Anything you lie (or not tell) about.

Whether the converse is true is a matter of personal choice, I suspect. Edit: If you think you've been cheated on then almost by definition you have.

Mate, Unfortunately I think most people have been there at some time, some forgive, some dont, its human nature. Really depends on a whole lot of factors including, but not limited to, what is emotionally invested in the relationship, nature of the indescretion, ability to talk through the issues and perhaps most importantly wether both want to move forward and continue their future together. If so, one of the hardest things is it then becomes an issue of trust and this can eat away at one partner to such an exent that they hurt the other, downward spiral.

All I can suggest is that if forgivness is on the agenda then it must be, however difficult, unconditional. Some one very close to me is going through this, unfornunately for them its all over town because one partner was so agreived at the time that they informed every one, this has added an additional dimension to the healing process. They are getting there and they are happy for the most part, thankfully.

Well.... Some people think flirting is cheating.... Yet flirting is often a daily part of any sales job.

The difference is being open about it with your partner and yes - I will flirt with people in front of Vicki but not seriously and always without any crass crudeness (well maybe if I'm pished). Either way - you are on risky ground...

If you mean fantasizing about others? If we were being honest we all do that - we even fanatise about being other people or at least adopting some of their attributes. Crumbs - it happens here every day - we all think we are Rossi...

When it gets physical.... Unless it's an open relationship (which does not work) Thats cheating....

What you have to decide is are my feelings of hurt and betrayal justified or are these feelings making a trivial flirtation into a relationship ender. Thats a tough one.

Whats tough about having an alternate lifestyle based on sexual preference is sex defines your life to a certain degree and reduces the availiable partners. As a casual observer, this results in some people inside that lifestyle being quite predatory in their practises and rather cavalier regarding other peoples relationships. It's very easy to be flattered enough by some practised attention to do something daft.

You need to sit down and calmly look at things. Put aside your own hurt and try to see what happened and why - then look at your own feelings again. Maybe your hurt was justified?? We can't tell.

Either way PF - good luck mate, sounds like a bit of a storm a brewin...

in anything that you do....if your partner walkin in on it or appeared in the senario and you were totally comfortable with them being there and totally comfortable that they wouldn't have questions about it or any objectional feelings about it....its fine.... its not about your feelings of guilt or what you feel is okay really....its about their feelings

well if your not comfortable about something thats happened...and you feel that some form of cheating has happened...then possible it has...all forms of
cheating comes across as emotions...and if you have these emotions and thoughts like you obvioulsy are then theres your answer...

its a funny thing....because if your partener trys to justify there actions or try to make reason of your feelings they don't go away....because no matter
what you are told or shown....they can't deniy you have these feelings of miss trust....which is often a wound that heals....but leaves a scar

I guess you need to talk first and then decide what to do next. Do you end it or forgive.

No one is perfect so it is really upto you how you feel, not just now but about moving forward with your partner..........you say years so sounds like you should talk first and then decide.

What is everyones definition of cheating?

Much has been said that kinda addresses your question, but I'd suggest that if there's something a person feels uncomfortable about, raise it as an issue to talk about.

What appears to be cheating may have a good reason behind it, or may be symptomatic of a bigger problem that actually needs resolving. Cheating is a sign AND and problem. The trick is to address the real problem... and somehow survive any indescretions...

10th November 2006, 09:32
to add to that.... if God can forgive us scumbags then we can forgive anyone for anything done to us. Never said it would be easy though.

Cheating is pretty much anything I think your partner/wife/husband would feel jealous about if they saw you do it/say it... probably anything initmate in touch, word or actions.

cheating...?

Cheating, IMHO, is a symptom. When people start looking outside their 'official' relationship for romantic fulfillment, it's because something's going wrong between them.

But let's be frank and cut the bullshit, eh? 'Cheating' is having sex with someone else.

Now, having experienced a fair bit of that myself (from both directions) I can confirm that the best part of any such situation is laying open one's private life to strangers on the internet. I've always found that immensely cathartic. Online communities are so validating.

Hey, if it happens to you, at least you'll never have to worry about how it's going to affect the kids...

MSTRS

Cheating is a sign AND a problem.

All the reasons/excuses come down to this. Only total honesty and trust from both parties can fix it. Is the effort worth it? Only the (original) couple can decide that.

But not confined to that... cheating can occur big time without sex, like all the responses posted here before...

Oh, gimme a break.

I'm not saying there isn't any non-sexual contact with third parties that's inappropriate when one's in a committed relationship, but come on.

Sex is what defines a committed relationship. It's the line in the sand.

Bend-it
10th November 2006, 10:33
Not for everyone... For alot of people, that "line" is not at sex, but much sooner, prolonged holding hands, kissing etc... Sharing intimate details about yourself... There's alot more going on than just sex, fish...

Sex is what defines a committed relationship. It's the line in the sand.

It is a defining act yes, but as the sole definition of committment? I'd suggest you broaden things to intimacy rather than purely sex.

Or are we saying the same thing?

I have a fairly broad definition of sex.

If someone gets off, it's sex.

If someone wants to get off, it's foreplay.

