Okay, here's the scenario- this guy has a gf, who never has time for him, so he met this girl online and they spend hours and hours together, talking about nothing. Every so often they engage in cam 2 cam "activity". Some would say this is emotional cheating and therefore wrong, however, they have never met and more than likely never will. Also, allegedly, emotional cheating is worse than the physical act, because of the feelings involved. My questions are these: do you think what these two do is wrong, and is emotional cheating worse than physical cheating?

Cheating is cheating-if you have to question it you are cheating.

yes i do the question is WHY

Amen sistah!

It is definately cheating!!

Yes and Yes.

Yes, it is cheating. Anytime you look outside your relationship for comfort, desire, companionship... unless it is merely the love and support of a family or friend... then it is cheating. I would say emotional cheating is worse than the physical only type because you have invested yourself in it and not merely just your body.

You've given of your soul, of yourself, and crossed over from just the material tangibility of the body. How can that not be cheating?

this is what they call in Washington - the ahem "exit strategy"...

Does a one legged duck swim in circles...?? OF COURSE it's cheating

It must be Monday

beyond a shadow of doubt, it's cheating!

Your absolutely rite & it's the worst thing you can do to someone..

yes it is cheating

Actually it is Monday. Imagine that. :)

camming can lead to cheating i know

If he tells his girl friend that he is talking to another
girl on line- than I think that would solve the probblem.

I guess I consider it kind of cheating if he is looking to
another girl for support and companionship- even if it is the computor. Espeically if he hides it from her. He should be seeking the support and companionship of his girlfriend- not some other gal. They should be working on things together,
Not with some unknown third party.

If you ask me he is just looking for any excuse to talk to
someone else. Does not sound like a good situation to me.
Something fishy. I would'nt want to be the third party or the girlfriend...

I wouldn't consider "cam-to-cam activity" just "emotional cheating". If they do anything sexual, considering there are REAL PEOPLE involved, I would definitely consider it cheating.

Everybody has problems being busy and finding time to spend together - there are better ways to deal with it though if you're not a DOG!!! (like open your mouth and TALK and plan better the little bit of time you do have together).

On the other hand, if nothing sexual is involved and the people are only friends, I wouldn't consider it cheating as long as it was agreed between the girlfriend and boyfriend that it was ok.

I think that depends on what the definition of "is" is.

anything that involves physical or emotional romantic interest is cheating....

kissing, flirting, cybering, sex makes no difference, your betraying your partners trust there for cheating.....

Uh oh...there's a story lurking in there

well that wasn't cheating the other night cuz we had the mute button on..............
