I'm in a situation with my girlfriend where cheating has been brought up and I'm looking for clarification. I haven't slept with another woman or even touched, only exchanged some raunchy, explicit emails. Is this the standard cheating? I think not. Its not great and I should be ashamed of course, but its not as bad as physical cheating.

You make the mistake of thinking that women are rational beings.

Coming from a group of people who play a text based game, I doubt you will find much sympathy for sharing several cybersex-esque e-mails as not nearing the border of cheating. Some spouses may not have a problem with it if their wife has her Halfling being pounded out by a husky giantman, but I imagine they are in the minority. When you factor in that it wasn't fantasy, but thoughts shared between two people, it becomes all the more serious.

Yeah I think that's serious. If my girl did that I'd be rightly very upset. Put yourself in her shoes.

The answer to that varies with each couple, I'd say. It's obvious that she considers it cheating. Did you know her feelings on it before you did it? Did you try to hide it from her, and sneak around behind her back with it? How would you feel if she did it? Questions like that all affect whether or not it's considered "cheating."

My own personal definition? Anything you do online, no matter how explicit it gets, is still just words on a screen. Words on a screen are not cheating (doing that when you know your partner disapproves is still a problem - but that's not your question).

I don't think it's the "standard" cheating, and I also don't think it's as bad as physical cheating, but that still leaves open the possibility that it's cheating... And I think that it is. Would you think it was if the situation was reversed?

You know...I take it back.

One time, when I used to play Everquest with my wife, her little female avatar had a little in-game boyfriend, and it gave me honest to goodness feelings of jealousy. I think "rational thought" goes out the window in relationships.

And you are right, it's not "as bad" as you putting your cock in someone, and so it should be easier to forgive, but again...logic...rational thought...not so much in relationship scenarios.

That puts it a whole lot closer to cheating, in my mind. I've always been far more concerned with intent than deed though. Sneaking behind your partner's back to kiss someone and lying about it is worse to me than fooling around with someone and confessing at the earliest opportunity. Both are cheating, but one is a mistake, while the other destroys the trust in your relationship.

What you did could be considered emotional/mental cheating, which I think can be just as bad as physical cheating in many ways. If something wasn't lacking from your relationship though, I doubt you'd need to cybersex someone else in e-mails. Time to focus on what's wrong in your relationship and see if it's worth fixing.

If my J did that, i'd be very very upset. I know if I cybersexed someone in e-mails, he'd be furious. Only magnified if there was lying and sneaking involved.

The act has nothing really to do it. When you hide or lie about the person/activity from the person you are committed to, you're already being unfaithful because you couldn't be honest with her. The trust is shattered.

Women may take any kind of sexual activities as a betrayal, but I think the hiding and the lying cinched it.

Deception is why people get upset, not the act (not usually anyway).

If you can't be honest about it, then you're cheating. I'd fucking be pissed if my girlfriend was emailing some raunchy shit to someone that I didn't know. This is an age of the internet, where online dating isn't just an LawlFest anymore. People do it and it has become accepted by most people.

You hid the person and the activity from your partner, which is why it's considered cheating. It has far less to do with the act and a lot more to do with the deception, IMO.

As far as the "at least I didn't bang anyone.." line of thinking. For some people, the emotional betrayal of lying about a relationship (even an online one) far outweighs betrayal from the physical act of having sex with someone other than your gf/bf.

Without writing out the raunchy details of my relationship and personal life, the idea of my boyfriend having sex with some girl is not even close to as hurtful as if I found out he was talking on the phone for an hour each day with some girl, all about his life and going to her for emotional support. Even among couples with physically open relationships, emotional monogamy is important and valued. Lying and deception destroys that.

My point is that, you know, maybe it's a wonderful idea to be an adult and get into a relationship with someone who has the same expectations and can agree to the same things you're comfortable with. If that means you're basically swingers, great. If it means you're totally monogamous, that's cool too. But the bottom line is that you shouldn't be having to lie or deceive one another, and when you do is when you cross into the cheating territory. It's defined by the boundaries of your relationship, NOT by a black and white rulebook of "this is cheating, that isn't."

