Do you think it is cheating when your partner kisses another person but says there was not feelings involved?

it all depends on what kind of kiss it was and to whom it was too. And on how much you can trust your partner. And what kind of relationship you and your partner are in.  There's always 3 sides to the story, YOURS, MINE, and the TRUTH. You can read the menu but you eat at home.SO that means there will be  no ordering not even an appetizers.

Not if they agreed to break up. Cheating implies a degree of dishonesty, of secrecy, or underhandedness. If those things are not present, you don't need to worry. \n\nLook at it from this point of view. people use the word cheating as in cheating ON somebody. But it is more correct to say they are cheating somebody OUT OF something that belongs to them.\n\nIf a couple is married-- which means that they have made promises to one another to be exclusively each others' and nobody else's-- then to give the intimate benefits to a third party cheats the partner out of what is theirs by right of the agreement. If that is not what was intended, I suppose one could call it by a different word, but that is what marriage means, or the word loses its meaning and we have a difficult time talking about it.\n\nThe same holds true in less formal relationships. When two people get engaged, and feel that they have found in each other their "one and only", to give anybody else equal time is to take away from what the partner should have.\n\nIn the case of your sister, I am happy for her that she and her young man got back together. But since they were broken up (apart) for those two months during which she went with someone else, it was not cheating on her part. If they separated with the intention of not having a relationship any more, or if they agreed to just 'be friends', it was not cheating.\n\nIf they just drifted apart, it is possible that the matter was not discussed adequately, and that may be why hurt feeling remain. It is not possible for us to read each others' minds, and by far the best course to take in such a case is forgiveness. This can heal their present and future relationship. \n\nAlso, now that they know they can misunderstand each other in this way, a committment to discussing things beforehand will help to prevent similar problems in the future.\n\nThey must remember that every choice is a choice not only for one option but against all the others. Marriage is serious and should not be indulged in by those who wish to 'try' it or are not ready for the challenge of their lives. The rewards are on the same level of the challenge to which the members of the marriage rise.\n\nI am speaking of the danger of 'emotional cheating'. (I am not saying this has or will happened, but I am throwing this additional bit in, free of charge. You would be surprised at how many people have this problem later.)\n\nBy clearly defining the marriage committment, by discussing things beforehand, AND-- by taking all steps to avoid temptation later-- a couple can find strength and comfort in one another. Many people do not do this becasue it sounds so 'unromantic'.\n\nBetter 'unromantic', than 'unrealistic' and failure in the marriage.\n\nI wish your sister and her intended husband all the best in the world. I only wish that more couples who break up would get back together as they have. I think that they will look back on this in the years to come and it will only draw them closer and closer.

no it isn't really cheating in that case. Just talk to your bf and tell him what happened. He should trust you if he really does love you. Talking is one of the best keys in a good relationship to make it last but everyone is different and its harder for some to talk.  But 9 out of 10 the ones that don't talk break up. good luck :)

If you know your wife and are truly in love with her one kiss is all it will take.  From an unfortunate amount of experience, once she has been with someone else, even one time,  the differnece in the way the kiss feels is noticable.  Maybe not physically, but the difference is there.  Now proving that she cheated  is an entirely different story.

It becomes cheating when you act on inappropriate feelings for someone other than your spouse or significant other.

The simple definition to me is ANY intimate physical contact with another person which you feel you need to keep from your significant other.  A kiss, sex, etc.  Some relationships are more open than others.  Some partners don't even like the thought of their sig other hugging someone else, some think that's fine.  It depends on what BOTH partners agree is not acceptable.  If something happens between you and someone and you feel you can't tell your sig other, you're probably cheating.\n\nEmotional cheating is WAY more subjective.  Everyone has fantasies about other people, whether it's a passing glance or a crush.  (Fantasizing too much, though, can mean that you're not getting what you need from your relationship and you should probably move on).  Acting on fantasies is what constitutes cheating.  My opinion.

If you are in a relationship, you have pretty much said to the other person you belong to them sexually. So if you are sharing anything intimate or sexual with another person, you are cheating. If not physically, emotionally. Is it ok for your partner to have these conversations with other people? Hmmmmmmmm didn't think so.

Although you may not want to admit it to yourself, your partner may just want out of the relationship. They were not thinking of you when they cheated, and now they don't want to be forgiven. Maybe they hoped that you would find out and then break it off so they didn't have to do it. Besides, you should find someone who won't cheat on you. You deserve to be able to trust your lover.

If my bf f*cks someone else, it's cheating. If it's just kissing, fine.It's still me he's coming home to.

Um, to the technicality dude above, if you are in a relationship, whether married or dating, then it IS cheating.

You cheat when you dont love someone enough to respect them, and not want to hurt them. I kissed five other guys while with my ex bf, but wouldnt dream of doing it to my current bf of five years! Not even the sexiest guy alive will measure up to him! I love him too much.. its all relative

Yes, I do.  Any time you bring a third party into a relationship it is cheating.  Now if you have an open relationship and your partner doesn't mind then that is a different story.  If you are in a good healthy relationship why would you want to involve another person?

It may not be cheating in the usual unedrstanding of the word, but it most certainly is not being faithful. Consider how you would feel if your spouse had fallen in love with some bimbo on line and was sneaking off to have hot sticky computer sex when you weren't around? \n\nDon't betray your spouse.

No. It's bad enough to cheat, but not telling your partner (if you truly love them) is robbing them of their right to TRUST you.\n\nIf your partner loves you back, they'll be mad and may break it off for a bit, but they'd understand.

is it fair or does it make you feel better?\n yes its fair because it makes her feel better about his infidelity. well if you didn't want a kick in the balls, you shouldn't have cheated. haha
