Is this cheating?

started by Redbull2008 9 mnths ago

This is a bit long .. but 


With the internet world now is a smaller place. Faster and uninhibited communication than ever before is taking place between billions of people even as you read this. People get to know each other much faster and much better. You meet people that you would never meet otherwise. You exchange thoughts and feelings which you would reserve for someone you love and live with.
 

- Will this call for a significant change in the definition of ‘Cheating’ too!

- Is ‘keeping in touch’ over the phone with someone cheating?

- Is chatting online with an anonymous person cheating?

Several non porn net forums provide great sources of ‘meeting’ people? Yahoo/ MSN/ G Chat and so many … all great and random modes to ‘connect’ with someone you really connect well with. 

You exchange words, feelings sometimes even more than that. Does that constitute cheating on your spouse or if there is none, yet does that amount to adultery?

Is sex, sex, if its cyber? You may have any answer to suit your own value system or preferences needs, but if you were married and found your spouse, will you take the same stand as you would caught your partner in bed with another person is real? 

Will it make you feel better that they were never together physically or will you feel as betrayed and challenged as in real.  

Or will you brush it away as an online dalliance, just an offshoot of modern technology?  

 

Taking another view … if you did have full scale cyber sex with someone out of your will and no force from the other side – would you refuse or jump at a real time offline relationship?  

Yes, Why?  and whats worng?

No, Why? and what wrong?

My 2 kowrie bits - to some it is cheatin. For others - it is just a it -just-happened thing.

To me, there's nothin wrong in it as long as it doesn't ruin a family/relationship. And if it did you can start one all over again. Good fun.

i dont know about porn that is a whole diifrent prespective, but i would feel very cheated if i found my spouse chatting wiht some one let alone exchaging images nad stuff ... ithink that when a person decidedes to go astray it just takes a start and from then on one thing leads to another.....

what do you say about visual stimulus is that not betrayal, we all know htat htere are better men/women out htere then our husbands and wifes but we cannot seek satisfaction or joy out of htat.
we flirt when we are single... i guess that is what most of the people do

Boy... you are on a mission...aren't you - digging up all old threads and posts??????

Let us keep it simple, humble, and contemporary:

Cheating is cheating if you think so

or if you want to be harsh

Cheating is cheating if you think your partner doing the same is cheating.

exchange of words, in any form, consumes time and emotion. those who love you, and or depend on your well being, want to keep you away from any such exchanges. they think you're cheating if you give your time and emotion to someone else. it isn't the question of right or wrong. its a question of love.

balak...love?

haha

why are u so posessive...if someone gives their time and emotion to chatting your "love" will fly out of teh window..

what kinda love is it? bollywood style?

  balakdas posted Re:Is this cheating? on 9 mnths ago

any love that doesn't kill the lover isn't love. it's that kind :)

  denice _menace posted Re:Is this cheating? on 9 mnths ago
balak..there are no lovers today who could kill their lovers by their love..there is no love that kills lovers by it's nature..

red bull,

this is such an excellent  topic .

im surprised there aren't enough replies or concerns .

im not sure  ..but i think it is cheating ..
it.happens in the mind  ..only the mind ... so more forceful and dangerous than real life cheating  .

what about my deeply profound reply?

Thanks Jaijui and Blade for the responses. I will try to be brief ..

Blade,

You made an assumption of attaching the question with person that asked it. Made it seem like my public confession of a private situation. I am not commenting on whether I have gone through it or not - but the question was certainly not related to my personal life. Situations like this are somewhat common among users of internet even though few would go on the roof top and say " I done it" The anonymity provided by the internet encourages the person to give vent to some inner desires - no matter how inconsequential these might be in her or his real life. 

Coming to your opinion, I leave it to the members on the board to debate whether the need to chat is a result of something lacking in the relationship. I know the fastest response is to say yes.. but then how does one explain the fast growing adult hobby called Coupes on Cam. And I am not talking of professional escorts but normal real couples who take the same train as we do and who would never give such a impression at, say, the work place and who enjoy a normal relationship.
 
So, while thanking you for the response, I guess the question and its answer is far beyond the limits of evaluating a relationship.
 
Jiajui
Thanks again. The fact that you called this “such an excellent topic” encourages me to think that IT IS A SUBJECT – which is what I wanted to convey.
I am not highly surprised that there aren't enough response – which to mind is due the same acts I mentioned above. I am sure there are many readers who relate it somewhere to their own life but don’t feel like talking about it or want to read some more before they open up. I am taking it forward to help them open up and I am sure they will.
I like you not being sure but giving an opinion that you think it is cheating. Whether it is cheating or not is what my question was and both answers are equally acceptable to me.
Readers
Please respond freely – because this is not the last question I have here on the subject.

It is not so much a question of cheating. If you feel the need to chat a lot with someone you think you feel closer to than your spouse, then there is something basically lacking in your relationship. There is no need to label it "cheating" or "immoral".
What you should ask yourself is why you are driven to do that? 
If I were truly in love with my wife (there is none yet - for the hot women reading this :)) I would not be interested in sharing romantic moments with someone else. I would not even feel bored enough to get on to chat.
There is no right or wrong. There are only people and relationships between them. Evaluate yours.

aah  blade,
come to the point ..its difficult to pin you down     sweetie         why  ?
