What is cheating to you?
- As alot of you already said; Doing something with someone else than your gf that you wouldn't want your partner to do with anyone else than you.
Can you forgive and forget?
- I'm not sure. Not forget. Maybe forgive.. But I doubt it.
Are you currently spying on your partner?
-No, I ask her if I want to know something.
Are they curious if you are cheating on them?
- I hope not. It'd be terrible if she has doubts. I'd feel terrible too, doing something she could ever mistrust in any way.
Simple and clear.....

what is cheating to you?
knowing something you do (flitring, kissing, sex, feeling for someone else, whatever the deal is) would really hurt your partner and make them lose their trust in you, but still doing it regardless. Being unfaithful.
can you forgive and forget?
depending on the nature of our relationship. with my girlfriend right now (i love her more than i ever loved someone, i'd marry her if i could) i could understand if she flirted with someone or was fascinated with someone (she gets fascinated with people, but it has never threatened our relationship), or if she kissed someone and told me about it first time she had a chance (i doubt she'd ever go that far). i have to trust her that she wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our relationship, or to betray my trust or hurt me. i need to trust her with that. i need to trust her. i base my relationships on trust. and for me where is no trust there is no love.
so if she cheated, and if she hurt me, i may be able to forgive her, but i don't think i'd b able to trust her again, and she knows it.
and i've had lovers who dated other people as well. i don't have any jealousy issues. it's not about that for me at all. it's all about trust. if we are building our relationship together according to our natures and our needs, and working on it all the time, then we must trust each other that none of us is going to go and destroy all that for passing passion or something like that.
so if you go and do something behind my back, i'm going to find out sooner or later, and shut you out. because i don't do sketchy and unreliable people. i don't do disloyalty.
are you currently spying on your partner?
i was never spying on my partner. partners are no cattle to be watched over. they know where the boundaries are. and i need to trust them they will respect me enough to tell me if they are unhappy. and i'd know.
are they curious if you are cheating on them?
i don't think so. i never cheated. i had multiple partners at times, but i was open about it. if i don't respect people enough to be true and faithful and loyal i don't get involved with them. i don't need someone to make me feel secure or comforted. i don't need someone to love me unless i love them too. and i don't do relationships just not to be lonely or single. and i don't do jealousy. if you can't trust me - leave me.
What she said
What she said (MISTRESS_NEIN)
Infidelity
I'm going to take the definition that most people have of "cheating" and augment it to include mental infidelities. For me, you don't have to physically act on your desires to be unfaithful. It's one thing to be attracted to someone outside your relationship, but if you're constantly fantasizing about others, you're still at fault... mental infidelity or fantasizing about committing infidelities can be just as detrimental to your relationship as actually doing the deed.
If I really love someone, I do have the capacity to forgive them after cheating, although many probably think it's foolish to do so. That said, I can't guarantee that I would still pursue a romantic relationship with them, but I would be willing to make things work platonically. I forgive easily, but I never forget. "Fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me."
I think it's okay for the occasional nosiness, as long as you're motivated purely by curiousity and not suspicion. Being suspicious, or "spying on your partner", only shows that there is a lack of trust in your relationship. You can't truly love someone if you don't trust them. Going along with that, you don't truly love someone if you aim to keep them to yourself and deprive them of having friendships. Jealousy and suspicion are rooted in selfishness, and love revolves around selflessness, sacrifice, and empathy. They can't co-exist.
I totally agree

