voldigicam Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I noticed that cheating seems to refer exclusively to stepping out of the relationship. Isn't stepping into oneself and excluding sex a complementary way of cheating? Violates the basic agreement in a romantic long-term relationship.
Geishawhelk Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 No, it's not 'cheating'. It's disrespecting the vows you made, and it's psychological/physical deprivation. But I couldn't call it cheating.... Oh, you mean, cheating the partner out of something they thought they'd be 'getting' and then not giving it? That's deceit....
2sure Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 It may be a betrayal to you, but since it is not involving someone outside the marriage I dont think it fits "cheating". And its not a secret kept from you either, I mean you know you're not getting sex.
Dexter Morgan Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Isn't stepping into oneself and excluding sex a complementary way of cheating? No Violates the basic agreement in a romantic long-term relationship. I would say that statement is correct.....but its still not cheating.

In my opinion, a partner who abandons the other forfeits any right to complain about cheating.
lovestory5 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Cheating is the way to show that you are bored with the life itself. You want to feel new emotions and sex is an easy way to do it.
motive2002 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I think sex drive is a constant energy.. and it's outlet manifests itself either through sex with a partner, or masturbation. There's little variation in libido, unless you're ill or on medication or something. I wouldn't classify withdrawal of sex as "cheating", but to me it would be some kind of warning that something is wrong.
