Cheating Is it or isn't it?

Well, let's put it this way. Would you like it if she did that?

If you don't, then you know the answer.

I don't think it's cheating if you go out and look for self-esteem and ego boost with another person if your separated. Don't you think the other person is doing the same thing. Get real people. Why do you think there separated. They were lacking something.

There's a problem inside of you if you seek self-esteem and an ego boost through the act of sex or through dating and getting approval from another person. You need to build self-esteem from the inside out and never let the judgment of another person, good or bad, affect who you are and how you feel about yourself.

You can not get self-esteem from another person. It comes from within yourself.

If you are separated, then you might want to focus on where you want your marriage to go. It's really black and white. Are you in or out?

Now if you are really just asking if it's cheating to go out and get laid while you are separated.......................then the only answer that matters is the one your spouse would give.

Technically it is cheating since u are still married, but realistically you are separated. Gotta get it from somewhere right??But if you guys are really wanting to reconcile than I would think that sleeping with another would get in the way of that.Of course there are some ridiculous separations that have lasted more than a year.Who would wait that long?

It depends ..........if you are seperated, as in taking a break to sort things out ........then yes its cheating.

If you are seperated, but just waiting for the divorce to go through, then no its not cheating, because its clear that the marriage is over.

Cheating is if you are doing it behind someones back.

Not if the separation is giving you the space to work on things and you have hope of getting back together? Dating another person may only add more fire to the flame and cause deeper issues than you already have.

When I went through my separation, my attorney told me that it was legally allowable, but to be very cautious...so from that comment he told me, I kinda figured that it was not absolutely even smiled upon in the laws eyes. And a marriage is a marriage until the divorce is declared over!!! Hope this helps...take care.

This is from someone who did a lot of cheating. Anything you take from the relationship and apply to another is cheating, This includes talking about your feelings (relationship woes),sex,desire

If you're seperated that sort of opens up the door for it and I wouldn't say it's cheating.

there is nothing wrong with making casual friends if you are separated. but people who are in the throws of separation or divorce have nothing to give to another person on an emotional level.

believe me, they don't.

get your life together and get through this before you subject someone else to your problems....
