Do you treat it as cheating?

I would think it is cheating if they are flirting with someone else on the internet. I would wonder what I wouldn't be able to give them that they have to spend their time on the internet with someone else.

I think it's cheating but would go a step further and call it "emotional" cheating. In my opinion, you don't necessarily have to have a physical relationship with someone to cheat. There's nothing wrong with having online friends but to me, if you're in a relationship with someone there is a line you just do not cross, period. I would be very hurt if I walked in and saw my fiance flirting in a chat room with someone (then I would get extremely mad). Lucky for me he doesn't like p o r n so, I have no worries about that.

it will be difficult to say that it is actually cheating. but i agree with you if they will do that then they are just showing that they are not happy with the relationship or with their partner. but i don't think that there is any one who could be a perfect partner for us. cause no one will be able to give every thing that we are looking for so there is always some chance that any person will try to flirt with some one but may not take that seriously and will just treat as fun. i think as long as the relationship is just online and they will not see each other specially if they are only from same place. i will surely want to have assurance that it is just for some fun and nothing more and that the partner is not totally in love with the person online and just only some fling but still it some form of cheating in my own view. but i guess iam be guilty of the same thing sometimes and so i must not be so critical if i caught my partner doing that with other people.

Anything that will make my other half or spouse not happy, it will be considered cheating for me. I have never seen any man who will like his wife to meet people online and chat them and flirt with them and yet the spouse does not have any reactions, maybe the other half was a stone? Yes, seriously, if this is not going to be healthy in a relationship, then why should you do it in the first place, why not develop your communication with your spouse more instead of knowing other people online. Why not give time to know his like and dislikes than to give time for such chat to strangers and laugh about it. For me, and as i repeat again, my own opinion, i would never be happy into "getting to know" strangers online when i don't even know my hubby well.

i dont think it is cheating unless you attach strings to it then it becomes cheating. i might be so friendly with someone on the internet on a platonic basis but once i start having something to do with that person then, uyou can call it cheating

Yes and no. I mean any kind of flirting whether it's online or in the real world can be insulting to your relationship. But it depends on the degree. So the intention behind it and all that is what makes the difference whether it's cheating or not. Also if it's some random people on a forum you barely know that's nothing to worry about (IMO) but if it's the same person over and over again, I'd be worried.

Yeah, I think it is cheating if you flirt on the internet. Flirting is flirting no matter if it is in person on on the internet. If an action will cause pain to some else. Than yes...it can be a fom of cheating in a round about way.

yes, if you are already attached to someone else, flirting in the internet is also like flirting with someone face to face. the intention is there, whatever the means of flirting is.

if i had a husband, live-in or whatever [which i don't] i wouldn't want him flirting w/anyone anywhere. if they'd do it once place they'd do it anyplace.

Yes,I agree with you. I think it's not good to flirting with strangers on the internet. It's cheating and let his or her lover feels bad,and may affect their relationship. At the same,if someone is plunged this kind of cheating love,he or she will be hurt by another person.In a word, I don't support this modus operandi.

Hi lotter iam confused after reading your discussion ,as earlier i used to think that it is ok ,i mean its just for a change ,but now after reading your pont of view even i think that it is not correct ,one is not satisfied with th eloved ones company that is why they are searching for the new and interesting companies here overnet. happy my lotting

In my opinion flirting with people on the internet it depends to people does it. maybe he/she want to talk to someone needs companion to help her/him about the problem he/she incountered or just want to have fun but not to commitment from them. Some say's they do it cause they want to have friend on the internet, they say's having friend there are not equally flirting but it's exporing their side to people they didn't know. in my side, im chatting to the people i've been never knowed but it's not for flirting i want to ease my stressed in my work in my problem i ask them how should i react anout that then they given me effectively adviced. I knowed if your loveone knowing it he'she cannot understand why we do it he/she hurt. but we need to try to explain from them why..? thanks for this. happy my looting!!

Personal idea, i agreed with you that it's so kind of cheating. But it also have to depends on the different situations. If he/she just flirt around for a while and relax the strees from the real world, as long as i did not know it, i think i am fine with that. but if things getting worse, and it's affecting our relationship, i will be mad on it.

Ya , flirting in internet is virtual happiness. I think it is not healthy and not good for your mental strength. When your partner in the internet leaves you , you will feel psychologically affected.

Yes its cheating as you don't feel and mean what you are saying, because you are not face to face. Cheating is cheating if it is on the net or in the neighborhood.I would definitely oppose this sort of activity which may harm personal relationship.

I think you have to look at the people involved. Some people need more attention then they can get from just one person, it's not necessarily a serious thing, I think it's more of a game. It often shows up as teasing. My husband is a terrible tease and I am often the target, I don't mind sharing this part of him.

I agree with you on that.Its a kind of cheating.If your lover doesnt think so,watch his reaction if you do it on purpose,mind him you're not happy about that just like him.

only people can actually do. provided that does not interfere with other people.

No, I don'y maybe emotionally f it gets to mthat level..but I wouldn't treat it like cheating. I would treat it as doing something wrong though..justnot as strong as cheating. It's stupid to flirt with someone you've never met. And if it's someone you know and you're committed to someone else then there's a problem. The same with texting.

Flirting with people on internet is the worst cheating as many do get serious with that. So I don't trust anyone on internet. If you are happy with one you don't need anyone else even for timepass sake. Such people bluff both even the partners they are having and even the ones they are bluffing on net.
