A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Is it ok to chat with other guys over the internet (like nexopia or myspace) when you have a boyfriend? If you aren't being flirty or anything and they are people you know from school or something? Do you have to tell your boyfriend what you are doing or is it no big deal? I dunno the rules about this stuff.

Hey girl..its oke to chat with friends from internet.

and yep do let your boyfriend know that you have friends you chat with over the interent. just so he knows because he might get the wrong idea if he found out himself and besides thats honesty and thats very important in a relationship.

lah mouw agony auntOf course it's okay. Sometimes your significant other may get a little insecure, but just reassure them that the other people(namely guys) you're talking to are strictly just friends.

Hi. As long as your boyfriend knows you are doing 'casual' chatting, it is fine. You do not need to tell him every little detail IF it is only 'casual' chatting and doesn't turn into sexual talk. Then it is Cheating and Wrong. Talking to the opposite sex except about sex is always OK, if your boyfriend is uncomfortable with it, then he has the problem. If you turn it into a sex talk while chatting, then You have the problem.

The 'rules' are what you make them, but if your boyfriend has a problem with it he's very insecure and it really is HIS problem!

It's no different, on that level, to writing, talking on the phone or texting to friends surely?

Hey honey,

I don't think it's a big deal. Like you said, if you aren't flirting, then it's not a problem x

peaches83 agony auntIf there is no other desire other than just to chat then it should be ok. But do inform your boyfriend of this dont keep it a secret otherwise it then looks like you have something to hide and that is not good at all.

Your boyfriend must understand that you will have friends both male and female.

One way of looking at it and deciding is if it was your boyfriend that was asking this question how would you feel and what would you advise???

If you are ok for him to do it then he should be ok with you.

Good luck
