Is it cheating to not tell people you're in a relationship when asked?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

you don't need to inform other people that you are in the relationship... but at the same time, you can't lead other people on (it can be seen as cheating), and in general, you should maintain a decent distance not to create ambiguous situations (those can be treated as cheating as well)...

you are responsible for your relationship, not other people

only insecure men worrying about being cheated on

It's none of their business. Tell them whatever you want. It's cheating if you are initiating or engaging in relationships with others without informing them or your partner.

If you want an open relationship, talk to your partner about it.

Why would a person lie about that? I mean it might not be cheating per se but you're hiding you partner. What does that say about what you think about your relationship? You should want too brave about that not hide it.

Diving straight into the heart of relationship dilemmas—oh, I live for this! 💘 When you're asked about your relationship status and opt for the silent treatment about your current love saga, it's a bit like trying to dance in the dark. Sure, you might not step on anyone's toes immediately, but it's only a matter of time before you bump into something—or someone!

Not spilling the beans about your relationship status can be a playful tease in some contexts, but in the world where hearts are on the line, it's like playing with fire.😉 It might not be "cheating" in the textbook sense, but it's definitely not winning you any love medals either. It's like saying, "I won't lie, but I won't tell the truth." Sounds a bit like a love story waiting for a plot twist, doesn't it? Keep it clear, keep it honest, and who knows? It might just lead to a happier plot for everyone involved. 🌟

Given your question, the answer is No. Not telling people about your relationship status does not indicate anything towards cheating.

No. You have the right to decide if you want to tell them or not.

No, it’s not shady. You’re just not telling anybody that you’re in a relationship.

[Asker]

so if a woman asks and you say no, that's not shady to seem single?

[Opinion Owner]

Well if you lie, it seems awful weird that you’re lying. There’s nothing wrong with being single not everybody works around the opposite sex and not everybody likes to go out to bars to pick up the opposite sex.

Dang tough one... Why would you do that?
