Where does cheating start?
2009-07-04, 11:47 PM #1
Clearing having sex or fooling around with someone other than your partner is cheating, but where does cheating actually start? What is massassi's oppinion? I have no idea, to be honest.

I don't understand the question. I mean, you could blame the intentions (i.e. sex drive, dying relationship) but usually something has to happen for one to "cheat" on another. You can't call it a crime without the action.

Well a quick google search revealed this page, which says that confiding in other women is considered to be cheating by a significant number of women. Not all women (or men) think that counts, so what are peoples opinions on the subject.

I don't think it's necessarily the confiding in other women...but more the intentions of confiding with that other woman. If it's just friends that should be okay...but if it's something that is definitely effecting the relationship negatively, then the guy should be talking his significant other....or something like that.

if you do something with her you would never do with your male friends it's cheating

Building another relationship or having the intention to with another person behind your significant others back. Any physical intimacy with another person without your significant others consent,

Cheating starts when you kiss someone who isn't your significant other.

Wow that is ridiculous.
My best friend is a woman, I tell her everything, including any problems I've got with my current girlfriend.
Theres definitely no relationship between my female friend and I other then a friendship closer then family. She has a husband and two children and I love them all dearly.
There has been one girl who couldn't stand me having a female best friend... so I left her. Lovers come and go but my friendship with her will be forever.

If you impregnate (or become pregnant to) someone who isn't your significant other at the time, it's cheating.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

I don't think this rule would work with Vin.

More seriously, I would assume it starts with lying or trying to keep a secret about a relationship with someone else (and by relationship I guess I mean anything past friendship). If you have to lie or keep it a secret you likely already KNOW you're doing something wrong...

I think the point at which cheating is defined is directly proportionate to the jealously of the accuser OR the point at which you acknowledge to yourself that you're cheating, whichever comes first.

I'm sure that could be written out as an equation.

nice loophole... it isn't cheating if i don't kiss her

for gays you just reverse that... her=him male=female

for bisexual people you have to completely reword it


it's also not cheating if your significant other gives you permission

All right, whose girlfriend did you fiddle with?
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Cheating is when you do something with someone that you should be doing with your significant other.
2009-07-05, 11:36 AM #19
Listening to her talk about anything and everything without complaining about her rambling?

See nothing is cheating if you aren't in a relationship in the first place.

I beat the system.

It's not cheating if you aren't aware you're doing it.

If you feel guilty or the need to hide it from your partner, it's cheating.

This is what I meant to say. Kissing was just a 'first step' in my mind.

In seriousness, I think cheating only begins when you act upon it.

If you're flirting with someone you know you shouldn't etc.

You're cheating when you feel guilty about it.

So if you don't feel bad about it it's not cheating? :neckbeard::neckbeard::neckbeard:

I'm a little surprised to be saying this, but Tibby's right.

If you say you cheated on someone, that tells me that you hurt them by doing something they trusted you not to do. It seems a little duplicitous to go looking for a more "precise" definition of cheating ("well, it has to involve at least kissing, and you have to know that you shouldn't be doing it..." &c &c &c): what else can the objective be but to establish your own righteousness in an argument? The point is that your partner's feelings are hurt; gerrymandering definitions isn't going to help anything.

Of course, you can perfectly well ask, "What counts as cheating for us; what are the boundaries of our relationship?" (That is: "What do you expect me not to do?") But asking that question online is more like taking a poll of everyone's favorite ice cream.
2009-07-05, 6:45 PM #31
Haha, I'm not asking to set boundaries in my own relationship; I'm just seeing what most people think about it.

I don't hug dudes, but I hug girls (guess there might a little homophobia in me, but I think it's mostly cuz my dad never hugged me but my mum did, so hugging females seems ok but hugging males feels weird)

If ever we meet, I'll make sure to give you a hug. Then it won't feel so weird for you when other guys do.
