what do you think?

Answer 1

no its not cheating unless your face to face and doing anything sexual your still aloud to flirt but other than that your ok

Answer 2

its a step away from cheating - even if just emotionally  

Answer 3

Depends if your hiding it, What the topic of discussion is.. that sort of thing... YES it could be.. but just Hey how is it going type of stuff.. nope i dont feel so.

Answer 4

Chatting can be cheating, if you are exchanging inappropriate comments. The form of communication doesn't matter...the context and intent do.

If you are talking about s*x, wanting to get together non-platonically, or saying anything that 1) you wouldn't say to that person in front of your partner or 2) saying anything you wouldn't want your partner to say to someone else...then you shouldn't be doing it either.

Doesn't matter if it's Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, email, telephone, passing paper notes, or sending smoke signals...it's what you are saying or what you mean that matters. Not how you get the message to the other person.

Answer 5

Depends whats being discussed... even if it's not sexual they can end up connecting on a more serious level... gotta becareful w/ that!!

Not cheating BUT can turn into ur worse nightmare!!

Answer 6

that depends- talking about what's on TV tonight ***or*** talking about sexual turn-ons.  Put the shoe on the other foot- how would YOU like it if your spouse or lover was skypeing someone else?

Answer 7

If your involved in a relationship and the kind of chatting your doing is of a sexual nature, then I'd say yes, but if your just being friendly; with no sexual overtones, then I'd say no.

Answer 8

Well unless you are talking about getting together with that person and doing things with him then no.

And even then i would understand if your bf is mad if he finds out but its a difference between saying and doing something.

Now if you're married it's still not cheating but it's not right either.

Idk which is your situation.

hope this helps. 8)

Answer 9

Depends who you're talking to / what it's about.

I talk on Skype to my friend who is overseas, and another that lives in another town - both of the opposite s*x.  All innocent.

Answer 10

How is talking to someone cheating? I guess it depends on what you talk about.  

Answer 11

No, talking isn't cheating. Especially if the person is your friend.

Answer 12

only if you use the handset in unnatural ways

Answer 13

yes I do,because if you are having to ask it probably isn't right

Answer 14

No

Answer 15

Depends on how much you talk and what you talk about!!!!

However you should never put yourself in the spotlight of dought....

Answer 16

if you would let your spouse read what you're writing it's not.  YOU know if your having inapproriate conversations.

Answer 17

It depends on what you are chatting about.

i think you might be feeling a little bit guilty, or you wouldn't have asked the question. Think if you found your partner doing the same thing. How would it make you feel? I think you know the answer already.  

Answer 18

No, but talking on Yahoo messenger is.
