Internet dating/flirting

I've been with the DP for several years and we live together but work irregular shifts. Unfortunately this means we don't get to spend much time to get intimate with eachother

His choice of shifts means I often feel seriously sexually unsatisfied and I do miss the physical relationship. I stumbled into chatting to random men on the internet in a sexual manner in order to live out fantasies. By the time I'm done I feel guilty all over. It has even led to photos being exchanged.

I know I will never meet these men or do anything with them but I do still get this feeling of guilt? Am I cheating on him? I still adore him and couldn't live without him, but I have these chemical needs I suppose. I'm choked full of hatred of myself as I write this

so many MNers post about their man doing this - now they can see it from the other side (and a woman), it's not as black/white as normally portrayed, so a useful post!
OP maybe you should up the quality and amount of sex when on weekends?

FabbyChic · 20/01/2012 21:40

You are cheating thats why you feel guilty its wrong.

Sparks1 · 20/01/2012 21:45

"His choice of shifts"

Is it a choice? Or is it a requirement of his job ?

Either way it speaks volumes about either you or him..

Dotmurray · 20/01/2012 22:10

Likeatonnerofbricks the thing is we used to have a exotic sex life...we did EVERYTHING! maybe it was the fact we did it all nothing was left and the spark had gone :(

Fabbychic or fatty chic. You're not helpful and I dont think it is cheating

Sparks1 - You make a good point, he does choose them occasionally but on the whole hes asked to

Hang about Dot, Fabby was just answering your question!

If it's not cheating in your eyes then why do you feel guilt and self-hatred?

SingingTunelessly · 20/01/2012 22:33

Agree with Fabby tbh, you feel you are cheating and that's why you feel guilty. Leaving aside the cheating part if you want to, if you are "choked full of hatred" like you say then why do it to yourself?

ohdearwhatdoidonow · 20/01/2012 22:36

You are sharing sexual feelings with someone other than your oh. If my DH did it to me I would feel betrayed.

ImperialBlether · 20/01/2012 22:39

Dot, do you realise how nasty that sounded, when you spoke to Fabby?

ImperialBlether · 20/01/2012 22:40

She was saying you were cheating - why not ask your partner to see whether he agrees with her, eh?

friendswithbenefits · 20/01/2012 22:40

I agree with Fabby

Punkatheart · 20/01/2012 22:42

Did you not see the documentary talhotblonde? A warning if ever there was one. Also - you actually have no idea who these men are and you are sending photos? One of them could work with your hubby/live next door to you.

Legobuildingpro · 20/01/2012 23:03

Oh hello troll. You are the one who has banged on about gobbling cock, every five minutes haven't you? Wank net is this way >>>

AbbyAbsinthe · 20/01/2012 23:06

I don't often agree with Fabby, but I do on this one. Make any excuses you like, but this is cheating. If my DP was doing this, I would end the relationship.

AbbyAbsinthe · 20/01/2012 23:06

Oh. It's a cock-gobbling troll Sad

I'm a little bit disappointed if I'm honest.

makeyerowndamndinner · 20/01/2012 23:08

Legobuildingpro is right. The op has been having a right laugh winding people up all over the place.

Best ignored.

Dotmurray · 21/01/2012 00:00

I don't think I am cheating to be honest I just get lonely and bored. And they are sending me photos not me sending them photos.

Thanks for the pointer.

likeatonneofbricks · 21/01/2012 00:17

are you sure you want to be in a relationship? sounds like you haven't played the field enough!

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 21/01/2012 11:41

Op is an unoriginal troll, possibly from a forum largely comprised of unfunny males.

flatbellyfella · 21/01/2012 16:01

Like Fabby said its cheating.

TooMuchInLove · 21/01/2012 16:07
