I'm trying to convince my friend that it is cheating emotionally
2007-05-26 20:05:55 · update #1
Thanks everyone. I need to show him the opinion of other people. He is talking to this girl he met in college and she's married. He tries to justify it by saying she's not happy. I'm about ready to rip my hair out.

"He tries to justify it by saying she's not happy."
LOL that is a dumb justification because that means to him that if she was happy in her marriage then it would be cheating.
whether or not a married person is happy or not, the person IS married.
when you are unhappy in a marriage you don't go off and start going outside of the marriage and having an emotional relationship with someone else!
You work on the marriage, or if it just doesn't work, then you end it. You don't base on leaving or not leaving on whether or not you have found someone else.

Text message relating to sexual relationship, or agreement for any sexual relationship in future, or discussing any past sexual relationship between the parties, or fixing any place for meeting for sexual relationship all such amounts to a evidence that can be used in any case where the cheating in the matrimonial relationship or adultery is a ground taken by the other party in the marriage. Although such text messages will not direct show any adultery or cheating but they will show the very circumstances that leads to the conclusion that an act of adultery of cheating was done by the party indulging in such text messaging.

Yes, it is cheating emotionally because they're investing time with another person that's if its more than friends. A friend of mine caught her ex-husband when she checked his phone and he had all these text messages from another woman. It just happened to be he was having an affair outside the marriage. Tell your friend to watch out!

Yes, texting between two people can be considered cheating depending on what the content of the text.
A good rule of thumb:
Would you do what you are doing if your BF/GF/Spouse was standing right behind you and looking over your shoulder? No? Stop doing it, it is wrong. Yes? Continue on and have a good time.

Ask her how she would feel if she read his IMs to another girl that were like that, ask her how her BF would feel if he read them. Cheating is a matter of perspective everyone knows what they consider cheating, but there is no clearcut line everyone sees the same way. If she can look at it with an honest eye and say she believes it's okay then you aren't going to be able to change her mind.

Depends what are in the messages. If he never plans on meeting her and is just giving advice then I would say no.
When I was younger I had a married women who would email me and ask me advice. I would tell her about my dates, she would tell me about married life. Sometimes she complained about her husband, but she was happy in her marriage. We never met, never planned on meeting. I did not consider that we were cheating.
Is it cheating if a friend of the opposite sex is talking to you about their unhappy marriage? it shouldn't matter whether it is electronically or in person. I think intent is the key.

If you hide this from your partner it is cheating. If your partner can accept the fact that there is obviously something missing in your relationship and can also accept that you are looking somewhere else, then it is honesty and not cheating. As long as it does not involve lying or hiding, it isn't cheating. It is obvious that you feel you or your partner are cheating, so to you, it is cheating.

Yeah, that's cheating. A relationship is a relationship, and more than one is generally cheating.
I had a friend who thought it was okay to have phone sex with a girl who had a boyfriend. He came up with exuse after exuse, but never answered me when I asked how he would feel if he were the guy.

For me.. i feel it is.. only cuz i consider anything concernin intrests to another as cheating. But its entirely up to the person. I have lots of friends who DO NOT consider flirtin online or whatever the case may be, to be cheating but I DO. So i guess what one thinks is cheating is exactly what they think. Just make sure whoeva ur wid has da same exact views as you otherwise theres gonna be lots of probs!!! LOL

It is cheating because you are putting your time, thoughts and energy into another relationship. It is disloyal and takes your heart away from the one you are supposed to be with.
If there is a problem with the current relationship - which obviously there is - either work on fixing it or move on!
