chatting on the internet is it cheating?

Answer 1

In my opinion, an affair of the heart is often worse than an affair of the body.

Yeah, cheating is cheating, no matter what spin you put on it.

Answer 2

It depends on what the chatting is about and how you view cheating. For some people cheating is actually physically doing something. For other it is just thinking about it. For me, if you are chatting on the Internet having cyber sex, or whatever the hell the call it now, then yes it is cheating b/c you are sitting there doing it in your mind. But, everyone has their own opinions and that's just mine.

Answer 3

Yes if it is sexual or flirting or romantic in nature, if you spend more time or as much time with someone online as you do with your significant other or spouse, and/or if you are giving someone on line the attention and emotional energy that should go to your partner.

If you would not say what you say with your partner in the room watching you chat, then you are having an emotional affair. If you and your partner have an agreement, spoken or not, about this being cheating, then you are cheating.

Answer 4

Depends, lets say you think that by him chatting on the internet with people it is cheating in your eyes. But what about you asking this question on the internet. It is another form of chatting, so is this cheating.
I think chatting is ok to an extent, as long as they are not sending photos, planning on meeting. As long as that happends it is just harmless fun.
Truth is you really have to trust your significant other. I trust mine 100%, chatting on the internet would not bother me. I just see no reason to get upset over it.

Answer 5

If your spouse has no idea that it's going on and/or doesn't know the person..yes
If you are talking about inappropriate subject matter..yes
If you have more than a feeling of being friends..yes
If your spouse walked in the room and you wouldn't want them to know...yes
Generally if you have to ask..yes
Turn the situation around and if you (if you are asking for yourself) would be uncomfortable with your spouse doing the same things then it is probably cheating or on the way to be.

Answer 6

Yeah...it is if you talk to them without your spouse knowing what kind of talk that is. Is it a friendly conversation or something else. What do you think I'm heading for a divorce for? Don't make a mistake like others do. Internet breaks too many hearts, marriages, and family

Answer 7

It depends on who they are chatting with. If you feel like you have to close down the internet box if your partner walks in "cheating in the mind is taking place" because you shouldnt have to hide things. If you talk sexually "of course this is unappropriate".

Answer 8

Emotionally, yes. If a person does this that means something is "missing" in their life and they are looking to fill a void. There are better ways to do that. Talk to a trusted friend about this and come up with a better solution to your boredom and/or emptiness. Especially talk to your spouse about your unmet needs but remember to be realistic - a spouse cannot meet every need in your life. That is what friends are for - if you are a man - that means men friends, if you are a women - that means women friends.

That's how a mature adult would deal with the problem(s) you are dealing with.

Good luck.

Answer 9

Perhaps not, but by definition, seeking out someone other than your mate for connection, fun, entertainment, titillating conversation and "friendship" are steps TO cheating . . . why inflict that kind of influence into your relationship? Why rattle your mate with that conduct? Why not leave that to the SINGLE FOLKS looking for partners?

Answer 10

Yes, it could be, if you have a BF/GF or are married.

If you are with someone, talking to the opposite sex is highly unadvised as it leads to cheating. Talking sexual, dirty, or anything of the sort with the opposite sex IS IS IS cheating. As is looking at other women.
