Did He Really Cheat On You?

Posted by James, 22 Sep 16

Most men have been called cheaters by their spouses. But do people interpret this term correctly?

Say you are in a relationship with a woman. You decide to take a break. While on the break, she accidentally walks in on you having sex with another woman. Is it that cheating? How about if you are just friends with benefits? Separated?

A woman in a 'friends with benefits' kind of arrangement might accuse a man of cheating because she was probably under the assumption that their arrangement was exclusive. If you are on a break from the relationship and you sleep with another woman, you will be accused of infidelity because the woman expected you to take time off and reflect on your relationship. Basically, she is accusing you because she had hope that you two would patch things up and get back together.

Looking at the above scenarios, I wouldn't call this cheating because the relationships in both instances are unofficial. Plus the woman 'felt' cheated.

This doesn't mean that women shouldn't call men out for infidelity. Cheaters shouldn't get away with their behavior. We should make the definition more finite as opposed to pegging the definition on the feeling of being cheated on.

So in my opinion I think cheating should strictly be limited to romantic activities that happen outside ones relationship with a wife or girlfriend. 'Separated', 'on a break' or 'friends with benefits' scenarios don't count. What say you?

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
