Re: Definition of "Cheating" in relationships

Again I think the best metric for almost every single case is "If I wouldn't do X in front of my significant other, X may be considered cheating"

Re: Definition of "Cheating" in relationships

OK my definition of cheating in relationships is if you don't show respect(love) for you spouse in the conditions in the relationship. Also in doing that you show affection to another when you bf and gf is not present, now, if you;re the kind of person that says you polyamourous, then that rule should be discussed. But should include if you going to have sex, put on a condom before you do it, practice safe sex. Or something more ot that nature of responsibility.

Also my thing is, since I'm not monogamous, and I like it no restrictive boundaries but boundaries of safety much be taken account personally and emotionally. In any relationship needs it's limits of that emotional healthy communication.

In poly-amoury you need LOTS OF COMMUNICATION.

Re: Definition of "Cheating" in relationships

it's all a thing of comfort with each other.

I've had friends that are girls whilst in a relationship and she'd tell me when I was going too far.

In French culture people would give kisses as a greeting but that's just customary. I guess there's a difference between that and a lustful kiss.

It's just a matter of communication. I personally wouldn't really want any sort of intimate contact going on with my partner and someone else.

Re: Definition of "Cheating" in relationships

I think if you're going to bother being in a committed relationship with someone, you really should be committed. If my girlfriend held hands with another guy I'd be pretty upset, therefore I avoid holding hands with another girl. Any legitimate interest towards another person seems like cheating to me. I feel uncomfortable if a girlfriend of mine said another guy was attractive. It is dependent on the relationship though. You just need to discuss both of your opinions and do your best to follow them. I'm lucky enough to actually have a loyal girlfriend now. One of the best feelings in the world is feeling that person only loves you (apart from family and friends; that's a different kind of love).

Committed relationships were at one point in our culture things of marriages, not for teenagers.

Re: Definition of "Cheating" in relationships

Cheating is entirely subjective and there is a lot of stuff going, especially in older couples. Cross exchange and sex parties are more frequent than you might think. There are a lot of places where you can go and have sexual approaches with strangers who are members of the club. All in all, it all comes down to the mutual decision of what is a "game" and what is actually cheating.

However, my own personal view of things is that our mind is not made so we are tied by a single one. This is a way of being we force on our nature due to the way our society is structured. Therefore, i am very lenient and i think "cheating" physically is just part of human nature, feeling attraction for others is normal and it can happen to slip down on that side a little. On the other hand, in a relationship where there is a strong emotive affection, physical betrayal can become harder to understand. I restrain myself from some people i know i have a thing for, cause my intent is to respect my counterpart. What's more important, in a relationship like that, feeling psychological/emotive attraction for someone else is the real cheating. That's in my own opinion, the only really inexcusable thing in a high-level relationship.

Re: Definition of "Cheating" in relationships

I agree with Rubix's perspective. Also, I would point out that the concept of cheating is based on trust. Being in a relationship means you have to trust each other to be faithful, and cheating breaks that trust. What defines cheating is not the act itself, but the fact that it goes past the boundaries you have decided on.

Re: Definition of "Cheating" in relationships

I've been dating my girlfriend for a year and a half now, and honestly, I don't care if she 'cheats' on me. But I wouldn't consider it 'cheating' because I'm okay with it. When I talk to other people about it, cause no one agrees with me, I get things like 'you don't take your relationship serious enough' or 'you don't feel the way you should about her', which is completely untrue. The only thing I want her to be is happy, and if she wants to do something, then I want her to do it. I just want her to do whatever she wants to do in life, and sex (and other things) is a part of life. Why does cheating bother so many people? I have full confidence that she will still want to be with me. The things that bother me are when people do things to her like slap her ass, grab her boobs, stupid things like that. Those are the types of things that come off as she doesn't exactly want it because I don't know any girl who wants random guys slapping there ass in school (or anywhere else, it just happens most in school) all the time. It comes off as something she doesn't want, cause she doesn't tell anyone to do it, they just do it, which makes me mad.

This in short: You can fuck my girlfriend all you want....just please don't slap her ass or grab her boobs.
