Do you consider Internet chatting cheating?

Answer 1

I would think it would depend on the conversation and whether or not the significant other knows about it or not

Answer 2

It can be, yes. This is what someone once told me about how to deal with friends of the opposite sex and making sure that you never cross a line: "If you are sharing things with someone other than your spouse/significant other that you wouldn't share with your spouse/significant other, then that is a form of cheating." So, depending on how intimate these conversations get, then yes, it could be cheating.

Answer 3

Is cyber sex cheating? Yes and no. Well, maybe. It depends on the situation and how each couple (the spouses not the people who cyber) defines "cheating," that “cheating” is in the mind of the individual couple. It also depends on the amount of emotional involvement you have in the act.

Are you doing it for yourself, your own gratification, mutual gratification of you and your cyber partner or are you using this to be a replacement for something that is missing from your own sex-life? These are weighty questions which need to be answered by you and possibly your husband and/or cyber friends. Finally how are you doing it, are you camming, texting/instant messaging, voice messaging/chatting?

If you are doing it for yourself, is it just for the physical release of an orgasm or that need to get off??? The need to get off is prevalent in both sexes. Men are more apt to admit it, but women too seek the joyous release of an orgasm. The endorphin release with them makes orgasms not only enjoyable but also healthy. Are you doing it for mutual gratification? So there is a physical release on both your parts, this is probably better than just for yourself, however; the issue is now if there are emotional ties therein. How do those emotions not only affect you but your spouse? Are you feeling less or more for your spouse? Is this where your guilt comes from? Those have to be analyzed by you before you, yourself, can come to a decision if this is cheating. From what you have told me (in chat) there is some attachment and looking forward to seeing “Special Indian Boy” and that attachment is what is bothering you. Have you considered talking to your hubby about it? You can talk to me if you want to use me as a sounding board. I would listen and try to give you some advice (Notice I am not saying the correct advice, as only you would know that). Finally, ask yourself, is there something missing from your sex life that this is replacing? Are you not doing it as much as you would like, not having a variety that you are missing???? Only you can answer this one, a solution could be to talk to your hubby, if it is a physical issue, then it is cleared up, if it is an emotional one, it too is cleared up. You might not want to mention the fact of having a cyber friend; just you feel something is missing if this is the answer you need.

In my opinion, chatting in and of itself is harmless, flirting is good not only for the mind but for emotions as well (We all like to be complemented). No one should be regulated in with whom they speak/chat/text, but you need to set up parameters with your cyber partner and most likely your spouse. It is hard to meet people in real life and on the net and form a friendship and not have emotion involved, but you should not want this “partner” to replace your spouse or take away time from your spouse. Some people use chatting/cybering as a type of foreplay before their spouse gets home, some use it as foreplay period. The one thing all would probably agree is it is the current safe sex format.

Answer 4

Cheating is when a married person starts ANY relationship that isn't strictly platonic, with any human not their spouse. No physical contact is required. It can be strictly mental.

Answer 5

Anything you do, involving the opposite sex, that you couldn't tell your spouse ALL ABOUT, EVERY DETAIL, is cheating.

And I never do anything that I wouldn't want my spouse to be doing - that is a good rule of thumb.
