Cheating is going behind someone's back... deceiving... lying.

Let me put it to you this way. If I am playing a game of Monopoly with you and I sneak some extra cash out of the bank without telling you, am I cheating? Of course I am.

Now how about if I simply say, "I'm not happy with the way the game is going, so I'm going to take some extra money now." Is that cheating? You may say it is. But you are in a position where you can choose to either continue playing the game with me under these "new rules" that I have just made up for my benefit, or saying "to hell with you, the game is over." To me, that is NOT "cheating" because you have the facts and you are in control.

Relationships are the same way. They all have different rules. Anything is fair game as long as you are COMPLETELY HONEST about it. If you can't imagine telling your husband that you want to trade text messages with another man, then you need to forget about one guy or the other.

Illithid agony auntDepends on the couple. Some people feel it's not cheating if you don't touch, but let me ask you two questions: Would YOU be happy if your HUSBAND were texting sexy things and getting off on thoughts of some other WOMAN? And are you being honest with your husband about this?

If you can't honestly say yes to the first question, you're cheating. If you can't say yes to the second question, you're lying.

rambini agony auntit isnt physical cheating but it is emotional cheating. i think your husband would be angry and hurt if he found out, which is really what you should be concerned about rather than tecnicalities.

for you to be seeking this online gives the impression that your sex life with your husband is not exciting/fulfilling in which case that is the problem you should be addressing.

best of luck x

it's not cheating, but you may aswell have.

turn it around, how'd you like it if your husband was sex texting things to another woman?

surely your husbands job is to satisfy you, why'd you go elsewhere?
