is it considered cheating fantasizing about someone else?

Question

cant keep someone of my mind and he keeps telling me the same

Answer 1

It is not cheating until you act on your actions.

Answer 2

Is Fantasizing Cheating

Answer 3

Well fantasizing is good for some things. Ex. If you are married and are having sex with you husband and you can't climax, fantasizing at that moment, to have you climax is OK. So long as you are not wanting to do the fantasy with the fantasized person. If you fantasize and it makes you change your life and others get hurt, Then it is not good.

On the spiritual note, I believe that it is said that if you think it you have committed it.

How ever It sounds like the person you are fantasizing about is a third person, other that the one you are with.

My two cents.. Be care full. Hope this helps. Will.

Answer 4

Fantasizing is exactly that - it seems though that it has become something of a flirtation as you and he are talking about your attraction to one another. Be careful, there is a very fine line that you cross when it becomes cheating. If he is fulfilling any need you have that you are not getting at home (this doesn't have to be sexual - quite often it's emotional which makes it more dangerous and disconcerting) then perhaps it's time to have a talk with your other half about what you're feeling and what's missing - at least give him a chance to see if he wants to get things back on track with your relationship - it's obviously not healthy or you wouldn't be talking and flirting with another man. Give your partner the option of opting out instead of cheating on him - it's much more humane.

Answer 5

There are people that fantasize about celebrites, or they have a crush on someone, it seems harmless, it's wrong if you are going to act on it, that is what I call a dirty little secret that gets out of hand. I think if you have a mutual attraction between two people, you should end your current relationship before going forward, as cheating could be the next step. Be careful as it can be quite dangerous emotionally as the imagination can do wild things.

Answer 6

Regardless of what others may say, simple fantasizing is NOT cheating.

Regarding fantasy, Helen Fisher ("The First Sex," Ballantine Books, Feb. 2000) says that 71 percent of men and 72 percent of women fantasize while having sex with a partner. Men fantasize about conquest and domination, women about submission and surrender.

Dr. Joyce Brothers says, "It might relieve some of your guilt to know that many happily married individuals who have no thought or intention of ever betraying their spouse have sexual fantasies about someone other than their spouse."

Answer 7

No it is not cheating because I have a boyfriend and we look at other people all the time fantasizing what it is like being together with them.

Answer 8

Fantasizing is NOT cheating. You can not cheat all by yourself. Someone else must be involved in some fashion or another for cheating to occur. (in person, on the phone, e-mail, text messaging, etc)

Answer 9

Fantasizing and discussing feelings is a different. We all fantasize but fantasy is private sought not shared with a subject of fantasy, for example having sex with the stranger or movie star. What you describe is closer to emotional infidelity sharing sexual feeling with someone then your spouse. An emotional affairs differs from a physical affair in that it is not initiated for simple sex. Emotional affairs are often initiated when one spouse is not receiving emotional support from the other spouse and seek fulfillment from another person. Emotional affairs are often viewed as being as devastating to a relationship as an affair that involves only sex. However, some argue that emotional affairs are more devastating to relationships because even though many relationships can survive when one party is not being sexually fulfilled, most cannot survive when one of the parties are not having their emotional needs met.

in theory there's nothing wrong with a little fantasy as long as you keep it to yourself, in your own head. we all do it, whether it be over someone famous, the person you saw in the supermarket, a person at work, whomever. it sounds as though you've gone beyond that boundary, and discussed your attraction/fantasy with the person involved. this is more than innocent fantasizing, you're now into the realms of flirting, and if the feelings are reciprocated you're heading down a dangerous road as it can be all too easy to find things becoming physical. flirting, in and of itself, isn't cheating as such ... and many people have a flirtatious nature that's just part of who they are, myself included ... however when it becomes more than just casual flirting, and closer to "you're hot, i think about what i'd like to do to you", that's not innocent or casual. flirting of that nature, whilst not 'cheating', is certainly disloyal and that can be almost as bad as infidelity. you know, you can be arrested and sent to prison just for conspiring to kill someone, you don't actually have to do it ... and just because you don't sleep with your crush doesn't mean what you're doing is "OK". you're definitely on shaky ground here, and can't absolve your guilt with semantics ... being disloyal in a relationship is 'cheating' in way, as you're betraying the trust.
