Do you believe that a person could cheat on their partner not physically but mentally?

I would advise against this myself.  Cheating is cheating, and it would not be fair for your partner.\n\nI think you really need to consider what you need/want in a relationship.  If you really want this, talk to your partner about having an open (or semi-open) relationship.  Otherwise, you are not being fair to him.

I don't think who one does it with is the issue here...the issue is CHEATING and cheating is wrong regardless of who one does it with.

It may not technically be infidelity but it is certainly a very bad\nidea and will probably lead to infidelity...\nFalling in love with  someone else, even without sex, is also infidelity..

Personally, the first thing I see when I meet someone isn't their brain, I see their exterior. So when someone gives you a list of all of the things they want their significant other to be and they don't include the physical, they're lying. Everyone wants someone who is attractive but very few people are honest enough to admit it.

Nope, I've never cheated. I think it's not the right thing to do. You should just break up instead of just cheating on them...

Hell to NO!!! its just this simple bad character no matter how you put it. And if you're going to cheat you're going to cheat no matter what. But the question is how long will it be before they decide to cheat?? And people think that they really love the person that they're in a relationship with, but yet and still they decide to cheat and also lack of will power, they're a lot of reasons why people cheat. Now I do believe that if you really love someone that no one can seduce you into cheating with them no matter what.

It doesn't matter if someone cheats on you or not.  Why would you lower yourself to their level.  You have to go through life liking yourself.  You have to look in the mirror and like who you are.  If someone cheated then the relationship is going to take a lot of work to be able to work in general.  If the other person cheats out of revenge then neither of you should be in the relationship to begin with.

I know several cases were people were married for 60/70 years and their spouse passed on and they never cheated.  If you love your spouse and respect the sanctity of marriage then it's very possible.  My husband was in Iraq and I had MANY chances to cheat.  (the female to male ratio in this town is about 250:1 so even if you're 200lbs overweight, if you have boobs, you can get some).  Anyway, I love my husband and I refuse to risk what we share for a night or two with some jerk who doesn't care about anything.  I love my husband and I stayed faithful.  I'll continue doing so now that he's home and for the rest of our lives.  I have no doubt in my mind he will do the same.

If all parties involved consent, then no, I wouldn't call it cheating, but ask yourself this: how would you feel if your wife had another man? Would that be okay with you? It works both ways.

Nun's believe they are married to god. So sexual acts with a mortal would be cheating on god. I wouldn't want to cheat on an all-knowing, all-powerful being, would you?

I now that this is a bit long, but it’s hard to answer this question in three or four sentences or a little paragraph. \n\nWe have to look at cheating from a different perspective. First we have to ask the question…Why do people cheat? Some people cheat because they have no sense of commitment, compulsive sexual behavior, fear, among a few other reasons. \n\nCheating reasons among long term and married couples, generally indicates problems in the relationship. Problems that the couples is not dealing in an ineffective way. Some couples get so accustomed to the problem issue that they  learn to live with it and becomes part of their everyday lifestyle. For example, people not feeling satisfied emotionally or sexually. It has been said over and over gain that married people don’t go outside their relationship unless they are not getting something they want at home. I really believe that that is true. \n\nWe live in a society in which people live in a constant state of  unrealistic expectations and lack of responsibility. In particular when it comes to love. People, in particular young people, expect love to be magical and to last for ever. They think that everything it’s going to be easy and pretty. But then life starts hitting them with reality, with the struggles of every day life. Like dealing with financial strain, kids (if any), time apart due to business travel, etc. So then they start wondering if they are with the right person, because in they fantasy world, if they were with the right person, “we would never argue“ they think. \n\nPeople also have a lack of responsibility for they own happiness. I’m sure we all have heard people say things like “I want to find the person or I’ve found the guy/girl who is going to make me happy for the rest of my life.” Come on, no one can come into your life and make you happy if you are unhappy.  You have to take the responsibility of your own happiness into your own hands. If not, you likely to start wondering and having seconds thought about the person you are with. Not because they may be something with that person, but because we built unrealistic ideas for that person that no real human being will ever be able to live up to. A good example is a guy who marries a great looking women with a killer body, he expects her to marry him, age, bear 2 or 3 children and still have the same killer body. Unrealistic for most people!\n\nAnother thing is something I call the “disposable society.” We now live in a society that has embraced anything that is disposable. If something breaks, then we throw it away and get a new one. Everything is that way now days. How many people get their TV set fixed when it breaks down compared to 40 years ago? Not a lot! We get rid of it and we go buy a new one. The same is true with cars, baby dippers, and on and on. \n\nUnfortunately people have the same disposable attitude towards relationships. If it doesn’t work, we throw it away and get a new one, or find someone else who can satisfy us emotionally or sexually. Sometimes it’s easier to dump someone or cheat than to confront our lover about their lack of emotional support or lack of sexual skills. \n\nSo if your love life in not magical anymore, you are not  happy about the outcome of some expectations you had for the relationship or the person you are with, you lack responsibility for your own actions in love life, and you have a  disposable attitude, sooner or later you’ll look for someone else who can satisfy those needs. You’ll look for someone who will be “perfect.” As if there was such a thing!

I comepletely agree with " if you're going to cheat on someone don't be in the relationship." But if you do cheat, I think you should be completely honest with the person and then hand the reins over to them because now it's their decision if they still want to be with you. But some people truly believe in "What they don't know, wont hurt them" but the fact is that enventually they do know and you are a worse person for not only being a cheater but a liar.

It's my opinion that it doesn't matter whether it's a woman or a man...I, myself, would not get serious or even date someone I knew had not be faithful.  Even if that person was unfaithful only once.  I could never trust them.  It takes a lot of &*$^%* to cheat!  I've been the victim of one who cheated on me.  We were married.  It seems to be a thrill that they seek, even when the consequences of getting caught could devastate their life.  Who would be stupid enough to take that chance?   I don't understand.

Yes, it would be considered cheating.  BIG TIME!

Exactly. I guess it just boils down to cowardice really. Some people cheat and yet are too afraid to let go of their existing secure relationship. Some claim they don't want to hurt the other person's feelings. But by being unfaithful they already have. What they really don't want is to face the music and confess to their partners that they've been cheating.
