kristina19 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I want to know what everyone thinks about the internet. Is it really cheating if it is done solely online? What really is the defantion of cheating? I'm interested in everyone's thoughts!
BestAdvisor1 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Just online checking out porn is probably not cheating unless he knows you're against it and he still does it. However, online talking, IMing, interacting with another girl is definately cheating. Sending pictures of himself to another girl is definately cheating. Planning to meet another girl is definately cheating. Lying to you the pictures he took of himself is more than suspicious. He has done alot already based on what you already know..how much has he done that you don't know? Has he met the other girl already? You don't know for sure. Has he invited her over for sex already when you're at work? You don't know for sure. Do you trust him, you know that for sure? What are you going to do about it?
shoesies05 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Interacting with another person online sexually or emotionally on a romantic level is deff. cheating.
corey.the.star Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 In my opinion, cheating is anything he does with someone when you are not around that he wouldn't do if you WERE around. If it were alright for you to see how he's interacting with that person, why would he wait until you weren't there? One can become quite emotionally involved with someone, even without physically meeting them. But everyone must draw their own boundaries.
JackJack Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Is it really cheating if it is done solely online? *I'm not sure exactly what it is you're referring to? Are you meaning porn? Cyber sex? Chatting intimatly online with another person? Ask yourself these questions. Is it something you would hide from your spouse/partner if they were to walk in the room? Is it something you feel you can share with your spouse or partner? What really is the defantion of cheating? *Alot of people have "their own" definition of cheating. Some people feel its only cheating if its a physical thing. But there are different forms of cheating in my book, physical, emotional, etc. It just depends on the person.
outofdarkness Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I want to know what everyone thinks about the internet. Is it really cheating if it is done solely online? What really is the defantion of cheating? I'm interested in everyone's thoughts! IMO yes, it is cheating..MY definition of cheating is anything that is done in secrecy and is deceptive...Anything of a sexual/romantic nature w/ OP other then one's SO...If your SO, H, or W doesn't know about it or knows and is NOT ok w/it, then it's cheating...Hope that help..ood
everynameistaken Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 It is cheating if you are doing something you would not do in front of your spouse. That's just my opinion. I'm not married, never have been, no kids, no b/f...just enjoying these posts. But I can tell you that if you aren't comfortable with your spouse being there (or b/f - g/f), then don't do it. I don't need to be married to come to that conclusion. But people will justify anything if they really want to.
jay6382 Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 corey.the.star is right, Anything they do when their SO is not around, I consider cheating. The internet brings out the worst in people.
FireandIce Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 In my opinion, cheating is anything he does with someone when you are not around that he wouldn't do if you WERE around.

If you won't do something around your spouse then you have something to hide and IMO that's a form of cheating.
xsianx Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 The internet has become a breeding ground for infidelity imo! I read your other post. Sounds like your H is having fun online, with lots of women and I'd say that was cheating, especially if the whole thing was being kept quiet from you! However and emotionally, he's not involved with any one of these women and in his eyes, he probably is just seeing it all, as having fun. But you need to nip his online activities in the bud, before he does perhaps come across and meet someone online, who he may start chatting too and eventually become emotionally involved with.....yes, it does and can happen!!
