Cheating - Where do you draw the line?

[HSK]

I draw the line at kissing, and sexually suggestive talk etc. If i knew my girl was talking dirty to another guy that would probably bring me rage and things would go downhill.

and flirting with others? i wouldn't like that either.

[Rave]

I'd say that, for me, snogging is the line in the sand. My wife is an attractive woman and blokes often chat her up when she's out with her mates. I don't have a problem with her flirting back a bit. If she got off with someone though that would be unacceptable.

Women don't flirt with me, so from my perspective the question is academic.

Things like linking arms and things are fine by me, but it can change if I'm around.
For example if someone gets touchy feely with my gf and I'm right there, its a massive act of disrespect in my book.
I've had a big rugby player grab my gfs ass right in front of me before, and I shouted at him to come back.
She's expressly told me that if I ever start a fight in front of or near or because of her, she's gone.
Whether or not she'd actually leave me because of it, I don't know but I do know she'd be very displeased.
I got the guy to apologise (I'm 6ft5", and not skinny, but last time I fought anyone I was 13, 19 now) which I felt was the best I could do, especially as all his mates were paying attention.
My gf pretty damn smokin' (being modest here ) and gets a lot of attention in clubs etc without dressing sluttily at all. So i have to learn to deal with it.

Goosing women in bars and clubs is oafish/disprespectful behaviour to be sure- but what do you expect from rugby players ().

I'd say that defending your lady's honour is outdated in this day and age. On the rare occasions that I've been out with my wife in a group and a bloke who I don't know has been chatting to her one on one for a few minutes, enough to make me wary, I just walk up and ask her to introduce him to me. It has inevitably turned out to be an old school or work friend etc. If anybody did ever goose her in my presence, I reckon a look from me would be enough to persuade him to ply his wares elsewhere. If it wasn't, he'd regret it of course, but it's never happened yet, and I don't expect it to.

Back in the mists of time, women used to goose me- I used to cycle a lot, and I had hair then.....

Out of interest, since everyone seems so adamant that penetrative sex is classified as cheating, where do swingers fit on your moral radar, even if you yourself would never do that, does it still count as cheating if your other half is standing there watching?

[HSK]

^ if both people involved knows and are ok with whatever goes on, then thats their business. i class cheating as something you don't know about, lied too etc, and not happy about.

[Stringent]

If I found txts or emails of a flirt nature (stumbled upon, or had reason to believe so 'checked') I would enquire and ask her about them first. I'm the type of guy who at least gives the other side a chance to explain. It wouldn't go down well with me but I'd hardly 'dump' her for that, if she says sorry. (how many times to be forgiven is another matter) But if she goes back on it then I would probably have to say, well you obviously aren't happy with me so go.

Cheating starts by flirting. So best bang it on the head before it gets worse IMO.

But it does come down to trust in the end though.

[Zadock]

no she's a tiny little thing lol Can't exactly hit back and she can run faster and futher than me

Short, cute women I likes them like that to

NOT MIDGETS (before you can say anythig SiM)

Kissing is where I draw the line but I get pretty pissed off before that point, that is the point I become unpleasent.

[staffsMike]

There is a bit of a height difference lol

I'm 6' 1" and shes about 5' 2" (5' 1and 3/4's") lol

don't tend to notice it though.

[SiM]

So where would the line be if you are with a female friend? How far would you take it? (In your opinion not your gf's!)

Hand on ass/breast?

[SiM]

no she's a tiny little thing lol

are you sure she is over 18?

[Bazzlad]

So what are your views/opinions?

It's black and white for me -
Any fluids being spilt/shared is cheating - anything else is not.

[staffsMike]

are you sure she is over 18?

Lol she's older than me, so yes.

[SiM]

Lol she's older than me, so yes.

damn, I wanted to post that pedobear pic... "I swear I didn't know she was 3"

What about keeping in contact with friend that you have known for around 6 months (example, letting the friend into your place, etc, etc) that fancies you (e.g. tried to kiss you but you rejected) and your other half knows about it and is annoyed about it (even though you tell your other half there is nothing going on)?

[staffsMike]

Well thats a bit like my example of the girl my gf hates. I'd nip it in the bud personally. If a friend fancies you, are they really a friend?
