Is it cheating when a married person says sexually suggestive things to someone not their spouse?
This person is in contact with some one from the past and they think their spouse doesnt know about it. The spouse accidentaly saw an email msg where their spouse was telling this person from the past how smokin hot they looked in certain clothing. The two have been saying sexually suggestive things back and forth to. Do you think it’s cheating? not physical cheating but isn’t emotional cheating pretty much the same thing?

I think it’s not necessarily quite as bad as cheating physically, but it’s pretty darn close. It’s disrespectful and wrong.

I think it’s cheating! You are thinking of someone else the way you should be thinking about your spouse.

YES. This is cheating.
I had a friend who almost left her husband because he was trying to hook up with girls via networking sites like MySpace. Emotional infidelity is still infidelity and the bigger part of this is that, if they’re suggesting the hookup, there’s the potential for it to happen and it means they’re both considering it.
It’s cheating.

Yeah i think is not cheating, because you should be able to get compliments no matter what, since compliments make you feel good about yourself

I think that to only be flirting, not cheating.
Cheating would only be a physical thing.

Would they say or do those things with their spouse lookign over their shoulder?? That can be a big indicator of whether someone should be doing something or not. I don’t think it’s the same as actually touching someone, but I definitely think it’s wrong. A compliment is something like: “you look good today..” or “I like your hair.” Not, “wow, your ass is hot.”

No, it’s flirting and while possibly inappropriate , it is in no way ” cheating”
Only someone really insecure would think something like that,
BTW I don’t buy the ” accidentally read an e-mail”
Snooping is also a sign of insecurity.

I’m married and I would absolutely have a problem with this I think that you should see how far it goes b/c it sounds like your significant other needs a reality check or has or is cheating. I would pay close attention personally and then when I found out that they were cheating then I would clean out the bank account, find a stable place to live and make sure that anything I wanted was with me when I filed for divorce. My husband is a soldier and I’ve had so many chances to cheat and I never have and he’s been gone for over a year and I still haven’t and I have no respect for cheaters.

I would definitely have a problem with this behavior but I’m not sure it’squite on a par with actual cheating. Emails lend a lot of anonymity & people may say something they would not in person, with no intention of follow through. I guess with an email you have to know whether the person would follow through. In person, it IS definitely cheating. I guess we each have to draw our own lines in the sand ont these issues. Just be sure you &your partner are on the same page.

It’s so totally wrong on many different levels, if part of the mind has already started having these thoughts and saying them out loud, then they are already crossing the line as far as I’m concerned.
I can never figure out people who would risk what they have for something that they really can’t have and when it comes down to it, it’s the thrill of the chase, not a real emotion mostly. You know that it has to start somewhere and this is as good a place as any ~ yes it is cheating

Emotional cheating or flirting is not the same as physically cheating. One thing you need to be aware of is that one of the two is likely testing the other to see if they encourage the flirting. Then it will eventually lead to physical contact. Keep your eyes open and if you are the spouse, go to a divorce lawyer and find out your rights in your state.
