GKRB Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 When a person is living with their ex, but now is broken up and is soon to be moving out, but already has told another, that has feelings for that other person? but has not done anything sexual or not even over the top flirting, more like " I like you" and thats it. Is that cheating?
Ronni_W Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 My personal is that, when both parties know that the relationship is over, it automatically voids any and all prior promises, vows and commitments -- so, whatever either person does after that can't be viewed in the same context as if there was a relationship with promises, vows and commitments attached. The living arrangements and making final plans to part ways, to me, don't make any difference. To me, it's not cheating. I think it's personal preferences and values, though: some people will want to consider it cheating, and others won't.

I agree, I believe it varies on what a particular individual feels the definition of cheating is . . . because to some, only intercourse is cheating with others intercourse and emotional could tie into cheating.

While is may not be officially cheating, but going from living with someone bouncing to another without taking the effort to learn the lesson a break-up offers can almost assure the next realtionship is doomed..... REBOUND!
Ilovecake Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I wouldn't consider it cheating per say but that doesn't mean that it's not disrespectful. My ex threw a party 3 days after breaking up with me while we were still living together. It was awful, I came home from work and he was all drunk sitting around with his buddies in my living room watching baseball. I felt absolutely horrible since these people were my good friends 3 days prior and couldn't even look me in the eye when I walked in. I just strated screaming that we're going through a breakup and this piece of terd is throwing parties.

REBOUND! I don't agree. My experience has been the opposite. I have had three very serious relationships, the fist guy was seeing the new girl before we broke up and they ended up staying together for 7 years. Second (love of my life) married less that a year after we broke up and they have been very happily married for 13 years now. This last jerk is marrying the girl he was seeing while we were breaking up. They seem ecstatic together. I wouldn’t not call any of these relationships rebounds. I'm not saying that they wouldn't have anything to gain from being alone for a while but it's not necessary.
