stop asking stupid questions about having more than one boyfriend and being a cheater. Nobody cares that you can’t be faithful to one person.

You can cheat on a girlfriend or boyfriend.
If I kissed another guy, it is cheating when I have a boyfriend.

who says it means a spouse cheating?
if you are in a committed relationship to somebody and you agree to not see other people then it’s cheating if you go against that agreement

Cheating is not playing by the rules. What rules you and your partner use are up to you, but once they are chosen, then it’s cheating to not play by the rules. If you don’t like the rules, get out of the game. If you have three partners and they each know about the others, then you are not cheating.

If you have a significant other, like in your case I think earlier you mentioned you had three, then you are cheating when you take part in canoodling with another individual.

Well even if you’re dating someone, it could be cheating! When you’re in a relationship, you are expected to be commited and faithful to that person, even if you two are not married!

cheating means going outside a relationship. you don’t have to be married to be considered cheating. and you’re one to talk because you know if you are with someone and they go have sex with someone else you’re going to be the first one trying to cry and talk about trust.

I agree with you, however a lot of people consider a serious relationship “committed”, so in that case it’s cheating to them.

Your an idiot. It’s cheating if you are in a committed relationship with someone. It’s not cheating it’s an affair when your married.

If you’re going out with 2 people, its cheating.

If your going out/having an affair with a person who is married/is in a relationship, its still cheating!

No, no, no. Once again I answer your question. ‘Cheating’ is when you are in a relationship, of any kind, and you go off behind that persons back and have relations with someone else.

because whethere ur married or not engaged or not, when you commit to someone and start a relationship. It would be considered as cheating. I even consider flirting as cheating.

I totally agree. Boyfriend and girlfriend carries with it an absense of commitment. That’s why I’m so astounded at the amount of people having babies that aren’t married. The man is the winner in these situations – no commitment!

Cheating means that you have betrayed the trust of a loved one… whether your married or not. It could be with a bf/gf. Doesn’t matter, it’s still cheating.

Cheating is any kind of betrayal of someone you are in a relationship with.

But a Troll would know this.

I don’t believe you have to be married to cheat having any kind of relationship with one person & the same relationship with someone else can be considered as cheating.

i agree with faller 217 and you do call it cheating when a spouse cheats on you. at any rate, you boyfriend or girlfriend is someone special to you that you should treat with love and loyalty. not cheat on them. i respect my GF as much as i would respect my wife(BTW it will be her). its just that if you plan on cheating on them, why would you even be with them if “NOTHING IS HOLDING YOU TIED TO THEM” like you say. marriage is an action taken to make it official and public. but a relationship is exactly the same, just not to the extreme. don’t expect anybody to take you seriously past a relationship if you are cheating . nobody wants an un-loyal partner.

Your never going to get married.
You start out as dating then it leads to getting married. If your not looking for anything serious with the person, then let them know first because it hurts feelings. If you are and your cheating anyways just cause your not yet married, well…then he’s not gonna want to marry a cheater.

cheating has many different definitions. but, if you’re in a relationship…you’ve made a commitment, a promise, to be faithful to that person. the only difference is that it isn’t legally binding like a marriage. but it’s still cheating!

cheating does not only refer to a spouse, it refers to the person you are currently with , whether dating or marriage! if you were dating someone and saw someone else then that is cheating! dont try to excuse your tramppy actions!

cheating does not mean a spouse cheating. cheating is cheating! if your in a committed relationship weather its your husband or not and you go fool around with some other guy that is cheating. any time your dating and have been dating one guy for a long time or maybe not that long it just depends and you go do stuff with someone else…. THATS CHEATING! cheating does not just refer to married couples! thas called an affair! and is illigal.

Yes, if you are going out with someone, via boyfriend/girlfriend, and you kiss, go out to dinner, intimately, or do anything that could potentially cross the line, it could then be considered cheating. I figure, talk to you boyfriend/girlfriend to figure out the outline of your relationship, to talk to him/her and find out what is ok for them and what is ok for you. I’m sure you’ll work it out.

CHEATING is NOT just about spouses! it is being unfaithful in ANY relationship (well relationship meaning not sis or mom or anything but u know what i mean)

seriously?

… you need to ask yourself what a boyfriend or what a relationship is. If there is nothing exlusive about your partner then what are you doing? Do that person a favor and let go so they can move on and you can do what or whoever you want.

sheesh I cant believe this :/

Cheating also means you promised your love to one man and now you’re giving it to another. You broke your promise, therefore you cheated. Cheating also means being unfaithful. I think you best get a dictionary and find out what cheating is.

you’re right. don’t get married.. and have fun.

you don’t owe anyone else anything unless you’ve made yourself exclusive to someone.. in marriage or one-on-one relationship. if that’s not the case, you can date whoever you want. period.

if you don’t stay loyal and/or faithful to a person who you have a relationship with, you are cheating. how would you feel if the person in your relationship went out with someone else while you were in love with that person? my guess is that you wouldn’t like it. think about that.

when you start a relationship, you make an un-vocalized, known promise that you two will be the only ones for each other, until you break up of course. being in a relationship IS like being married, but you can call out’s whenever you want.. I mean it’s not Forever.

plus, it’s illogical to cheat anyway, if you feel like you are more attracted to someone else and have more of an emotional connection to them, then BREAK UP with your boyfriend or girlfriend, and go to the next one.

If you have a committed relationship with someone and you then date someone else on the side that’s cheating. You can be in a committed relationship and not married. Clearly if you’re dating more than one person you aren’t committed to either partner. That’s fine as long as both guys know that about you. Communicate that to both (all?) the guys and you can’t be accused of cheating.

Well if you found out your boyfriend had been seeing someone else, would you still feel the same way?
I doubt you’d say, go ahead, it’s not “cheating”.

So, by your logic, it’s cool if the bride screws someone else an hour before the wedding… because she’s not married yet. Commitment doesn’t begin at marriage. If you’re screwing around all of the time, then how can you ever find out which one is the right one for you?

Cheating is really another name for dishonesty. There is such a thing as an “open relationship,” and if both partners agree they can see whomever they want, there’s nothing wrong with that. But it is cheating when the relationship is assumed to be monogamous, and a person goes outside the relationship without the other’s knowledge. Think about school…. there’s nothing wrong with sharing answers when you’re working on a group project, but it’s called “cheating” when you’re supposed to be working solo.

wow – u have to fix your moral compass…why be with someone if your going to CHEAT…?….just leave them! Ive been “cheated” on before, and we weren’t married, but lemme tell you one thing. Theres no worse feeling then being cheated on. Don’t put the other person through that – would you want to be put through it? I didn’t think so. its considered cheating because your cheating the truth that the other person deserves to know about. Your cheating yourself by doin somethin like that. Its not fair – nor right. Relationships are for 2 PEOPLE to grow together and trust eachother. 2 defeat the lies and share everything with eachother. Wheres the truth in cheating? if your goin to do so, why be in a relationship? you might as well just keep being single until you find the one person that you wouldn’t dream of cheating on….maybe im too drastic
