You ever notice how the catch 22 can catch up with you rather quickly. The definition of cheating varies from person to person. Some people think flirting is cheating, others think it is just the act of intercourse. My definition of cheating is a bit simpler. I believe it is saying or doing something with some one else that you would not say infront of your partner. So if you are an encourageable flirt and your partner knows it, and you don't hide it or take it seriously, then it isn't cheating, but if you have an emotional relationship, and say things to someone that you wouldn't want your partner hear, then you are cheating, because you are betraying their trust. Is that going too far?? Should it simply be the act of monogomy is the only trust you need?? That it shouldn't matter what they say to others as long as it isn't ended with a meet and greet at the local Motel 6?

Hi Kyndle.
¿
I agree with you on the cheating parts.¿ The other person is cheating their partner of bonding time.¿ IF they are "bonding" with another behind their partners back.¿ IF they are in a commited relationship and both have agreed to be monogomous.
¿
Cheating can be very subjective for each of us and I thing it's important to define it to a potential partner. If pen-pal time cheating?¿ Is blogging cheating?¿ Flirting in person? IM'ing on line till the wee hours of night?¿ Cheating the other person of time.
Office flirting?¿ Does this sort of flirting get out of hand sometimes? Can it evolve into something that ends up in something one has no way to get out of?¿
My concept of flirting is the one that can lead to a secret.¿
¿
Nat

I have a very outgoing personality and I think sometimes it can be misconstrued as flirting. I do agree with you though that if you do something you wouldn't want your partner to know about then it is cheating....otherwise you would tell that person. A person can have an "affair" without actually having a sexual relationship....it's still cheating.

Totally agree with you here ... if you would not do it or want your partner to know about it ... it is cheating.

Do think that we should take the time to define what this means for everyone at the start of a relationship, might stop a few broken hearts.



Life is only as wonderful as you think it is.

I'm a HUGE flirt, but when I'm in a relationship I curb it. I direct that energy towards the person that has my heart. Not to say I don't accidently flirt because it happens, but my "other" would understand.
