Would you want your partner to do what this guy says is ok? This question is for both women and men.

Answer 1

cheating is cheating and that's how relationships end

Answer 2

I read most of the article. I personally don't think that there is anything wrong with flirting.I've been with the same man for seven years and we both flirt all the time. Just because a person flirts it does not mean that they are cheating.Now if they are flirting in order to open up a second relationship then they are'nt ready for one to begin with, they should be single or with a swinger.
When you flirt with either a pretty or not so pretty person it boosts both spirits!!!!!!

Go ahead give it a try...... It brings more happiness then confusion.

Answer 3

Take it from someone who knows! Men are genetically programmed to check out others who are attractive. Everyone is different. I'm thinking it is testosterone that stimulates the desire to seek a mate. There may be a marriage commitment and a satisfaction with a mate but that will not stop a man from looking at a hot chick that walks by. Only if a man trains his mind to pull his attention away does it work and most men will not attempt this self mastery. So lets give humans a chance to be human. Let someone look but don't touch would be my advise. Flirting is ok but can lead to more.
If you are looking for a man who does not look and does not flirt once in a while, then you have a chore ahead of you.
Hugging someone with a friendly jester is ok. Kissing on the mouth to me is a act of sexual contact and depending on how terratorial you are, you may approve or disapprove. For me it's a no no. Watching your mate dance with someone else is ok but when they start to paw each other and do the dirty dance thing, that is just more than I can deal with. I think someone who is committed to you does not have their heart set on you if they need to experience someone else in an intimate way. As for the office, well you have to trust your mate or it will drive you crazy. Trust them until you find out different and if you do, the trust is broken and most times will not mend, give them their walking papers and move on. As for a guy going to a strip club. Something is lacking in this man if that is a need. He may be satisfied with you but needs more stimulation or more sex than you can give him.
Same goes for women. hummm what about the chip and Dales? Well, it used to be the men that were sneaking off to the strip clubs, now the women are doing their thing as well.
So lets just be real here. If you are possessive or if you get jealous and (I like to call all this territorial) , then you really need to consider being a Non, seeking an old guy for a mate above 60, or a ball and chain for your man or women.
You cannot watch or control people. People cheat because they desire to. They do it subconsciously for lessons. You have to trust someone because you are hurting and making yourself miserable if you don't. If someone will step over the line and meet someone behind your back to play, then they are not in my opinion worth the time to be with. I would rather be alone and happy than be with a cheater. There is temptation in the world and that will not change. If you have a mate who is loyal, then God bless you. But don't try to put blinders on people and control them. Now here comes the preaching! Trust in God to guide your life. Ask for the best that is good for you. If that person goes wondering, then consider it to be the best thing for you. This is where your faith will see you through hard times and later you will realize, that person had to move on out of your life for something better to come into yours.

Answer 4

It is natural for men and women to look at the opposite sex. That is human nature. If it goes beyond that, touching, kissing and sex, then I would consider that cheating, unless both parties are ok with it, as in your partner and you are ok with it. I personally wouldn't touch a married man nor someone that is in a relationship. That is just my preferance. I am single, so I would expect the same thing in a guy. Single or divorced. I wouldn't even go out with a guy that is separated, there is a 50/50 chance that guy may go back to his g/f or wife. I wouldn't want my partner to touch, kiss, or have sex with a woman if I was in a relationship. Looking I wouldn't mind. Like I said it is human nature.

Answer 5

lol that is a lot to read and a old issue. I have read that already lol. I'm a news freak. Anyway, Its only cheating when you and your partner don't agree on it. Period. If she says its OK to stare at another women while she is with you that is not cheating. If he/she says its OK to go on a date with the opposite sex then its not cheating. Its cheating when you step out of the bounds of what the both agree upon

Answer 6

as the ex-husband of a cheating wife, I can say that it doesn't really matter what you think. If your partner is going to cheat, he or she is going to cheat. It all depends on what is in your partners heart and mind. And to add confusion to that, this sometimes changes over time.

Take it to the coronary heart and save it there so which you will no longer decrease to rubble next time. i'm hoping this helped. solid luck!

Answer 8

it depends on your definition of flirting. i consider flirting to be strictly verbal and nothing else. the majority of the time, i dont consider flirting to be cheating, but its still wrong. i wouldnt leave my man if i caught him flirting with someone, but i would be pissed off as hell and hurt too. we would have some serious problems if that happened. now if the conversation happens to become inappropriate or sexual in nature, YES thats cheating and for me personally, thats grounds for breakup because it means i cant trust you.
