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



i agree, if you are not giving all of yourself
you are cheating-- both (physical, emotional) are
equal

Regardless if it is cheating or not.

I concede to the claim that men are terrible at multitasking. At least.. I believe that to be true with me, in this regard anyway.

Besides.. I tend to be with women that are a handful anyway. What good could come from messin with more than one at a time? Other then stroke some false sense of male ego...

Is looking at a hustler magazine and relieving your tension cheating also? Lookin at a girl through a camera is kinda like looking at one in a magazine that's been snapshotted through a camera. Not much difference.


Interesting perspective. I agree, since they're both not in real life.

If you are happy at home why would you need to do this?
I would be hurt if I found my gf doing this

You and the chick in Hustler aren't connecting on the same level. It's not a valid comparison.

It has happened to me in a relationship where he was unfaithful not by physically being with someone, however his sexual appetite for adult online entertainment hurt me worse than if I had found him in bed with someone else.

It's cheating, and to the man who spoke of the hustler mag....men are very visual creatures by nature and I wouldn't mind a mag every now, also man, get real, it's a magazine picture, what is the likelihood of you even being with that woman, that's more of a fantasy issue unless the other half finds it unacceptable then something needs to be worked out or just out right ended.

For me though, to do it with someone online.... isn't acceptable...this person needs to get up enough guts to break off the relationship and find out what this person wants and needs or discuss the situation with their partner and try to find a compromise so that there is more time being spent together to fulfill the needs of both people in the situation.....just my opinion.

He doesn't want to break off his physical relationship. I think he just sees his online friendship as an addition to what he has with her. He has her for sex, and the online woman for conversation. But he says he loves the gf, so he won't leave her. I don't see how anyone is getting hurt, unless he decides to leave his gf, which he won't.

That what can hapopen if you started out a relationship based on sex. You need to have a connection both spiritual and physical before anything.
I can see that he cannot hold a conversation with the girl he has at home. So he goes online to talk to other people. She better find a way to captivate his mind.
I don't think it's cheating. It's just a friend he converses with. I personally have a lot of female friend I converse with, never have sex with them or anything. We even go out sometimes.

Try as we might..some fail to make that distinction. With any luck, you (And I) will avoid them in intimate relationships.

It's cheating!

And, frankly, if this person would invest the time and energy into his relationship that he dedicates to his online gal they might be able to work through their issues.

Charm, intellect and beauty can have a miraculous effect on an otherwise good man who has a few bad priorities..

I'm guessing you will have no problem finding that guy.

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?


I am in total agreement with you Sister. !!!! It is cheating!

Don't mean to break out the bible on you but yes, if you lust after someone it's adultery without even doing anything

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?

If you have to ask, then is the relationship worth saving. Eventually the more people talk the closer they come, then the feelings start between them. Then they are tempted to act. So, yes, it is cheating.
