Is it cheating or is it ok?

Question

If you and your boyfriend/girlfriend split up for a period of time (say 1-3 months) and one of you has s*x w/ another person during that time or even has a short relationship is that cheating?

Does this apply to husbands/wives as well or is a marriage separation different?

Your opinion.

I think it is not cheating for boyfriend/girlfriend relationship but not sure I feel about a marriage separation.

Answer 1

When the two couple split off they entitle to do what they please.

So you and your husband split off, during that period of time you can have a orgy if you want and he have no saying in it.

And it is going the same with him.

Only if you just want space and trying to working thing out and you pulling that **** than i would say you are trying so hard to keep that relationship together

Answer 2

cheating...what a word....im thinking about that...i have been thinking aobutthat since i met this guy...

Answer 3

No, its not cheating.  People who are a couple generally (but not always) have pledged to be monogamous.  When that couple breaks up, that pledge is gone.  Why would you be faithful to someone you're no longer with?  

This if for marriages as well as more casual relationships.  The only difference between separation and divorce are legal ones.  Presumably if you are separated you are each planning on going your separate ways.  (If you're hot, I have no idea why you would be separated)

Answer 4

Gee, we are all looking to get approval for what we do. I guess I will seperate from my wife tonight, have s*x with another woman, & get back together with wife on Sunday & it will be OK !!!!

Answer 5

If you split up, married or not-then no you are not cheating. I think the exception would be if you seperate & are unsure if the marriage has a chance or not, then you are cheating. Especially if you are still seeing that person & talking about the issues.

Answer 6

If you are married and separated, I dont' think it's cheating. Some people takes years to divorce.  

Answer 7

I don't know. That's a tough question. It's one thing if you separate for a week and hook up with someone else and another if you are separated for 6 months or something.

I'd expect my husband to be honest with me once we got back together though.  

Answer 8

I think if you are separating because at least one half of the relationship fully intends for it to dissolve, then it is not cheating. However, I know a man who did not even date until his divorce was final to model honorable behavior for his children. If children are involved, best not to do anything at all. However, not really cheating because when people break up, at least one of them has the intention that it is over.

Answer 9

i agree bf/gf split thats cheating married couples split but not divorced cheating

Answer 10

I agree with you... if you're not married and you split up, youre single... but if you're married it would technically be adultery until you got a divorce...

Answer 11

If you're dating somebody, and you break up, then i believe you're viewed as single. now if you two are in the habit where one of you breaks up with the other one on a regular basis just so that you can sleep with somebody else and say "but we were broken up" that's cheating!! (i know a few young couples that pull that c**p!) If you're married and you "separate" I believe it is adultery, unless you are legally separated going through the divorce living in separate homes and the what not.  

Answer 12

Cheating is never a good thing. Ask yourself how you would feel if you were the cheatee instead of the cheater. However in a bf/gf situation, if you  all split up, you and her are fair game. If you were married, it wouldn't matter. No cheating whether separated or not.