Men and women are both awesome at being total fucktards about sex and relationships.

It depends. If your emails were along the lines of "When I see you I am going to...." then it is just as bad because you were eventually going to cheat on her.

I am with the group of people that feel this is cheating. Sex/physical is definetly not the only form of cheating. If some other guy was receiving more attention than me from my girlfriend I'd be pretty upset. (*though in my case almost all guys are getting more attention than me anyway)

It might even be seen as trying to set something up for an up-coming break up.

As for me, the realism is starting to hit me of what my gf does and it is starting to suck, not sure how much longer I can hold out.

If you go see a Proctologist and he shoves his finger up your ass, then you cant really say you have never had a homosexual experience can you?

:yeahthat:

Many have responded that it was the hiding and lying that is what pissed her off, but, lets get honest. What the real problem is she is feeling hurt because you went to someone else and not her. And she is probably wondering within her own mind, 'what's wrong with me?'

So, it would probably help if you tried to sooth her pain, before you defuse her anger. You need to be reassuring that this was your form of porn, and its not because of her, if this is the case. Also, be honest about what IS lacking, if anything. She is probably feeling pretty insecure at this point.

And of course, was it just cybering, or was there talk of a rendezvous?

Then just dump her instead of being a dick head about things.

Cheating on her isn't going to make her suddenly think, "Oh I should go on a diet and go to the gym!" In fact it's likely to make her incredibly depressed and make her do even less.

Cheating is defined by the two people in the relationship, I've decided. We all know how open I am. I make sexual comments, flash my boobs (usually when excessively drunk) to other people in front of my husband all the time. I recently found out though, that doing the same online is considered cheating in his opinion.

Huge fight ensued and I ended up telling him I'd never do it again. And I wont. The problem there was the communication. I assumed saying/doing shit over the internet was even LESS dangerous because I'd never see these people IRL versus doing it right infront of them. I was wrong. I wished my husband had just sat me down when he found out (I left these boards open one night when I went to bed and he went to check his bank account and saw something I wrote on here) and simply TOLD me it bothered him without screaming at me that I was cheating on him. WTF?

Either way, what's done is done on my end. But it sounds like you've got other issues to worry about (like your problem with gaining 30lbs, really? Is that it?) besides the cheating thing.

On an unrelated note, if you had told me that I needed to lose weight and go to the gym I'd tell you to go fuck a goat.

Yeah, I knew she didn't like it because I was keeping it from her. I was just intrigued by the other girl. She found out, I paniced, tried to lie, then realized there wasn't any point in lying and came clean. She freaked and I left.

As far as the weight thing goes, I am now a firm believer that when people finally land the relationship they want they tend to let themselves go. Why continue to hit the gym and diet, you have what you wanted. That's why I'm so against marriage, well, one of the reasons. And then you have kids and the guy plays second fiddle and he can't get laid anymore......yada yada yada....

Men are visual animals. Especially when it comes to attraction and women. We go after the things that look good. So when I hooked up with my ex she was thinner and she looked better, and as the relationship continued she started to put on weight, which started to turn me off. I don't believe I'm wrong about that. I came to her and mentioned this a while ago because I wanted to feel that attraction again. Over the last 16 or so months I've brought it up numerous times and she always said she'd work on it but never did. I don't think I'm in the wrong for being upset by that.

Thank you. Attraction is a huge part of any relationship and when you start to look at someone and you notice things that didn't use to be there, you're like wtf?

For instance, I was guilty of this myself when her and I first got together. For years I had been 180-185 and after 5 months of being with her I ballooned to 215. That's a lot of weight. She never indicated it was a problem for her but it was a problem for me. Well, I got off my ass and dropped 40 lbs and now I'm down to 175. Was it too much to ask for her to do the same?

