Interesting read. I do agree that cheating is not only a physical act but one that is achieved through words, and behind the scenes flirtations. One must ask themselves, would you act that way if your partner was there to witness it ? If you answer no, then you have committed an act of cheating. Though there are different levels of cheating in my mind, it is something that each couple must agree on and live accordingly to maintain a respectful balance within the relationship.Now is having sex with a male if you are male or sex with a female if you are female, cheating if your partner doesn't know about it or has not given you their consent to do so cheating ? In my mind, without a doubt, that is cheating. In our relationship my wife is straight and I am bisexual, this was discussed the first date of us getting together. Do I want to see my wife with another woman ? Hell ya that would be great but it is something that will never come to pass as it just isn't her thing. No problem. As far as me being with another man, that is something that we have discussed as well. Not one on one but the three adults together. If i were to go on the side and have some fun with a man without her knowing, that is cheating even though she knows I am bisexual. If I were to have a one on one session with her consent, then that is not cheating as she knows exactly what I am up to and who I am up to it with.In my opinion, there are too many people in relationships where they are too afraid to tell their partners about their desire to be with the same sex in fear that their partner will lose their mind and leave them. If people would just be honest and share exactly who they are and what their desires are with the people they are with, these issues wouldn't be such a hurdle to overcome. Communication is the key and without it, it is only a matter of time till it all falls apart. In my opinion of course. :)
Such a great explanation. Communication is paramount. We all have different desires, but if we openly express them we can come to an understanding and avoid so much conflict. I couldnt agree more with your posts