Kissing's pretty borderline, depending on how blue your balls get and how much bumping and grinding goes on.

And nobody but weird-arse religious types hold hands before they've shagged.

I agree with this.i knew with my first husband and i don't no why i just felt it every time he was around. And when i asked him he went into denial mod then i got the phone call from his bit of fluff:bye:
a relationship to me is being exclusive to each other and weather that be holding hands kissing or having sex or what ever. And as far as i'm concerned if you are doing any of that with someone else then you are cheating.
my motto is do to others as you would want done to yourself. I wish you luck in your decision and will be thinking of you. This is not a nice possion to be in.
GOOD LUCK

I reckon it is whatever the couple has agreed to be exclusive about. Many people have no real problem with a kiss for example, but no prolonged lip-lock tonsil hockey. I know someone who has no issue with anything up to and including oral sex, she is quite happy for her partner to do this. I was surprised but, hey whatever rocks your boat.
I think it should be discussed and agreed by the partners involved, whatever that covers.
Good luck PF.

Woman usually have a darned good idea if they are being cheated on. Something will go wrong in the relationship and if it isn’t sorted there and then, both usually start bitching at each other till they both forget what the original bitch was all about in the first place. Then of course it just gets worse after that. If you think the relationship can’t be saved then dumb the bugger. Otherwise marriage counsellors can work wonders. Someone in this thread said that once the trust is gone from cheating etc chances are it will probably not come back. This I agree with. At the end of the day you will have to make the final decision. I know woman can’t handle that loneliness too well, but….

in response to your first sentence .. men/woman usually have a darn good idea if they are being cheated on ... the stupid part is the partner cheating thinks that the other partner has no idea, but there are clues .. also over 90% of cheaters get caught ..

& can you clarify how you "know" that woman can't handle that loneliness to well ??

sounds a bit like a generalisation .. & from the incidents in the last week .. it appears the men do not handle break ups/indiscrections that well, more than the woman

"Cheating" is a combination of what you and your partner consider it to be. If you're both comfortable with flirting, for example, then that's not cheating even though in a different relationship it would be. You both agree on the boundaries.

Still not locked...

I have been cheated on in the past and you DO know. It's often just some little thing that makes you suspicious, but once there is that suspicion, it eats away at you until you know for sure. What bugs me is how you can confront the person and they often lie about it! (Same goes for tv - every person who is asked directly "are you seeing someone else?" says "no, I love YOU darling and no one else"!)

I'm now with someone I know with all my heart would never cheat on me and after knowing what it feels like to be cheated on, there is NO WAY I would want him to ever feel that way either.

Dunno why people cheat, but I'd never take back anyone who did. If they do it once, they'll do it again.

To quote "I did not have sex with that woman" :innocent:


"That woman" developed a whole new range of designer wear. Monica called her new range 'The Stainless Look.'

I think this thread being locked is cheating.

The thing about cheating that it's about not being honest. At the end of the day the person cheating can't lie to themselves.

To quote "I did not have sex with that woman"
You misquote Mr Clinton. What he actually said was "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." What he meant by that was that he did not have sexual intercourse, which is true. Some Americans have strange definitions around things sexual, with many believing that oral sex is no different to kissing or "heavy petting", and it is only the act of penile penetration that counts. Bill Clinton is smart enough to know that lying publicly is not a clever move. Being a shrewd chooser of words is another matter entirely.

It opened up a whole new word definition for "sexual relations" after that! But I see no addition into the Oxford dictionary for that definition??
theres everything else (i.e., Sexual harrassment,sexual politics, etc etc) will the confusion of what constitutes sexual relations ever be cleared up?! :laugh:

Thats a lot of interesting concepts on cheating from you guys.

The things that rang true the most were the comments on "cheating is what you and your partner have discussed to be cheating".

I suppose in each relationship its different.

We're all about interesting concepts, babe.

It's about time somebody asked the real question that's been preying on everybody's mind, though.

Was it a sausage roll (http://www.graftongourmet.co.nz/images/CHICKEN%20Sausage%20rollw.jpg) or a fur burger (http://www.bon-food.com.sg/images/im05.jpg)?

Absolutely. And at different times. You know - you may be feeling 'vulnerable', and a situation will give off different vibes at those times.

Jeesus Fish, does it matter what the girl had for lunch? It's the breaking of the diet that is the betrayal, not the make-up of the menu.

I've tried in vain to tempt a vagitarian or two with my sausage sizzle, it's never worked so I'd suspect that the Captains Choice was the food in the fryer, so to speak.

I can't believe that you could be so insensitive, i'd call you a cunt but they are useful 3 weeks out of 4.

In terms of relationships, Rule of thumb, I reckon its anything that you would not do with "another" in front of your partner. Complicated issue really.


That's well said, or something you wouldn't want them to know about.

I wonder what Hillary would have said if Bill had walked in and caught her giving a blow job.

Hillary "Hey I'm just checking the tast of the mayonnaise dear."

Yeah and the scariest thing I ever heard was a young southern gal who had taken the no sex before marraige pledge at her church, saying that anal intercourse did not count, she was still a virgin....
