is cyber considered cheating?

[bnummerdor]

and does it make it different if you know the person or not....this is more or less a survey for a psych project for school.

Yes it is. Does it feel like it is? Yes.

 

[Viper GTS]

IMHO: Yes.

But then again I'd also consider a lot of things to be cheating, including getting a lap dance at a strip club, & even (GASP!) porn.

Is it considered cheating? Depends. If I ever do it I just mess with people, and usually Napalm is right there.
Is it different if you know the person? It is, and I guess I would consider it cheating then.

 

[bnummerdor]

thanks you input has been very helpful...I am doing a paper on internet and relationships and any little bit of input helps.

 

[Napalm381]

Usually yes, however it depends entirely on the couple. There are quite a few people out there who would say no.

Uh huh, whatever, "Kristin"

 

[prodigy]

You using your other hand now??

 

[tinneric]

This has been discussed several times here and what I have seen seams to indicate that yes it is cheating.

 

[TheDennis]

The way I see it is if you caught your significant other doing it would you get mad. If the answer is yes then you shouldn't do it either.

 

[eakers]

yes its sharing an intimate moment with someone other than your signif. other.

*kat. <-- doesnt think porn is cheating though

 

[Azraele]

IMO: yes.

 

[UnixFreak]

depends on if you are spanking it or not...

 

[gUEv]

cycber isnt considering cheating..its considering stupid

 

[Dameon]

Yes. It's emotional cheating, creating distance between you and your partner.
Cheating for those without the guts to do it for real.

 

[robotcholi]

Give it a hell YEAH!!!! Beside, cyber sucks! You can't feel anything...or can you?

There's a simple formula to apply when figuring out whether or not you are cheating on someone:

Would your significant other would be hurt if he/she was notified of what was going on?

If you answer yes, then it's cheating.

Relationships differ across the board - what may be concidered cheating for one couple may not be for another - but this question encourages honesty and a deep understanding of the other which are both vital to a succsessful relationship.
