[b]Yes...very much so. You can't be involved with two person at the same time. You are betraying the trust of two person. If you don't love the first one. Let it go. It's better to be honest in the first place. To avoid losing both person. You got to choose one. Who is the right one for you. You decide.[/b]

Yes off course it is a cheating to relationship but not to love. Love is pure and it doesn't think anything else except love. But if you are in a relationship then its your responsibility to make sure that you maintain such a relationship until your lifetime. Love needs heart but a relationship needs your existence. If you are there then only that relationship has a value otherwise it is not at all called as relationship. If you are there or not love still exists. If you love someone then it doesnt required the other person to be with you. Hope this helps. Triguna M S

I don't think that falling in love with someone while you are in a relationship with another is cheating, but I do believe that what you choose to do with those feelings that can make you a cheater. I very much am in Love with my Man, we've been together for 8 years, and I would NEVER be with another person. There have been guys that I have met in this 8 years that I thought I could be in love with, however there is no way to truely be "in-love" with someone unless you have taken the time to get to know all of them and what they are about, if you take the time to explore that, then yes you are cheating. I think what most people realize is that when you meet someone you think you could be in love with, really you are just inlove with the idea of what you have that person made out to be in your mind, because you do not really know that person inside the way that you know the person that you are with, so how is it that you could pronounce that you are in love with them?

There is nothing like a term called cheating unless you are not honest to yourself, To fall in love with another person while already in a relationship is natural, love is like a breeze it cant be stopped or caged, but if u really love the person whom you are in relationship with right now, then go ahead and say to her that you have fallen in love again, Nothin wrong in it. Love is state of egolessness, and a great courage is needed to love. After all love is all about doing anything for the happiness of ur beloved one!

yes it is..but i think it is not wrong..if you really really fall in love with that somebody else then just try your luck..cheating yourself is worse than cheating your partner..but you must find a way how to tell your partner that you fall for somebody else..that is the worst part..somebody will get hurt..:)

I cannot say this is cheating because sometimes people fall out of love whether you accept it or not.But the thing is you should be honest with your partner and tell him/her the truth and confess.If you don't and start going around with this other partner I believe this is cheating then.

IF you are doing things with this other person while in a realtionship then yes thatis cheating. You should just tell the person you are dateing that you found someone else and you cant be with them anymore. Becuase the longer youa re in this relationship the more it will hurt if the other person really cares about you. But ya that is cheating andits wrong

This question is tricky. Falling in love with another person is a process. If while in a relationship, you spend time with a person very intimately allowing yourself to fall in love, that is cheating. If your partner is not giving you the time and companionship that you needed, allowing yourself to be broken and to fall out of love and have space to be filled in by another person, that is a relationship problem that needs fixing. and yes, you may also consider that as cheating in view of agreement that you are in a relationship still. fix it before they decide to leave. On the other hand, you may fall in love with another person and yet not do anything about it because you respect your partner. this is fine. love is something universal. you love someone because you found something in this person that is worthy of loving. but you may just keep it at that level without affecting your relationship. just be open to communicate and take care of the relationship you are currently in.

I think so. Maybe you haven't cheated physically, but you have cheated emotionally. If you are in a relationship and you start having feelings for another person, you should tell the person you are in the relationship with right away and not let it go further until they know. If they are willing to wait for you to explore those feelings, that's their choice, But by not telling them, it's leading them on, in my opinion

Of course that is cheating. Because to be in a relationship is to be commited to that person you did not make a commitment to love the person you are with and another. Faithfulness has to do with faithfulness of mind as well as body..you can not very much be with a person faithfully and mentally be with another..the best thing you can do is be honest with the person you are in a relationship with..break it off if you have to no fair to the person you are in relationship with..

If you've not acted on your feelings, it isn't cheating. You need to be honest and tell your current significant other that you're starting to realize that you aren't ready to commit to a relationship because you realize that you still notice others in a romantic way. One thing to remember though is that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side of the fence. The newness of another person might be what the attraction is rather than your actually falling in love, so don't be quick to commit to that person, either. You were probably too hasty to commit to your first one--which is why you were still able to become attracted enough to someone else that you no longer want to go steady. So, don't make that mistake again and end up eventually hurting your new love interest. You might end up returning to the one you're with now, so don't commit to seriously to either one and focus on being friends and see what happens.

it is, of course for allowing yourself to love another and you are in a relationship. you have to break it up and then move to the next one, to the person you love. the more you stay in a relationship loving another person you cheat yourself too.

As long as you are not involve with that new someone, I believe you are not. It is normal to get attracted or to be in love with someone other than you special someone, however you should refrain from doing things that would make the new feeling increase.

I dont get it. Why in the first place did you have a relationship when you did not want to keep it. I mean if you were not happy with the relationship why did you commint in the very first place. And if you did then there was something that was there between the two of you. And if you did fall in love with another person while in a relationship shows that you are immature for relationships and that you are a big time fraud coz you are spoiling the lives of two other people for your benefit.

Yes, I think that's cheating. Getting emotionally envolved with another person while in a relationship with another is considered to be cheating since you are not only seeing your boyfriend/husband/loved one, but seeing another man. I dont know what you consider cheating but imagine your significant other was "having a relationship" with another woman. How would you feel?

Yeah, It is, and there's the possibility of being dumped by BOTH girls if they dont know about the other o.o
