I know making love with another person is not just the only way of cheating with your partner. My husband always tells me that anything that you do that your partner doesnt that involves opposite gender and there's a maliscious intent but NO LOVE MAKING(bed) involve is also considered CHEATING. What are your input to this GUYS/GALS?

No Cheating - Cheating is Forbidden
there are many things that can considered as cheating. such as; flirting is cheating, kissing, touching, and the worst is making love.in fact in a bible thinking of making love or thinking about other then our partner can also considered as cheating

eXACTLY, I agree and the Bible's right,why would you even think of other than your partner?... esp. if there's a maliscious intent. I always tell my husband that whatever's mine is mine and nobody can ruin my family bec. they will step on my grave first before it happen, BUT...if it's my partner that initiated the thing and/or didn't say no or control himself then it's a different story.

I think that if you are commited to someone then even flirting or talking inappropriately is cheating. My husband used to talk to a girl, like oh, i wish you were here, I miss you etc. that overtime eventually leaded to Ilove you.. I think anything sexually oriented should be only with your spouse. It's alright to have friends, just don't cross the line.

wow I'm a very jealous and over protective person, can't take what you're husband's doing. It's gonna be a war for sure. the thing with me is, I don't just give my trust...it's weird bec. even if I'm already married I dont fully trust my husband. I'm so careful bec. i grew up with a womanizer father,uncles and friends. I know men can easily be tempted, just with the teasings of friends...etc. Most of men do things even if they don't mean to hurt their partner just to show that they are MACHO, EGO TRIP. But there are people that we're really just too nice,to the point that they wasnt aware that they are already FLIRTING and that it can hurt their partner if he/she's aware of it. There are people too that they even do that infront of their partner and it's just okay with them. Well, people have just different views and ways how to handle this kind of situation.

I think the keyword there is malicious intent. Even if the two do not end up in bed it would just be a matter of time. Why does the person have to engage in any activity with the opposite gender (could be the same gender, too) without his/her spouse? If there is no legitimate reason for this, then it is doubtful that this is an innocent platonic relationship.

Exactly I agree, if there's a malicious intent then it's cheating. But how about women that's just like attention but no malice involve. My husband always tells me that I have to be careful of how I act when I'm out esp. with him. he said men always gives malice or meannig to womens body language and that's why I have to be careful even if I don't mean anything with it. Just like holding/fixing my hair in public or in a restaurant and when I stare in something where there's a guy sitting somewhere near where I'm staring at. He said that person might think I'm staring at him. I dont know but sometimes I'm thinking is that just jealousy or overprotective?.

I think of cheating as intimate physical contact. A passionate kiss...etc... I had a friend who was even broader in that she considered it any time you share a part of yourself that you don't share with you spouse alone, be in physical or emotional. I think at times it can be a fine line. I see nothing wrong with flirting with someone, by me or my other half, but if you take it any further then you are overstepping your bounds. I think as humans we all crave attention, and want to know that we are desirable, and there is nothing wrong with that. Just be sure that the knowledge is enough, you don't actually need to prove it in a physical way.

I kinda agree with you. My friend calls me a teaser but the truth is, I'm just maybe love attention bec. I'm an only child. It also depends on your partner, if she/he is a jealous person. I'm a very jealous person. I remember attending a counseling, and they said there that the word FAIR can't be always use in a relationship. I always believe in fair game and golden rules. I also believe that if my partner can play a game, i can do it better. Flawless_Skin www.arizona4pinoys.com/bes-skin-lightening-and-whitening-product.html
