I have had this same conversation with my friends and we can't seem to have a common ground. We can't agree on what cheating is. I feel that there are different levels of cheating. For instance the is the psychical cheating then mental. Psychical is you are actually out with another person or kissing and such. Mental is you are talking to other girls/guys or are just having the thoughts you should be some where else. What are your thoughts on this?

I too believe that there are differant kinds of cheating there is the physical cheating in whear a person actually does actually have an affair with another person. Then there is the mental cheating when a person will communicate with other people, share there thoughts, goals, and intimate detailes of there lives, as though they would like to spend time with them.Then people also get on the internet go to chat rooms meet people, get to know them e-mail them, and talk intimatly to them, this too is cheating.

I think the sharing of intamint details is the worst. I mean that is something special that you share with you partner something you both have in common and to think they could share that with someone else hurts the most. Thanks for the response.

There are different kinds of cheating, but the one I'm most intimate with is mental and internet cheating. After 8 years and 2 kids, my ex started cheating on me with someone on the internet then they started calling each other. He was sharing things with her that he never shared with anyone else, not even me. So then after a few months he left me and the kids for her. Cheating is cheating, no matter what.

I have always considered cheating to be when you are doing anything that would make your partner uncomfortable with what you are doing . If they know you would not be happy and this would be very upsetting to you then you would be cheating on them as you know how they feel about it to begin with . If one is just talking to someone though and your partner just doesn't like them for no reason then I wouldn't consider this cheating as there would have to be more of a reason then you just can't talk to that person .

I agree with you. One thing I have gone through in the past is an Ex talking to a girl on the phone at all hours of the night. He couldn't tell me what they were talking about and why they couldn't talk during the day. So I considered that cheating. They my not have done anything psychical but the intentions where there.

Do you have guy friends?Does the guy have girl friends?I have plenty of guy friends and my husband has girl friends.We both agree on one thing:that if we wanted to be with those other people we would have done it long before now and things wouldn't be how they are.My guy friends are the ones I am closest to because I found out that my girl friends and even female family members were talking about me behind my back.

I did always consider cheating as breaking the normal rules , simple life rules , when we use extra ways which give us an ability that we souldn't have , or it isn't available for us for some logical raisons .. cheating can be physicly as he can be montaly ,and the damage is the seem in the both cases: Physicly , by doing some stuffs illigale as stealing , causing damages to people by an indirect way .. Montally , by putting the mind in a position contrary to that body refers to , for exemple : lying , flattering ,betraying people ( wife and husband who betray each other, a friend and his friend who denouce their secrets..) e.g. Finally , cheating can be also consider as a disease which involued with the community and which still so thought to beat .
