Yes, kinda

i think so. you're not really supposed to flirt or give that emotional part of yourself if you're in a commited relationship. but i mean as long as everyone's on the same page and happy then whatever

YES.

Of course it is.

No; can you stick it in a computer? Can a computer love you? It's the same as phone sex, nothing more. There are bigger concerns than if one's partner is cheating between their own ears...

I think it can be taken in diffrent ways depending on the person me personally yes its cheating Think of it like this: ask yourself would i want my spouse or bf/gf to be doing this would i find it wrong or lable it as cheating how would you feel then think of how your sig. other would take it

yes even a cyber affair can cause problems in your relationship.

Of course not. All you are doing is typing. To "cheat," you have to meet in person, and do certain, umm, physical things.

Maybe, maybe not. I believe it would be totally possible to conduct an emotional affair vie email, chats, etc. If people connect and have (or think they have) real feelings about each other, it's an affair. If it's just like, someone talks dirty in a chat room and you get your rocks off, that's basically the same as porn. That is kind of a gray-ish area depending on what you and your S/O feel comfortable with. The question you need to ask yourself is this: Would you tell your S/O about it? If not, it's cheating.

G'day Nursey, Thank you for your question. If your partner knows about it, then no. Otherwise yes. If the cyber affair lasts for a while, it is inevitable that the two people involved will want to meet to consummate the relationship. Regards

Yes! Cheating is behind your S/O's back. Would you consider it cheating if it were the other way around??

If you have to ask this question,you have already heard that little voice in your head telling you that its wrong so listen to the voice. Doubt always means NO don't do it's wrong.

In my opinion, ... yes.

yes it is

yes it is cheating if not in body in the mind.and that can be worse if two people like to talk to each other romantic and sexual.then they are thinking of someone else and not there partner.in other words they are fed up of the one they are with

Yes. Normal chatting or talking is not, but cyber-sex and letting emotions get to the point of thinking of those online more than your partner is cheating.

But I say to you, That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.Matthew 5:28 KJV Replace woman with man in a womans case and your answer is the same. It is wrong.

The way I always think of this is.........would it be cheating if it were the other way around? Then you know!

yes because you are giving a part of yourself that is supposed to belong to your spouse to someone. even if there is no physical connection, there are spiritual and emotional ties that will interfere with your marriage

In my Opinion YES if you hide it from your Significant other its cheating without a doubt. my reasoning is if you feel have to hide it then you are doing something wrong

Yes, it's emotionally cheating on your s/o

Check it here, I hope this could help.. 1. Paying a prostitute for (safe) sex 2. Having sex with someone from the office at a drunken office party 3. Having sex with someone from the office while at work 4. Having sex with a woman you just met in a bar after an argument at home 5. Having sex with a woman you just met in a bar while away from home 6. Having phone/text/cybersex with someone you will never meet 7. Having phone/text/cybersex with someone you do meet 8. Meeting someone for a drink who your partner does not like but they do not know 9. Meeting someone for a drink who your partner does not like and you lied about the meeting 10. Holding hands with someone else in public when your partner is not around 11. Oral sex from you 12. Oral sex on you 13. Thinking of someone else while having sex with your partner 14. Buying secret gifts for someone else 15. Sending secret texts to someone else 16. Telling someone of the opposite sex all your secrets and your feelings about your partner but without touching them at all 17. Kissing someone else passionately 18. Buying flowers for someone else but not telling your partner 19. Buying flowers for someone else who your partner does not like and not telling your partner All of those are cheating, and that list is but a tiny tiny fraction of what I think another person would use in a fight - and when trust is broken, a fight (hopefully just verbal) results. So going back to the article at LifeHut, and using that list, I got the impression that the author there would tick all the ’sex’ items. Of course reading this list he will tick them all probably, but that was my impression. And I think that the sex assumption is wrong. Sex is a biological urge. Stronger in some than others, inflamed by alcohol and circumstances but it’s just an act. It’s almost ‘notch on the bedpost’ stuff, it’s about conquest, immediate satiation, lust, scoring and any number of other euphemisms we have for sexual intercourse. In the end though, it’s a base urge and one that arguably we can lose control of at times. Note - I said arguably. So the sex thing .. yes, it is cheating IF both partners agree - and that could be a complex area. Cheating is when the harmed person says it is, not when you think it is. Number 16 is the killer - and I’ve known people who would class 10 as a hanging offence. There’s no touching going on. There’s no base urges happening, but they have just bared their soul to someone else. Which scenario is worst ? • Your partner walks in and says “I’ve just had sex with X from work” OR • Your partner walks in and says “I’ve just told everything I feel about us and you to X from work” Initially, the first hurts but this - however much you protest - could be ‘defended’ albeit it in a way you might not agree with. But the second ? there is no defence for that. That was actively disclosing information to someone else who now possesses that information and even if they never use it against you, you cannot feel the same about them again. In fact they both hurt, but very differently. Because of the first, physical intimacy becomes difficult but because of the second emotional intimacy is ruined. The problem is that you simply cannot ask all the possible questions and even if you did, you would get not all the answers back. I don’t think you can get through any relationship of any depth over an extended period of time without some form of ‘cheating’ going on. If you have done something - anything - that your partner would not like and you have not told them, then they could class that as cheating. You may not see it that way, but your view counts for nothing at that point in time. Test: if they did what you just have, would you be happy about it ? Another test: if you won the lottery would you choose ‘No Publicity’ because of what the Press would dig up about you ? So where’s my answer ? I haven’t got one. I don’t believe there is one despite all these junk TV programmes and Agony Aunt columns advising us about what not to do and when not to do it. I also don’t think we should carry on our lives as if our partners were perched on our shoulders - aren’t they meant to enhance our life, not possess or dictate it ? Fidelity is what you and your partner say it is. And as much as you believe in it, one day you’ll screw it up. That’s the way life is.

