Is it Considered Cheating?

[Guest]

Do you consider it cheating to kiss a person other than your spouse?

 

[LukkyKnight]

If you're not sure - as in, if you're asking - it is.

Having no spouse this is not an issue for me, though.

 

[Bindii]

If your spouse doesn't know about it - then yes I would consider it cheating.

[paganangel]

yes.

 

[Coralee]

I agree with Emerald. It depends on the kind of kiss.

 

[Wiggles]

He's not too jealous of mom, so no.

And I think you should go by your own rules. The very fact that you're asking says to me that you think it is.

 

[InnocentAngel81]

if your married it is, if your not in a serious relationship it isnt

 

[MissTaken]

I think it would depend on the nature of the kiss.


And, does the spouse know that you are friends? Would he or she be terribly surprised or hurt to know?

Was it a chaste, comfie kiss between friends or....


I have kissed married friends, even snuggled. I didn't consider it cheating as there was a very clear understanding that nothing untoward would happen. I have always been clear with my friends that I would never allow myself to be a deciding factor in the demise of a marriage.

As for your question, it is what is in your heart that counts.

It could also depend on why you kissed them? What were your feelings our intentions. You don't have to be having sex to be considered cheating. You can be unfaithful to the heart.

My take: if spouse woulf consider it cheating, and you know that. Then it would be cheating.

Do you consider it cheating to kiss a person other than your spouse?

I assume you don't mean kissing your parent or sibling, etc.? I also assume this is without the knowledge or permission of your spouse? I also assume this is not just an innocent kiss you give normally give friends on meeting them or something like that?

Then yep - it is cheating. Just sharing intimate confidences with members of the opposite sex is cheating in many people's minds; it is called alienation of affections, as it takes away from the relationship with your spouse.

agree married or in a relationship of any type, kissing another person besides your S.O whatever you call him/her isnt right,

 

[Mistress]

If they do not know yes, and in some cases even if they do know its still yes. My boyfriend would not think of it as cheating if I kissed another female but I'm pretty damn sure he would get fired up if it was another guy. Same with me, I would kick both asses if he was to kiss another woman. Kissing to me is very intimate, it carries emotions, the right kind of kissing can make me fall deep into the other person....

I love kissing, it means alot to me, so YES it would be cheating.

 

[OpposingBalance]

Opposite sex?
Yes.
Same sex?
Only if you swing that way.

 

[Sillyman]

Generally no, but I would want to know why. If it's because of lust, than they should probably stay away from that person and reevaluate their current relationship.

 

[Reverie]

If it's anything more than a closed mouth peck as a greeting or goodbye, then it's cheating when you're in a commited relationship. Actually, I wouldn't even like my S.0 (if I had one ) to kiss a woman in greeting unless I knew her well myself and considered her a friend. If my guy is in need of affection then he should come to me, not any other woman. But that's just my opinion. What other people choose to do in their relationships is up to them. At the end of the day, you have to answer to yourself.

Think about it this way.. how would YOU feel if YOUR spouse kissed someone else?

p.s. I pretty much agree with everyone else..I would consider it a bad bad thing for my spouse or SO to do (if I had one that is )

 

[Monazwx]

A full-on, tongue probing your tonsils kiss is cheating.
Anything else to me is fair.

 

[Weevil]

Depends.

If I kissed a woman once, even passionately but afterwards didn't act out on this relationship because I loved my wife then, no, I don't think I would have been cheating.

I don't think the ball and chain would let me kiss another woman in front of her though.

It's all in degrees.

 

[Coralee]

I think what you have to keep in mind is that some people, like myself, are just huggy, kissy kind of people. Simply because a person kisses a someone other than a SO or relative doesn't automatically qualify it as cheating.

However, if a person is well aware that their SO would consider it cheating that is really what matters most.

 

[Suzi]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I agree with Ice Cold...It would depend on what was in your heart at the time you did it. If you wanted to fuck that person and you kissed, just cuz you wanted to see how it would feel...I would think that cheating. My ex was not faithful to me in his heart, hell, not in his mind either! lol

[Latinababe]

I would say the same thing depends on the kiss.
