When is flirting cheating?
Posted: 7/30/2007 7:14:58 PM
whenever it's done behind your Parnters back with no intention
of Letting them know...it's decietful. maybe not characterized
as cheating, it' still taking a part of you away from your s/o that should
be shared with him/her. Some people say that couples need friends
seperatly and yes to some degree, i agree, but you should never do something
behind your s/o's back, that you wouldn't want them to know about.
just TOO disrespectful in My eyes, no matter how jealous the other one gets.
if the little green dragon rears it's ugly head then communication is in order
to figure out the why between you.

so basicly...behind thier back....yes it's cheating!!

IMHO

when you have to hide something from your partner because you know its wrong...just like you know its wrong before you posted this. all you want to hear is one or some of us justify it as being ok so you can continue without guilt..

If you love someone and have someone that loves you back, why flirt online?
It is disrespectful to the person that loves You.
Why don't you rekindle the sparks that were what got you married in the first place and maybe you won't feel the need for reciprocation from a stranger.
Just my opinion.

Maybe he's not happy in his current situation for various reasons. You don't know his situation so don't hold it against him.

Maybe he should let her "messaround" as well, and see how "he" likes it....

I truly believe cheating begins in the mind, If I'm in a relationship and I'm flirting, I ask myself What are my intentions? Is it just for laughs? Is it to maybe cheer the person up? If I'm flirting, and go home with the flirtee on my mind, then maybe I need to evaluate the relationsip I'm in.

Flirting is cheating under three scenarios, which generally hold true in any sort of monogamous relationship:

(1) the behavior is something the flirter and his/her partner has discussed or is generally understood beforehand as inappropriate
(2) the behavior is intended to be more than a flirt, i.e. it implies developing intimacy outside of the relationship
(3) the behavior is understood by the flirtee as such that implies intimacy

(3) means be careful who you flirt with, as it can get you in trouble either at work, with your friends, and/or with your partner.

It's really that simple. Use some common sense people.

Just ask yourself - would you be comfortable doing/saying these things if she was right there? If not (which I suspect is the case) then... it maybe not fall under the category of cheating if explicit definitions are used but it becomes deceitful and immoral. so theres my 2cents. get

I'm lazy, I scrolled thru a lot of these answers.

Flirting is soooo much FUN! I flirt with the waiter when I'm out to dinner with my guy. I flirt with some men at work! The garbage man! I flirt with the old man who stops to pet my dog. It wouldn't be a stretch to say I even flirt with women. It's healthy & fun, makes everyone feel good. And you know what, when I flirt, I'm not thinking, "Hey, potential lover!", I'm not really thinking at all. It's kind of like saying to them: "You're valuable and I notice you."

Lighten up! Maybe if everyone flirted, we'd all be a little happier. Make it a daily quest - flirt with at least one person a day.

OP, if you're talking dirty, making suggestions or plans to people you're talking to here, then that's CHEATING, not flirting. Big difference.

well there is a line to cross where flirting becomes cheating.usually when u start chatting in a way that shows lack of respect for your partner.when u start chatting the same way with the opposite sex as if u were single.

Depends on the partner. If it's NOT cheating, then there is no problem telling the person is there? But if your partner would have a problem with it, i.e. you feel the need to hide the behavior - then it's cheating to at least some degree.

And, the rest of the OP... Kinda depends. I'd talk it out with the other person involved in the relationship, myself. If I'm worried I'm pushing the envelope, I'm going to want to figure out where the line is, so I don't cross it, you know? And, if my idea of "the line" is different from hers, I'm gonna do my damnedest to figure out a compromise, such that I'm not stuck constantly monitoring myself with regard to changing my personality, and she's not feeling shafted that I'm "playing" her by chillin' with other ladies. Big thing is talkin' about it, as far as I'm concerned.

My ex was a flirt, flirted with every female he came in contact with, it truly didn't bother me because he always went home with me. Well, guess what, he is now living with one of these women he was so "innocently" flirting with on the internet. Of course now he's begging for a 2nd chance with me (still living with the other woman) but there's a better chance for Bill Clinton to be completely faithful than for me to ever be with him again.

If you want to stay in your current relationship, you best start flirting with her before it's too late for you too.

Feels to be that you have one foot out the door by testing the water with illicit net flirting. Think about if the flirting is diverting attention from your marriage and off line life. Make sure you are fully aware of your motivation or the other foot is surely to follow.

I agree with a previous post.....if a person is "flirting"...and they're keeping it a secret from their "permanent partner"........then you have to question their motives. If it is INNOCENT....then they shouldn't mind their partner knowing EXACTLY what they are doing...and with whom.

shyguyjohnny~

flirting with someone other then your mate when you are in a committed relationship IS a form of cheating.

you have to hide it from her right?

you couldn't do it in front of her right?

she would be mad or hurt if you did this in front of her right?

then it's wrong, and though not physically cheating it is still lying... in that it is a lie of omission. it is something that you have to hide and that she does not know about. that is a lie of omission and it creates secrets between you. you are doing this behind her back so to speak and she doesn't know about it. there is no justifying it. it is what it is.

you need to knock it off, get honest with yourself, and decide if you really want to be in the relationship or not. that is where you are at - doubt. do you want to hurt this girl? well, if not you certainly are going to if you don't get real with yourself AND with her.
