The Bloggers With The Most To Say
What is your definition of cheating?
I'm not being cheated on currently, but I'm pretty sure an ex cheated on me once. Well, at least what I define as cheating. Anyway, I took a marriage and family relationships course in college and this question was posed in class one day. People's responses were very interesting to me, so I thought I'd ask here, since most of us are pretty opinionated.
My question to you is, What is the first thing someone can do before you, in your mind, consider it to be cheating on their significant other? Thinking about another person in the wrong way, kissing someone else, sleeping with someone else, etc.....where do you draw the line?

If you feel it's necessary to cover it up, and if it's something you wouldn't do if your significant other was in the room.

I agree with the comments: Anything you wouldn't be comfortable doing in front of your significant other.
This goes down to the core of it - you obviously have reservations about doing it in front of them because you know that it is wrong. Associated words: guilt and shame followed by feeling the need to lie. It''s after you feel guilt or shame that you feel forced to lie to cover up that you shouldn't have done.
If cheating is such an important factor in your life, then maybe it's time to break off the relationship and go back to being single, where you aren't hurting someone else that trusts you.

i think the intention to do something is cheating, so it can happen before anything physical has taken place. but not neccessarily anything you would be uncomfortable with just cos your partner is there. I have close friends that I talk to about stuff that I don't talk about with my partner, just because its not stuff she WANTs to talk about but just cos she doesn't want to talk about those things doesn't mean i'm cheating at all.
you can't always talk to your partner about EVERYTHING, i know some of you will say that that means i am not fully committed. That's not true eitehr, I just don't believe that it is healthy to totally invest yourself only in one person at the detriment of all others.

If you are in a relationship with someone then no one else should matter, Cheating is a funny thing when it comes to people. Everyone has there opinion, like well I look at other guys/girls but Im not touching...umm if your looking than the possibility of you touching them is higher!
I have seen so many girls and guys get jealous of their loved ones because they think they are going to cheat and eventually they push and push and that person cheats...
Cheating to me is considered anything with contact and any signs of a failing relationship! I am an upfront kind of a person and would rather not wait for the events to occur...I always say if you cheat then thats on your mind, if you feel like you want cheat BREAK UP WITH ME and then do so...SAVE THE DRAMA!
I AGREE ALSO..if you feel like your cheating then you ARE...NO RULES in this GAME...there is only point A and point B!

having friends of the opposite sex or same sex is not cheating....BTW! I mean we should be able to befriend whomever we want, but as a partner we should be considerate about our loved ones..Relationships are suppose to be that way! Its ONE TEAM ONE DREAM...not I CAN BUT YOU CAN NOT!
