Would you be ok with your partner flirting and touching someone else?

Question

Would you count that as cheating? If they're flirting, doing dirty talk, touching someone else?

PizzaDaddyo · Accepted Answer

No, but it super depends tho. Let me explain.

Not Okay! I definitely would feel crushed because I know I wouldn’t want to be flirty and definitely not touchy with anybody else than my partner.

Women are more flirty and a bit more touchy so I wouldn't mind her hugging a guy friend but she has to have been known him from school or like a family friend but I still would keep my eyes peeled a bit. So in this case a conservative friendly hug shouldn’t hurt. If she’s doing this a little much with every guy she’s getting confronted on my uncomfort. Girls flirt for even tips anywhere you go and stuff so I really don’t mind light flirting. If my girl is a server and calls everyone babe, am I gonna break up with her because of that? Probably not. Sometimes it is for the sake of light validation too which I can understand how girls thrive off attention and males attention soothes them, almost how side hustling soothes me. I will know if it is obsessive. If this woman of mine is going overboard with the flirting with other men where I feel it’s a problem i’ll just be real and tell her just to see me after class! She just picked up detention and I’ll whip her good, till I’m good!
I’ll be like,”So I’ve hear you love flirting with Zach Effron?”
*booty smack
“I”
* booty smack
“DONT”
* booty smack
“LIKE”
* booty smack

“THAT!”
(ROARING) * booty smack * booty smack * booty smack

If that don’t work we never will

The acceptability of flirting and touching someone else in a relationship is subjective and depends on the boundaries and agreements established within that relationship. Different people have different expectations and definitions of what is considered acceptable behavior.

Some individuals may have more open or polyamorous relationships where flirting and physical touch with others may be allowed, as long as there is open communication, consent, and mutual understanding between all parties involved.

On the other hand, many people consider flirting and touching someone else while in a committed monogamous relationship as a breach of trust and an act of infidelity.

The key to navigating this issue is open and honest communication with your partner. It is important to discuss your expectations, boundaries, and what is considered acceptable behavior within your relationship. Building a foundation of trust, understanding, and mutual respect is crucial in maintaining a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

It’s borderline cheating. Because it will eventually LEAD to sexual tension. LEAD to sexual intercourse.  And no I wouldn’t be ok with that. Because if I want a monogamous relationship. Serious longterm relationship. And he’s agreed to it. He’s basically breaking the rules. I’d think he’s become bored with me. And if he seems to be bored with me. 😑 Then the feeling is mutual. Im not his mother or a cop to be policing him. Id just give him space. Eventually take a break from the relationship, and eventually break up. you're not a Security Guard 😑. You’re not a cop 😑. You’re not his mom 😑. Just exit.

“Cheating” to me is very subjective. In my eyes, it is purposely doing something (or not paying enough attention to your actions) that your partner is uncomfortable with. If you’ve had an explicit conversation with them, great, follow that.

If not, then use good judgement. Please. If your partner seems on edge, mark that down to avoid or talk about. And for gods sake, if you notice your partner is uncomfortable with something, don’t continue doing it only when they aren’t around.

If "some people consider only sexual intercourse as cheating", then that's cheating for them. Some people don't even consider sexual intercourse to be cheating (polyamorous).

The thing about "cheating" is that it means you are not playing by the rules. But rules change, there are no hard and fast rules, especially when it comes to relationships with dynamic and unique human beings who don't all fit into one box.

Let's say you are playing cards, and you don't like your hand, so you take three of the cards you were dealt and throw them out, and get three new cards. Are you cheating? The answer is, it depends on what the rules are to the game you are playing. If you are playing draw poker, then you're playing by the rules. If you are playing stud poker, you are cheating.

Would you be ok with your partner flirting and touching someone else?

Probably the most important thing to take away from this is you should be clear what the rules are with whoever you play with, or some tragic arguments or even fatalities could occur.

"some people consider only sexual intercourse as cheating."

That is because the world in your generation has gone psycho. No sane person would be comfortable with their partner flirting, doing dirty talk or touching someone else.

WanderingLoveWizard · Answer

Why would you flirt and talk dirty to someone you don't want to fuck? The fact that so many people said no is disheartening. It's not about jealousy. It's about sanctity and respect. It is cheating

RHK36 · Answer

Definitely cheating. Don't even need to be physical, there's plenty of emotional cheating that happens. Flirting with people on purpose to other people when you are in a relationship is disrespectful because it's damn near cheating. Add in physical touching and yes that is crossing the line.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

That's cheating... she needs to leave already for even thinking about wanting to do that, unless it was another chick... and then we can talk.

ohsheeT · Answer

There's all different ways of cheating but doing what you said when you ask the question that's also disrespectful that's also selfishness on their part if they were turning around and you were doing that to a guy how would they feel what would they call it totally disrespectful and selfish and I could not have anybody in my life like that

Nikki1989 · Answer

No, it is cheating, just like watching porn is cheating. Gaining any sexual satisfaction from anyone who is NOT your partner makes you a cheat.

SolitarySolace · Answer

If that’s not considered cheating I don’t know what is

Jay3344 · Answer

Flirting is not cheating. Touching the other person sexually is cheating…so making out with someone else, hand stuff anything that you really can’t do in front of the partner is cheating. You want to fantasize about a celebrity or something when you masturbate…. not really cheating but you start making out with somebody or anything more and that’s cheating.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I’m not some cuckquean, so no. Flirting is an issue that I can easily and calmly address. But if he's also touchy-feely with someone, we’re going to have a problem

msc545 · Answer

Bricealan · Answer

Maybe not cheating... but that kind of thing would not go well with me if I am watching her do it... unless I agreed to her doing it.

Wise4myage · Answer

Sexting or dirty talk is emotional cheating.

slatyb · Answer

What is and is not cheating is determined by the couple. No one else gets a vote.

OddBeMe · Answer

Um not both. Flirt? Sure I “flirt” with female coworkers “work wives”. They pat me on the back. I slap their ass -just kidding. But both at the same time is a multiplier. So no.
