is it cheating to want to date another person if you aren't happy with your current relationship?

Just ask how that person would feel if it was done to them.  Cheating is cheating no matter how you look at it.

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.

yes it is in my eyes same if you were thinking of touching or even being with someone other then your partner it is still cheating as you are not thinking of your partner at that moment but someone else

If you are not happy in the relationship then you should get out of it.Dont stay with a person and then cheat on them and justify it by saying"oh but i wasnt happy",have some respect.

you are just giving him space, not breaking up with him.  you shouldn't get with this other guy.  i would consider that cheating.

you really shouldn't have to think so hard about it.  if he's not for you, he's not for you.  when you are with the person you're meant to be with, you don't have any doubts.  don't get involved with another person straight away though.  have some time to yourself before getting into another committed relationship and make sure it's for the right reasons.  don't waste your time with people who aren't right for you.

We should all be so lucky!\n\nIt's not really fair for your boyfriend - if you have agreed that you're in a monogamous relationship - to two-time him.\n\nBut if you're attracted to someone else, that may be because you're not satisfied with your current relationship. Maybe that's a wake-up call that you should break up with your boyfriend and date other people. \n\nWhatever you do, make your decision without burdening your boyfriend with the knowledge that you find someone else more attractive than you find him. Honesty is great, but being kind and considerate of someone else's feelings, in this case, is better.\n\nIf you break up with your boyfriend, you don't have to rush headlong into another relationship. Give yourself a little time to re-group.

I would have to tell him, no at the moment I am dating someone else. Thank you so much for asking me, but I feel that it would be wrong to date you under the circumstance. NOW, if you are truly interested in this guy, take the high road, and break it off with the guy you are seeing.  Then perhaps pursue this other guy.  Show the guy you're with the respect he deserves. You can't have them both, so make a choice. I hope the choice is a wise one.

i agree... just keep seeing them both... if its not a serious thing yet, or an exclusive thing...then it isnt cheating...eventually you'll figure out which one is for you..\n\nGood Luck

it depends on what your motives are. if you are looking for a serious relationship, then beware.. if she cheats on her current bf to be with you, then she will eventually cheat on you when she's ready as well.\n\nif you're just looking for some silly casual fun, then whether it's right or wrong will really depend on your personal values.  \n\nbut the bottom line, if you interfear with her current relationship, all three of you will end up hurt and angry at each other.. and all three will come out losers..

It's never OK to cheat. \nIf you aren't as serious about the relationship as your boyfriend, then dump him and find someone new. Or have a long talk with him about possibly having an open relationship where you both can see other people. He'll get the hint that you aren't satisfied with the way things are. He'll either work with you to fix them, or give you your freedom to enjoy others. \nBut no matter what, honesty is always better than deceit. You would be betraying him if you cheated, and it would hurt him worse in the long run than if you just dumped him. In addition, it would be hard on you to keep your lies straight, and keep him from finding out. It's actually a lot of work to have an affair behind someones back, so it's not worth it.

No, as this is not fair on the other one and you wouldn,t want them to do this to you.Get over the so called one that you love and find someone who is better,because if they are not with you then there is someone better then them.

First off, you didn't cheat.  You were broken up and living your life and moving forward.  Personally I think it was a bad choice for you to get back with your old boyfriend.  He guilted you into it, and the truth is that nothing has changed.  You deserve to be happy and I don't think you will ever be happy with him.  End this relationship and realize that if he wants to lay in your yard and cry that is his choice and your not responsible for him.  You should never feel bad for doing what is best for you.

Don't worry. It is not wrong.\n\nYou can be in love with a person, and likes (and be liked by) several peoples too.\n\nIt can be not so good if you try to get more from this other people.\n\nDefinitely it is wrong if you cheat your loved one if a relationship exists.

I would have to think so very long and hard about doing this.  You have to wonder about the real motivation.  If the relationship is in jeopardy then this isn't the answer, it will only cause more problems.   You will always be wondering if the only reason this was suggested was because your partner knew that they wanted to be with someone else and this was a way to do that without dealing with the real problem.\n\nI hope things work out for you.
