So I just read a study about what women and men consider cheating. . so what would you consider cheating? Is there a type of cheating that you think you could forgive?
Sexual Relations
Kissing (one time)
Online relationship with a female stranger
Very close friendship with a female with emotional intimacy but nothing physical

I believe everything you listed is a form of cheating. However, some could be forgivable but with some serious talking & therapy to look into why it happened to begin with.
I could never forgive a sexual relationship that has occurred more then once! That is blatant calculated cheating & not just a possible mistake.

I consider all of the above cheating and I honestly don't think I could forgive.

all of those are cheating and i think it would be really really hard for me to forgive. but i would be willing to try to forgive based on the type of cheating it was.

All are cheating. Physical cheating is unforgiveable to me, but I think I might be inclined to try to go to counseling, etc. for the others. But it would take a very long time for me to feel as if my DH could be trusted after that, if at all.

All are cheating but I really don't know if I would forgive or not. I guess until I was actually in the situation, I wouldn't know. The trust would be gone entirely though, and that's something that DH and I have built our entire relationship on starting from when we became friends 6 years ago.

I think all are cheating, and I'm not sure if I could forgive anything. I wouldn't know unless I was in the situation, which god willing I won't have to be, but I would probably be more inclined to forgive emotional cheating.

I consider all of those cheating. I could NEVER forgive if it was physical, but I might be able to forgive if nothing physical happened.

Re: NWQOTD - Thursday
all of them are cheating... i think emotional is almost the worst.. b/c that means that some kind of feeling is not shared anymore. as someone who considers herself to have emotionally cheated in the past, for me it means that your feelings for someone are no longer there, or are not as strong as they used to be and something is wrong. i think that could be helped with some counseling and devoting the efforts to bringing that feeling back (if it can be). in my situation i was in an abusive relationship on all levels. and the emotional tie with my ex was gone and after all the abuse coudln't be saved.. and honestly didn't want to be saved.

Re: NWQOTD - Thursday
all of them are a form of cheating...... but kissing one time, perhaps i could forgive, esp if it was like some randoooooommm stranger like in a bar situation and DH was like totally drunk, although i would be devastated i dont think id throw away my marriage for that. Other forms i cant forget..... or forgive!

Re: NWQOTD - Thursday
I consider cheating all of the above except the very close friendship. While that would probably be tough, it would not be cheating. My best friends have always been guys and I am still close with many of them. DH is understanding and I would be if the situation was reversed. Actually at the wedding I went to two weeks ago, the groom and I are emotionally connected and we just laugh about how we were each others safetys. I love his wife and he loves DH.
However if the woman in question had an attitude with me and wasn't friendly with me, then I would find it threatening and want an end to it. I still wouldn't consider it cheating.
I could forgive kissing and online if it happened once, maybe even twice. But I could not forgive a sexual relationship.
(Unless it was with one of the celebrities on his list.)

Re: NWQOTD - Thursday
Thanks for all your honesty girls! I agree that all are cheating. . onyl exception for me might be the emotional one. . DH does have some female friends he is close with that I feel totally comfortable with their relationship and I'm okay with that. .
I think the most important thing is that you come to agreements in your relationship and stick to those. . and trust is almost impossible to regain. .

Re: NWQOTD - Thursday
I agree...all are cheating.
DH cheated on me while we were dating. It was devastating. We broke up for awhile...saw other people...reconnected...got pregnant with our son, and here we are.
It took ALOT to get to where we are today. I never thought Id get back to this place. Although I forgave...I will never forget. Nor will I ever trust him with my heart 100%. But we do love each other very much and we're past it now