i am wondering what nosiness
i am wondering what nosiness motivated by curiousity means... like would that include reading your partners emails? following them out? checking their call history? i think that is all completely dysfunctional behaviour... insecurity should not be a motivating factor AT ALL in a healthy relationship... if anyone i was with did that she would be gone so fast her head would be spinning... the ONLY time i think anything like that is even remotely excusable is if your partner has cheated on you before and you have decided to give them another chance... then i can see checking in on some things... but i still think doing that behind their back is offensive... i think you would have to be up front about it
I'm sorry, I did a poor job
I'm sorry, I did a poor job explaining what I meant. I would never do any of the things you mentioned. I guess what I meant was "playful curiousity"... you know, if you saw your significant other talking to some cute girl you hadn't seen before, it'd be okay to say playfully, "Heyyyy who's that? ;) Why don't you introduce me?" I think it's okay to be nosy in that sense. Reading emails, checking their call history, etc... I think that all falls under the "spying" category, and like you said, it's completely dysfunctional behavior. One of the biggest necessities in a relationship is trust... and if you're going to go behind your partner's back to "check up on them"... well, that's a definite no-no. It also has to do with respect... I respect my partner's privacy, as she respects mine. Anyway, I hope this clears things up.

what is cheating to you?
for me cheating is not being able to give your 100% emotionally and sexually because of somebody else's existence
can you forgive and forget?
sure, but I want to see honesty first!
are you currently spying on your partner?
I don't have a partner currently, but I would never do that to anyone, especially the person I love
are they curious if you are cheating on them?
see above (no partner, so...)

what is cheating to you?
i think cheating is just being unfaithful, it's not really something too broad, that's not really fair. it's being unfaithful, being sexually involved with someone other than me, telling someone you love them other than me, or anything like that. that's what makes someone a cheater.
can you forgive and forget?
all day erryday. i have a very hard time holding grudges.
are you currently spying on your partner?
no, i trust her.
are they curious if you are cheating on them?
not at all, she trusts me completely.
Cheating...
-what is cheating to you?
To me, it's unfaithfulness. Sexually or otherwise, like someone said. It's a simple concept, really. If you say you love me alone, then do some shit to make me think twice about that, I feel cheated.
-can you forgive and forget?
I don't quite know. I have never been that confident in my forgive and forget skills. Not when something hurts bad enough. You can't expect one to forgive something you did if you knew, the whole time, that it would affect them like that.
-are you currently spying on your partner?
Nope. I put my faith in the fact that she knows the hurt that lies behind that. And I am confident that mistakes are made and learned from, and that she has enough heart to not want to put me through that.
Like I have been before.
-are they curious if you are cheating on them?
Nope. She knows I adore her, and wouldn't do anything to compromise that.
defining "cheating" is
defining "cheating" is something you have to do with every partner... its different for everyone and if you don't have that conversation, you just don't know... obviously common sense is a factor, there are pretty clearcut ways of cheating, but out of respect for your partner you should just ask them what they think cheating is to define the grey areas...
what is cheating to you?
for me, lying, dishonesty and hiding things is the #1... but obviously kissing/sleeping with someone else is cheating
can you forgive and forget?
it depends how emotionally invested i am... i could not forgive someone who i have a very serious attachment to, but if things were less serious i wouldn't really care as much...
are you currently spying on your partner?
fuck no... if you are spying on your partner, you shouldn't be in that relationship.
are they curious if you are cheating on them?
no not at all... she knows i love her with everything in me, and that i am completely emotionally and physically devoted to her. she knows that other girls sleep in my bed occassionally and has never even questioned whether anything happened... i love that about her. i know she trusts me 100% and i would never take advantage of that.
Well
If it's going to hurt the person, it's cheating.
I can forgive too easily, but forgetting is impossible and I always make that known to the person.
And I have my worries and she has her worries about me, but I can only trust her and hope that the loyalty I give her will be the loyalty she gives to me.
NO TO CHEATING..
what is cheating to you?
- dishonesty... unfaithful, sexually or not..
can you forgive and forget?
- i can forgive.. forget? nah.. its like scar on my skin..
thou there's a saying "to forgive is to forget"
are you currently spying on your partner?
- oooppzz.. im still single.. ;) but if im not, nope.. i will not.. because i place trust.. love, trust, and respect goes together.. if one is out.. its the start of falling apart..
are they curious if you are cheating on them?
- again, if im in a relationship.. i don't think they will be.. i won't do things which might give them doubts about our relationship so there's no reason for them to be curious if im cheating or not.. besides cheating on my partner is one of the worst thing i could ever do.. say NO TO CHEATING.. :)
