I most definitely agree with you!Amagine wrote:It was definitely cheating. He was talking inappropriately with another woman who wasn't his wife. I don't even want to imagine the kind of conversations he must've had with her.

It is cheating, loud and clear. It may not be considered as such in court, but it isn't the only consideration.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:It is definitely cheating but if this person is real, I do not want to judge him immediately. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. In court, I believe the issue on infidelity will not pass because there is no physical contact.

I agreed that it was cheating. I did n9t say it was not cheating, but I was saying, I do not want to judge him. We need to see both sides of the coin. Why did he do that? There was a reason. Did he try to resist the temptation? He did.gali wrote:It is cheating, loud and clear.

Emotional involvement is just as bad, if not worse. Both are infidelity in my book.yellosteel wrote:Having an emotional attachment with someone other than one's partner does not qualify as infidelity in so far there was no physical involvement.

Well,am not saying its not but the point is...getting involved emotionally with another person is a sure indication of a crack in that relationship, and it may well be a form of distraction when not taken further.

If one wants to save his marriage (as was the case in the book), keeping a virtual lover isn't a good step in that direction...yellosteel wrote:Emotional involvement is just as bad, if not worse. Both are infidelity in my book
