So what do YOU consider cheating?

[IMPORTchic]

Honestly, I know I will be critiqued for this... but I would be more inclined to forgive sexual/physical encounter more so than emotional. I think that one hurts the most. When nothing has happened yet, but he spends more time talking to the other female... Ugh. I consider it cheating when you desire someone, and not just a fleeting desire but one that you think of often and is attainable.

That is some real shit right there. Time wasters should kick boulders.

I see it as this: A desire, mental or physical, of another person while engaged in a committed relationship with someone else. Included, but not limited to: Intercourse (any), kissing, holding hands, touchy feely, gazing into eyes, phone sex, interwebz loving, etc.

Both of ya'll are right!! Emotional is WAYYY worse than physical....

I would KILL a dude if he cheated on me though and I had involved myself for soooo long and was in love and attached. THat is just wrong. If you are not happy enough with someone in the first place to even contemplate cheating then you just need to break up with them before hand. I have been in a situation once in my life where I was just casually dating someone and could not quit thinking about another person....SO....I left the person I was dating for the person that I obviously was falling in love with!

No since in living a lie.....if you want to hoe around, just do it, but on someoen elses time or better yet your OWN!
