chatroulette and webcam girls.
AV and still photos are not cheating.

[Emerald55346]

Kissing or flirting consistently with the same person or intention to take it further, I feel like some people can be naturally flirtatious and that’s fine.

[Lionman95]

Cheating is in my terms away of playing around and making out without your partner and without their consent either with or without another person to fulfill your own egoistic goals and pleasure.

[mb120101]

Lying in general about anything is being unloyal. My girlfriend lying to me about talking to certain boys is cheating to me.

[Кураж]

Doing anything non-platonic with other people.
AKA all the things she wouldn't do with her dad.

It should be pretty straightforward.

[Biancam13]

Anything bigger than, and including, outrightly flirting with someone else and letting them know you’re interested, is cheating

[Subarugirl]

Cheating is when a person engages in an emotional, romantic or sexual activity or dynamic outside the bounds and consent of an established relationship.

[katiesmuff]

I would consider cheating anything of a sexual nature (minus hugging or a cheek peck) by anyone in a very serious relationship or marriage.

[pixie215]

sexting, texting another romantically, anything sexual in contact

[skyeee_]

the act of heartlessly flirting, talking (obv not in a friendly way) or in a sexual act with some other person without thinking of their partner and the relationship they're in

[KevVickinz]

Inputting a set order of buttons pressed in a sequence on the joystick to activate the cheat code

[Better_off_here]

well pretty much anything, kissing, cuddling, sex of course, and intimate talks about life is al cheating. basically, if you would not want someone to do that it is cheating.