You know, I've had to try a bunch of different medications the past year that all made me put on weight. My boyfriend likes a curvy girl, but he could tell that my extra weight was making me miserable.

One time he broached the subject with me.. asked me how I felt about it, etc. After leveling, he agreed to help me out to lose the excess weight (it was maybe 20 lbs). That meant he didn't keep any of his unhealthy, tempting food in our house (also meant he didn't snarf down pizza in front of me).. he went with me to the gym or out to run, and encouraged me whenever I dropped even just a few pounds.

You understand, now, how that is utterly different than if he came to me and said "You've let yourself go. Lose some weight, I want to feel attracted to you again." And then just left the ball in the court that I either lost weight so he'd want to bang me again, or else he'd go have sex with someone else. My response would have been the same as Shari's: Go fuck a goat.

I don't think people should let themselves go.. but when they do, IMO, there's a right and a wrong way to go about trying to fix it.

And again-- if you don't want to do the supportive thing, then just dump her. Don't drag it out and then blame your weakness/bad judgement on the fact that she put on a few pounds.

Its funny because I offered to go to the gym with her. I would have loved to help her with it. I even gauranteed that after a few months she'd drop the weight. She'd bring it up to me saying she wanted to lose weight, but never did anything.

I'm not saying its the same thing, I'm saying she was one thing when we hooked up and she started to change with no hope of stopping. It was only going to get worse the longer the relationship went on, I'm sure.

I'm not saying weight gain and a sexual preferance are the same thing. I'm not saying it was right for me to exchange these emails behind her back, which isn't as bad as physical cheating, but if she'd have tried harder to improve her appearance then maybe I'd have rejected this other girl.

I started out somewhat on your side - your girlfriend was freaking out over words on a screen. Said words may have headed in the direction of cheating, but they weren't there yet.

Then you told us that you did all this behind her back, and lied when she caught you. Suddenly, her reaction looked a little better.

Then you told us that the problem started when she put on a few pounds and wouldn't lose it, even though you told her to.

Seriously, you're just digging this hole deeper. Leave the girl so she can get on with her life. You go find someone with the same attitude as you, and enjoy your shallow relationship (at least the sex will be good, right?)

It's basic human sexuality. To a man, generally speaking, physical intimacy is more important because of parental investment (he doesn't want to be caring for a kid that isn't his). To a woman, emotional intimacy is more important because of parental investment (she wants the guy to care for the kid that is his with her not other women). Even the possibility is considered a threat, in either case.

It doesn't matter if it's text or not. Emotionally, your time was invested with somebody else. Your woman could go out and grope some guy's leg, would it be cheating? No sex occurred, but you sure as hell would probably be agitated.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing he didn't approach the situation as Narcissia's boyfriend did, but instead said something like "You've packed on a few. How 'bout hitting the gym?" That doesn't work. Trust me :)

Forgive me for not typing out the many conversations we had regarding the topic of weight. Believe, I know talking to a woman about her weight is like playing with fire. I said it much more delicately than you gotta hit the gym. For the sake of typing I shortened things.

When you offer to go to the gym with someone and show them the way to do it because you've done it yourself, I don't know what more to ask at that point. I would have paid for her to sign up if she'd have come to me and said yes, I want to do this. Lets go.

Unless she has some severe self esteem issues if she was offended by his methodolgy the door was open for her to say something to him about how it made her feel or leave him.

I agree with both of you. It wasn't the right thing to do. Would I have slept with the other girl if we ended up in a room together? I don't know. Men are usually as faithful as their options.

Exactly.

If she isn't willing or able to lose the weight and you've talked to her about it numerous times then it may be time to move on before you end up doing something you'll regret even more. If you don't you will eventually cheat on her and she will find out about it since you're not good at it even without sex involved.

