Default Is it cheating?

I kind of touched on this in the Bisexuality thread but no one commented on it. Do you consider it cheating if she has sex with another woman while in a committed relationship with you? (For Guys) Or do you consider it cheating if you have sex with another woman while in a committed relationship with a man? (for women)

In the above scenario, it is established that she is bisexual.

I hate to say it . . . but I do consider it cheating.

Really it depends on your interpretation of the word "is" -- ha -- I mean the definition of the word "cheating".

Is any physical activity between your partner and another person "cheating'"? Some people say so. Still others say that cheating requires an emotional investment.

I'm going through something right now that kind of keeps me from saying my actual opinion. Let's just leave it at this -- its cheating, of course its cheating. But does that mean you don't WANT her to cheat?

I've always thought the emotional cheating is far more important and carries more relevance than the physical cheating. I don't think i'd feel as badly if my wife had a one night stand with another woman than if my wife fell in love with another woman.

It depends on the parameters of your relationship. It's only "cheating" if you have an understanding about it that she's breaking. Different people have different understandings.

If it's something she'd need to hide from you in order to keep you from leaving her, it's cheating.

I think you hit the nail on the head Randy, well put.

Ok, so if you have to define it, would you tell your significant other that it's ok for her to have sex with women? Would you put any restrictions on it?

Default Cheating

Yes it is considered cheating even is she is not bisexual. Being with someone else while you are in a committed relationship is cheating regardless how you look at it. This is also a sticky subject with me. People that are separated are still legally married and I believe, therefore, should not be with anyone but their spouse until divorced. That's just my feelings as well.

I've got no problem with my GF engaging in a little girl-on-girl action, as long as I get to take pictures.

But, yeah, I'd be super pissed if she did it behind my back. She'd have to find a Rosie or Ellen to support her sorry butt, because I'd be kickin her to the curb.

I don't think I would ever say its ok. But in my mind I see it as easier to deal with, specially if its only a physical affair.

If I was involved then it would be a Ménage à Trois, which is totally fine by me. I haven't had one of those in a while!
