Is it cheating?

Question

Is excepting jewlery from a married man cheating...specially if you are married? I believe it is what do you think?

Answer 1

I wouldn't say it's cheating but it sure can lead there....

Answer 2

It would depend on the relationship between the two persons.. I wouldn't say accepting jewlery would be cheating. But if there is emotions involved and more going on then yes.

Answer 3

I suppose "excepting Jewerly" really wouldn't be a crime, but I'm still a little vague on what that is.
Now ACCEPTING jewerly from a married man is a lure for an affair, 99 times out of 100...and I'm still thinking what that possible 1% EXCEPTION could be.

Answer 4

Not cheating....I would never accept jewelry from a married man being that I am married as well. Not a good idea.

Answer 5

Not cheating, yet. Accepting gifts of that nature is giving him the wrong idea. It really isn't a good idea to allow men to give expensive or romantic gifts to you when you are married, they might think that you are their girlfriend then.

Answer 6

It is not cheating, unless you and this other married man are in a committed relationship outside of your marriages

Answer 7

i think theres more here there has to be some connection between you and him for him to just give you some jewlery or maybe hes trying to seduce you so he can cheat with you.

Answer 8

Expecting jewelry from a married man? Who does that?

Answer 9

You are excepting jewlery from a married man? Or did you mean ACCEPTING? They are two different words...figure out which one you want to use then ask the question again.

Answer 10

If my husband accepted jewelry from another woman I would have 2 wonder y. So, yep, I'm gonna go w/ it being suspect of cheating.

Answer 11

Cheating, to me, is only when you have intimacy with another person while you are in a relationship. I would have to wonder though as to why he is giving you jewelry if there isn't someting goign on between you.
