Women Need Three Relationships, Built on Honesty. Zero Lies. No Cheating.

Others believe that an act need not be physically harmful to be deemed unfaithful.

It all depends on your point of view. And when a couple isn't on the same page as one another when it comes to infidelity, it could be disastrous and hurtful to the union. Every time there is a physical component, it is considered cheating by some. It could be physical intimacy, which includes touching, kissing, and even sex. Others believe that an act need not be physically harmful to be deemed unfaithful.

Most people find the idea of being in a devoted and enduring relationship to be appealing. That someone would want to be in a romantic relationship with someone who is unfaithful to them somewhere in the world would seem strange. Even though many people oppose infidelity in relationships, there are times when the meaning of being unfaithful and cheating is lost in translation. Sometimes, what some people consider to be cheating may not be considered to be cheating by others.

In reality, emotional cheating can be just as harmful for many people as physical cheating. In fact, it might be worse. When someone engages in emotional intimacy with a third person, it is emotional infidelity. This emotional closeness may show itself through flirty approaches, passionate dialogues, and other behaviours.

Many people appear to believe that there is a lot of room for interpretation when it comes to infidelity and adultery. But that's not how I see things. It's fairly easy for me. It's not at all difficult. For me, the line is obvious to everyone. Either you are or are not on the faithfulness side. In my humble opinion, being dishonest entails engaging in behaviour with a different individual that you would never engage in if your partner were present.

You are acting dishonestly if you are engaging in a way that you wouldn't have in the company of your spouse. Of course, depending on what you're doing and who you're doing it with, this can change to a certain extent. But the truth still stands. It's probably cheating if you feel awkward doing a phenomenon in front of your lover but still do it behind their back.

Cheating can manifest itself as you spending far too much time looking into someone else's eyes. You might just be texting someone in a provocative manner. You could be giving someone a cheek kiss while your partner is unaware of it.

The act of intentionally acting in a way you would never do in front of your partner is what is considered cheating. You can tell that this act is harmful since you are being dishonest in it.

You should only ever act with other people in the same manner as you would when your partner is there. Otherwise, it would be blatantly dishonest if you did all of these things behind your partner's back while hiding who you really are when they are around. That, in my opinion, is what infidelity looks like. That, in my opinion, is a flagrant betrayal of the trust developed during a romantic relationship. And once broken, that kind of trust is challenging to repair.

One thing you should know concerning me is that any connection I have will always need to be based on honesty and trust. Neither would be possible without the other. And without a doubt, there is no love if there is no honesty or trust at all. When you give in to one, you give in to everything. Even so, the issue goes beyond cheating. It's not just a question of whether you fall in love with another person or not.

When you are with me, it's important that you always be true to who you are. When we're together, I want you to be who you really are. And even when I'm not around, I would like you to maintain your integrity. I consider it dishonest if you act one way while you are with me and a different one when you are not. I think that's lying. I consider that to be manipulation, and I don't want to take part. I don't want to let others make me look foolish.

You can't just make sure to keep it in your pants to be faithful in a relationship. It involves more than just being careful not to flirt with anyone else. Being faithful entails remaining genuine to oneself. It implies that you make a conscious decision to cherish our time spent together and to love me. Being faithful entails always making an effort to get to know me better and make sure that nothing will ever stand in our way.
