What Is Cheating? And what is Ok?

Well. Depends how complex you get. I mean i actually met my partner on World of Warcraft before we met up in real life. I don't know whether i'm just harsh, but i like to have a person all to myself, and everything you wrote above... well i'd say it's sort of cheating. Other then playing the game with the person, but the whole flirting stuff etc.. That's just me though.

I think cheating ultimately is doing something about it - meaning physically, but I also think there are levels of things that are unacceptable to me. For example, if I knew my husband had a close friendship with another woman and was confiding in her in a way he wasn't in me, I would be hurt. To say there is no such thing as cheating is rubbish - I am married and to say I don't expect my husband to be committed only to me cheapens the whole idea of it.

well the first one isnt cheating you cant help how you feel about someone. but on line if you are saying things such as in a flirting way is wrong. if you kiss another on the lips or touch them well you are in an relationship its wrong. but however i do have female friends and i do give them hugs and a kiss on the cheeks only that is ok, i make sure my wife meets all and any female friends

A kiss is not cheating if it is just a peck on the lips. Tonguing someone and lusting after them is pretty much cheating in my eyes. However, if it was a one time thing and the person was able to control themselves then I'd give them a pass. I think it would mean they really love their spouse.

Very good topic. First off I want to say I really dont have a clear cut answer for you. I have been in gaming for the last 5 years in virtual type worlds. I enjoy it and have alot of fun expressing my creative side. I have learned alot about myself and others ive met. This has been a good thing and a bad thing and I often wonder how its indirectly effected my marriage which didnt have a good solid fountain to begin with. My thinking on this subject over the last 5 years has changed. In the beginning I though oh geesh get real its only online and no physical contact so no its not cheating. That type of thinking changed %100 from then to now. Online flirting is really honestly the same as doing it in person, the emotions are there they are the same. This over time can lead a person to a very difficult place in their life, ive been there ive expeinced it! Ok so it doesnt happen with all people but if you meet the right match with another person and your real life is shakey its very diffcult to keep the boundaries up and separate, an emotion affair can be very intense! The connection can be so instense that the lines between real life and your online life can be blurred and consume you. My point is your online life effects your real life and if it effects your marriage then its cheating in the way i think of it. This is just me and how I have lived it. I find it really interesting to read others views about this.

In my opinion, cheating is related to how your perception of things work. I mean if you fell guilty about something you've done or don't fell confident about telling it to your boyfriend/husband/whatever, I believe this is cheating, what ever you kissed, flirted or played online. There shouldn't be secrets among couples you know?