Do yourselves a favor and come to terms with what you honestly want out of the relationship. If she doesn't turn you on anymore and the passion has died, be honest with her and yourself. You only have one life and you should do whatever it takes to make yourself happy while avoiding hurting others in the process.

I'm kind of sick of the whole "men are superficial" bit as an excuse for anything. Human beings are visual in general, but we're more than just animals, and should be striving for something more than our animal nature (which ES summarized, and can be learned in any Animal Behavior class).

Attraction is important, yes, but in these 3 years, you weren't attracted to anything else about her but her looks? That makes you sound like an immature ass. I'm 27, but even two years ago, the thought of dating someone just based on looks was and still remains repugnant.

I'm tired of the modern world, I feel like an anachronism, except men have never behaved more maturally in past times.

So you're saying when you gained your weight, you suddenly turned gay? Or was that just a ridiculously stupid analogy?

I only date chicks I'm not physically attracted to just to prove that I'm mature. Shaft may look like a douche bag for wanting out because of her weight issues but according to him he talked to her about it and offered to help her but she was unmotivated to change despite her words. What else is he supposed to do pretend to be happy just for the sake of maintaing a relationship with someone he's no longer attracted to? (Obviously the answer isn't cheating on her.)

That's a total skewing of what I and others have said.

Sorry if this is a huge shock, but your looks are fleeting. Once almost all of us hit a certain age, it's downhill from there no matter how much plastic surgery we get done or make-up we wear.

Yes, you should date someone who you're physically attracted to. But, there should be more than just that physical attraction to keep your relationship going and to bring value to your relationship. What happens if one of you gets into a car accident and becomes horribly disfigured? What happens when you simply grow old and stop being "hot"?

Maybe Shaft simply hasn't expressed it, but it comes across like weight had more value in his relationship than anything else, which IMO is a very immature outlook. When you're in a 3 year long relationship, I'd hope there'd be more than just the physical aspect of your relationship that gives you a feeling of loyalty and respect towards your partner.

And it's that last bit that it comes down to. He didn't do the right thing and showed her quite a bit of disrespect by not simply ending it. Fine, so he's no longer attracted to her.. it's still not really a valid excuse for his behavior.

You mean that women's looks are fleeting. With a little physical effort and a proper diet, guys look good well into their 60's. And after that, its the sweet embrace of death.


Bring that good old red rep!

Truth is, the standard for men is significantly lower than the standard for women. Toss a couple laugh lines and some wrinkles on a man, he's distinguished. Do the same to a woman, she's "ridden hard and put away wet" or "led a rough life".

However, give me a guy with a few gray hairs, a few laugh lines, a little pot belly, toss in a sense of humor, a decent job, and a strong respect for most people and I'm twenty times happier than if I had a 21 year old with rock hard abs. I don't mean to say that makes me in any way better than someone who judges on looks first, I'm just saying I like the results a hell of a lot better.

Nikki is right, I did not do the right thing. But this whole thing is coming off track and you're missing the point.

It's true about women though. I'm gonna get flames for this but you can't tell me I'm wrong. Women, as far as looks go, are at their most valuable point right now, or whenever right now is. Womens physical beauty departs as they get older. It's why older men bang younger chicks and vice versa. For men, we get more valuable as time goes on. We generally make more money and our looks don't get as bad.

Chew on that ladies

But generally speaking, women get older and their looks fade and suddenly the once hot 25 year old is now 50 and she's not quite the same as she used to be. There are exceptions to the rule. Hell, even Stephanie Seymour has some cellulite and baggage, and she was once one of the hottest women on the planet.

And you guys get ED. Fair trade off. I'd rather have some saggy skin than a saggy, flaccid penis.

They have drugs for saggy, flaccid penis. I haven't seen any drugs for butt-ass ugly.

Amusingly, it's the women that obsess over their beauty in their younger years and go to tanning salons once a week (or simply tanning on the beach) that end up super-wrinkled/saggy down the road because they couldn't bother listening to basic dermatological advice.
