what constitutes cheating on a spouse?

Answer 1

Heh, if you're contemplating cheating on your spouse I'd highly suggest filing divorce papers right now. I'm not going to tell you it's morally wrong or any of that bullsh*t, but its silly. Why would you be married to someone if you're going to go off and f*ck someone else? Kinda eradicates the whole concept of marriage, don't ya think?

And by the way, Its cheating if its physical or emotional in any way.

Answer 2

Dating another person who is not your spouse, with or without having sexual relations. Sharing personal information with another about your spouse, or even having a relationship over the internet with someone and hiding it from your spouse. Cheating can be either having physical relations with another or having an emotional relationship with another for which your spouse does not know about.

Answer 3

Doing something that you wouldn't dare say or do in front of your spouse of a sexual nature. If you feel your spouse is going to be upset about telling them about the incident...most likely then it is cheating. Cheating can be just emotional cheating....just physical cheating... or both.

Answer 4

any kind of sexual contact with a member of the opposite or same sex other than your spouse constitutes cheating. Kissing, touching, feeling, even sex talk to another person is cheating. Infidelity is unforgivable, too many diseases, too much drama.

Answer 5

If you have to ask....it probably is considered cheating.

Obsessing over the other person to the exclusion of your real responsibilities. Bringing a distraction into the household that causes financial, emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual problems for the spouse.

Many people consider internet relationships a form of "cheating"...even when the people haven't met face-to-face.

Answer 6

It may be a fling,or one time cheater,and may lead to affairs. My opinion is the degrees on how long? and how far?? but regardless cheating is cheating,AND if remember to always say " WOULD I LIKE IT? ,IF THE ACTION WAS DONE TO ME....NO!! so i always put myself in their shoes and re-frame from any misconduct or regrets. Anything physical is cheating!!! Young adults be honest with yourself and others.Feelings change,couples grow different directions,tell them make understand,you want more out of life..instead of all childish and immature and f**k-up excuses one hides, behind.Tell the truth..get it.. got.. good...and move on..

Answer 7

Some would say actual action.


Some would say merely the thought.


Personally, I believe to like is human. To get attracted is expected of social beings. But to act on that attraction, in any physical way, means you've decided to set aside your commitment to your partner for that moment, which already means your cheating on your partner.

Answer 8

*Talking about your relationship with your wife to another woman.
* Checking her out, or whislting or saying anything that has to do with her looks.
* emails, txt, internet chat rooms, work email
* Having actual sexual relations
* Thinking about it
* Talking about it
* Setting somone else on the side,
Basicaly if yor intersted in thinking about the opp s*x or doing somehting or thinking about somone particular is cheating, if you want more than youve got, get out now. Before you hurt someone, or less importantly, if you want extra, dont take your wife down with you, thats not fair

Answer 9

Anything that you purposefully HIDE from your spouse equals cheating.
Because if you already know your spouse is ok with it, you wouldn't HIDE IT.

Answer 10

cheating to me would be Kissing someone else besides your spouse, spending time w/ someone besides your spouse, or buying stuff for someone else, or having relationships w./ someone that is not you partner
