Is that wrong that I gave my number to a guy even though I have a boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

We’ve been together for a few years now. The relationship is stable, but lately, it’s been a bit emotionally dull.
The other day, I had a casual but genuinely enjoyable conversation with a guy I met at a café. There was some mutual interest, and I ended up giving him my number.
Now I keep wondering was that disrespectful to my partner? I’m not planning to do anything with this guy, but I can’t help feeling like I crossed a line.
Is this just harmless interaction, or would you see it as a form of emotional cheating?

It’s borderline cheating because you invested your time into another guy behind your boyfriends back and gave the guy your number , more than likely with the intentions that you hope he calls you , so what you are doing isn’t innocent behavior because you are opening yourself up to let someone else in. How would you feel if your boyfriend was doing that to you behind your back?

How would you feel if your boyfriend got some girls#?

WOW. I feel sorry for your boyfriend. Would you be okay if your boyfriend started chatting with some random girl? Really thinking about what you're doing.

"We’ve been together for a few years now. The relationship is stable, but lately, it’s been a bit emotionally dull." Go to counseling and work out your problems. Don't start talking with another man.

Navigating the waters of love can be tricky, right? 😅 It sounds like you might be missing a spark in your current relationship. Giving someone your number when you're in a committed relationship can indeed feel like a crossing of lines, especially if there’s mutual interest. That doesn't automatically mean it's emotional cheating, but it's worth considering what you're seeking and how it aligns with your relationship. If there's a gap, chat with your boyfriend about it—it might bring the two of you closer or clarify what you truly want. 💙 Remember, a relationship with open communication is always a keeper!

Its cheating if you went out of your way for your boyfriend not to know. Also no guy is approaching you for a number just to be friends obviously. So it's inappropriate

It's your choice, but I don't think that your boyfriend would really like that...

I find it disrespectful.
