Even now, after 5 years, she still hasn't told her parents about her continuing relationship with this other man.
Guilt can shift the moral conpass of the cheater.
They will justify it in their heads to make it fit how they want.Guilt can shift the moral conpass of the cheater.
I knew a girl who claimed she had never cheated although we knew she shagged half the town.
"because they always wear a condom" she was completely convinced she was true to her husband.
Another would only give BJs' again not cheating in her head.

that's giving someone else your heart ie switching your emotional attachment, seeking emotional support, confiding in, and seeking advice about important and personal matters, the other things are pretty meaningless as stand alone events.

Ludicrous..
None of those are cheating, or even possible.
Give someone your heart? Never heard such bks in my life.
If my wife said to me- "Oh, I gave my heart to Bob next door" I would laugh and reply "Oh you are a silly lesbian sometimes".
Whereas if she said to me " Last night I sucked Bob off and let him bum me" then I would reply, somewhat curtly, "You cheating slag. Get out and take your slut tits with you".

The list is all physical.
I think someone would be equally upset to discover that their partner spends all day gazing at a colleague, utterly smitten and 'in love' with them.
Just 'cause you're on a diet, doesn't mean you can't look at the desserts menu...I think someone would be equally upset to discover that their partner spends all day gazing at a colleague, utterly smitten and 'in love' with them.

...I have tried so many times to mrs slopes that just because i am looking at someone, doesnt always mean i want to fk it, ...
Yes it does.http://www.laddertheory.com
You don't want to love "it", but you do want to fk "it".
Kiss on cheek and matey hug both fine, sharing bed to sleep, not sure, think that'd be ok. The rest no, to me they are intimacies that should not be shared with others if already in a relationship.
However I'd also get a bit peeved if other half appeared besotted by another, even if not intimate with them.
I'm not a paricularly jealous person, yet I'm aware this response may seem to show otherwise!

I think it is man's natural instinct to assess the 'would I' factor at some point, when he meets a woman for the first time.
Over the years, I have come to realise that a lot of wiminz assess men this way even more so.
That is absolutely true! without doubt every woman a bloke ever sees gets this assesment within 1 second of seeing her! Over the years, I have come to realise that a lot of wiminz assess men this way even more so.
this is just instinct rather than desire to play away.
It's an intersting question. I read an article the other day about a raise in the number of 'cheating' websites. People wanting sex outside of marrige or long term relationships. You could look without login in and read profiles, many of the people on there, male and female, were very specific about the requirements and that they didn't want anything other than a physical 'hit'. The women particually were brutal in the 'I love my husband, I just want a bit of sexual variety' they all seemed to be reasonably intelligent older people with good jobs.
So, there are many people out there who can detach emotions from the physical and I would therefore think that they would not consider anything physical cheating but don't want an emotional attachment as that is cheating. I couldn't detatch like that. I've never cheated in a realationship and I love my wife. Even if you gave me 100% assurance I wouldn't get caught, as much as I like to look at girls and think 'yes please' I could never actually go through with it.

I'm talking about heartfelt passion - unrequited love.

Cheating is not all about being physical
