I still think it's cheating. I think some people always feel that the only way someone will feel cheated on is if it's body contact. I think there is cheating on someone emotionally. Having strong feelings for another person, writing possiblilities online. A lot of people go, "well they didn't have physical contact so it's not cheating," but I think those online conversations can go from leading to one thing to another. Pretty soon they are chatting online and planning to meet up. I think it's a redflag for an even worse situation. However talking to other girls in general is not bad. And having a boyfriend that happens to talk to other girls online isn't a bad thing. My boyfriend talks to a lot of girls quite often when he's on World of Warcraft. However it's no secret and I know these girls too. It seems innocent so I don't get upset. But if this is secretive and it seems like he's pulling away time from you to talk to them, or if he's being more intamite with his word with the online girls than he is with his own girlfriend, than it's cheating it my book. It's not a physical cheating, it's cheating on the relationship in general.

From what I have experienced in relationships in the past, I would definitely call it cheating. There is no reason that he needs to get online and talk to other girls for any reason whatsoever. Alot of people have guy and girl friends and that is okay, but when it comes down to spending quality time with one another, he has no business talking to other girls online at all. He should be having fun with his own girl, not the other ones online.

are these girls in private chat rooms? or in game rooms like on pogo? ya have to think it like this he is a feller and they dont think of it as cheating for they never plan on meeting these girls they (fellers) is talking too. From womans point of veiw it is cheating! can you tell if it is all in fun or getting down and dirty? My son used to do this and his wife got very up set but I was in the game room with him and never seen him answer in an out of the way answer I would sneek he and watch for awhile he never knew I was there unless I talked to him to me I didnt see any thing wrong but then she did. So there is 2 sides to it and they have to talk about it. my son dont play the games any more.

that is a very tricky line. i guess it depends on what he is talkin about with these girls? do you trust him? would he be upset if you were talking to other guys? i mean those are the question you should ask yourself, and him. then take it from there

yes it does exsist but they don't take it as cheating since its just online and usually online relationships are rarely real. unless, they have already met.

As long they dont have body contact it isnt cheating,i use to chat with girls online but only to tell our fantasies,sometimes we try to excite each other
