Ladies, is sexual talk over text or fb messaging labeled as cheating? I need opinions. and please explain why.

To me even if the actual act of sex wasnt done it's still cheating because you've made the other person question your loyalty and you've made the other person jealous and that shouldn't be done at all. Wanting to talk to someone else sexually means u have the desire to be with them and that's cheating . So yeah it's cheating . No man should have the need to speak to another woman but his own in such a way and if he does then he needs to get his priorities straightened out

Yes, that's beyond flirting which is cheating. Just my opinion though.

My hubs and I broke up for two years when I was pregnant with our second. He did those things and was actually cheating on me with that person. It doesn't always mean he's stepping out with someone else, but obviously the thought has crossed his mind if he is talking to another woman in a way only meant for his so.

@mrsmord, said exactly what I was thinking just couldn't put into words. I agree 100%

Yes, definitely cheating! In my eyes if you can talk about doing it, you'll do it. Sex is suppose to be a private bond between you and your partner.

I'm agreeing with these ladies for sure.

I believe it is. You're lusting over a person other than the person you are with. That's hurtful to your partner to know you are thinking of sexual acts and verbally expressing them to that person. That can cause insecurities for your partner as well. Honestly if it has went that far there's a good chance of actual physical contact in the future. I've had experience on both sides of the fence and I just think it's a slippery slope and harmful to the trust in a relationship.

Yes that's cheating, and if he is asking for an explanation why, he is just trying to get you to say whatever and move on. he would be so pissed if you did that, and the fact that you're not ok with it is all that matters. you shouldn't have to try to explain.

ummmm yesssss!! the way I feel is if your talking to another female through text,fb or whatever & you don't tell me about it that is sooo disrespectful & a form of cheating for sure!!!! 😠

Yes!!

basically, if you have to hide it from from SO, it's cheating. if it would hurt them or ruin a relationship, it's cheating.

yes..anything sexual other than with you is cheating. in my opinion anyways

in my opinion yes, just talking about it means they are thinking about actually going through with it..

definitely cheating!

For me i almost think "emotional cheating" such as sexting or sending pictures or emails is almost worse because sooner or later weather or not there was any intentions there feelings are going to evolve and eventually if they aren't banging yet its going to happen, temptation is hard to fight especially for guys. i do think though a lot of guys think its just a game and dont think its going to lead anywhere but from experience those text messages did lead to him meeting up wherever they could to hook up.