Yes, although if you ask my father he would tell you "no he is not cheating on my mom" It is cheating, even if it is just an emotional connection, it is still cheating.

I don't think so, but you must define "cyber affair", Nursey. If it just means flirting and exchange of personal info, I don't think that would be cheating. However, if you get intimate and even meet up and get busy, that would be cheating, for about anyone would agree that having sex with someone other than your main squeeze would equate to cheating. In short, it hinges on intentions and any and all sexual actions, and sexual convos, internet and phone included, do not count.

Definitely. Emotions can run just as deeply online as they can in person.

Anything like this that you keep secret from your partner is cheating. If it is you who is doing this then stop now! I was on the receiving end of this and I can tell you it hurts very much.

Yes it is and it is pathetic as well.

It really doesn't matter whether I, or anybody else, would define it as cheating. If it is unacceptable to your partner, it is unacceptable behaviour - it doesn't matter what label you choose to place on it.

It's not cheating but it can cause problems because you can fall in love.

Yes it is cheating an affair is an affair weather its face to face or not if its something that would'nt be doen without the s/o sitting next to them and has to be hidden it's an affair

If you don't mind that your S/O reads every word, no..if you hide it from your S/O, then of course it is cheating. Happy Tuesday! :)

It depends on what is meant by "affair." Is it romantic? Are you sharing intimate feelings, problems, aspirations, expressing how you feel about each other? Yeah, that's cheating. But, if you're just chatting about general things, like work and don't have personal intimate talk, then it's dangerous and maybe inappropriate but not necessarily cheating.

That depends on what you mean by "cyber affair." If they're telling each other they love one another and want to get rid of their spouses, making plans to move in together, yeah. If they are just chatting about world events, no.

yes it is. once you are in a commited relationship you should not be giving part of you to someone else or flirting. (as someone else just said). you should be giving yourself to your partner and thats all. chatting in a flirtatious way to someone you know is interested in you even if you are not interested back is still cheating

What do you mean by that? Just wondering.

YES! reason some girls use the net to snare men. Even if you dont meet someone in person seeing someone on webcam naked etc is cheating. Relationships consist of different aspects such a emotional attachment if someone goes asking someone for advice on matter or are down then they can be said to have an emotional affair, as these matters they wont discuss with their partners. However some people get stalked online etc I been there. Irene Ameera Agostini beware of this girl...she is only good for a casual thing.

Yes you should be emotionally commited the person your with. Cheating does not have to be physical, Haven't you heard of affairs of the heart,
