BellaOnline Forums Relationships Marriage is internet relationship cheating?

I totally agree,

I agree also, althought I am not really sure how you would develop a romantic relationship on the internet - I am very niave (not sure I spelled that right). I guess if you are looking for that online then yes it is cheating.

I agree with the emotional cheating. Plus - I think it opens up the door to a person cheating "in real life".

When you start turning to someone whom you are intersted in to vent your problems about your spouse or partner, it's a type of betrayal right there. The person you should be speaking with about these problems is your partner, becausr that is the only way to work things out.

It's too easy for someone on the outside looking in to offer a comforting shoulder with what seems to be complete support. But that is only for the short-term.

sites for Cyber-affairs? Ok good atleast we know they are all in one place and not running amuck LOL - I crack me up. But seriously, It is a sad situation. Most people who do this, I think, would never actually have the guts to cheat otherwise.
They can claim that it is not really cheating if they've never met the person. So in their small minds, they are not doing anything wrong.

And when the dirty talk is over,or the romantic talk, whatever , does it go to bed with you. just think of someone turning your partner on, and then turning to you to get off. i call it cheating

Yes, it's cheating.

If you're single, look at it as good, harmless fun. If you're in a relationship, doesn't matter if its a few months or a few years, it's cheating you out of an emotional, physical and spiritual experience.

One cheats even by sharing emotional problems on the internet.
Cheating is cheating which leads to more. When one is so vulunable it is easy to seek comfort from another source. If one loves the person they are with ..Talk with each other..seek help together through counslers or ministers. If your loved one won't go that sends a message also. But you seek all the help through those who trained so you can make good decesions. Not the internet.

I fell in love with my husband online, so I really think online relationships(when you are otherwise entwined) are definitely cheating. They're making an emotional connection to someone other than their spouse.
