Would you consider swapping nudes and messaging someone daily for months cheating?

I’m shamelessly posting here for more traffic (have posted in relationships)

I’m so upset to find out that my partner has been messaging another woman for months and swapping multiple nude photos - I feel he is now gaslighting me and minimising the situation - he says there was no physical intimacy so it’s not cheating.

Please help me :( feel like I’ve been gut punched - I thought we were so happy

Of course.

It is cheating no matter what. Tell him you have also been sexting someone and sending them nudes and watch his reaction that will tell you if he really classes it as cheating or not.

I’m sorry.

absolutely this is cheating.

ask him straight out how he would feel if you were sending nude photos to another man and receiving them to masturbate over. Because that’s what is happening here.

Yes, this is cheating and a complete lack of respect and care for you or the relationship. The fact that he is trying to get away with it based on a technicality is all the more disgusting & shows that he has no remorse. I’m so sorry that you are going through this but please do leave this horrible man.

Yes I would

It doesn’t really matter what you call it, just end the relationship. He doesn’t respect you.

Definitely cheating. Dump this arsehole.
