Do you consider sexting cheating?

[mammacub]

Posting in relation to friend’s situation. Her ex (who is also the father of her child) has been sexting her recently (sending dick pics etc) despite having a new girlfriend who he has been with for over a year. Do others considering this cheating and, if so, would you stay with your partner is you found out they were sexting someone else?

Yes.

Yes

Of course it’s cheating, absolutely no doubt at all.

Yes it's cheating.
How is your friend reacting: is she reciprocating the sexting? Ignoring? Asking him to stop?

Of course it is

Yes

I don't think it matter what it's called, I'm sure he'd argue that it's not, but it's definitely not OK and that's what matters.

Yes.

It's cheating, I would leave. Your friend should tell the girlfriend

Yes it is cheating. Even if it is just the messaging the intent is there for it to happen

Yes

She said she won’t tell his girlfriend as she doesn’t want the father of her child to hate her and she said he’s in a happy relationship with current gf so doesn’t want to ruin that.

Isn't this illegal now under the Online Safety Act as it falls under Cyberflashing?

Honestly, men really need to learn embarrassment. It's cheating at best.

100% yes

Yes cheating & no I wouldn’t stay.

It's illegal if unsolicited.

And yes it is cheating and no I wouldn't stay with him.

Well I'm presuming the friend hasn't been asking for the pictures?

Yes of course it is

Absolutely, and also so inappropriate and disgusting. I feel bad for both women.

Yes. And I'd dump anyone who sent me or anyone else a dick pic anyway. Yuck. Just unnecessary. Why do they think we want one?

Yes, it's cheating.
Is your friend reciprocating the messages or has she asked him not to / to stop?

Yes. And he's sexting his EX? while with a new girlfriend? How fucked up can you get?

On the occasions that I've been sent obnoxious texts or explicit photos from men, I've always checked them out online and sent screenshots to either their partner, or their mother. This was mostly back when I was on Facebook, and the stupid sods often forgot to hide their friends list, or forgot who's listed on their profiles as family.

Sexting is totally cheating.

Yes its cheating. Why tf do men send dick pics? Who wants to see that?!
