would you consider cybering a form of cheating
if you have regular contact on a daily basis with someone ?

me personally i would say yes

as in my mind if you are thinking of being with someone else and acting it out even in words its being dishonest to your dp there for i would class it as cheating

its about where you are emotionally and if you are distant with dp and thinking of someone else then thats cheating

I'm afraid I would. If it is taking one spouses attention / emotional allegiance away from the other spouse, it would definitely make me very nervous.

no

It may depend on the amount of time spent cybering with other person and the content of the posts, though, I suppose.

IMO, Yes it's a form of betrayal.
If DP was doing it I'd be pretty fucking annoyed, and vice versa.

barnical · 26/05/2008 13:29

I agree with little.

VictorianSqualor · 26/05/2008 13:31

Oh, also, thinking about it, it depends if it's hidden.

Some people may be happy with their partners doing it, and be open about it, in that respect it's not cheating, but the moment you hide it from them, it becomes something different.

eenybeeny · 26/05/2008 13:33

I think its cheating. And very unhealthy emotionally if you want to sustain a relationship.

detoxdiva · 26/05/2008 13:38

If dp is happy for you to know about the contact and the content of his conversations, then no. Any secrecy, then yes.

Pheebe · 26/05/2008 16:33

If it's a secret from your partner then yes it is cheating (obviously not refering to you personally )

Hasn't it actually stood up in court as grounds for divorce...Might be in the US, but I've definitely read about it
