Do you consider "sexting" cheating?

When ur in a relationship, and you send explicit text messages to someone else, would you consider that a form of cheating? I've been with my husband for about 4 years now and when I was toward the end of my pregnancy with our 3rd child,a couple months ago,he was talking to another woman that he met at work. He said very nasty things to her,she sent him naked pics of herself,etc. They never had sex or anything but this hurt me so much that I do consider it cheating. What are some of your opinions on this situation?

(I know this should probably be in the marriage section, but I get more answers when I post my questions in here)

    yes it's cheating. sexting and naked pictures? At the least it's called 'attempting to cheat' which is also in itself is cheating.

    You put your foot down and tell him that **** ends now because maybe you being his wife, you're the number one woman in his life besides his mother--that's why he asked you to marry him. And you're saying this other chick has got to go, there shouldn't even be a discussion.

    Don't ask, tell.

    I dont consider porn or getting lap dances cheating, its more of a boys night out have a little fun sort of thing. On the other hand, i do consider making out cheating because you dont just make out for fun; it is only fun if you have an emotional connection with someone. That would make it cheating

    Ugh. this makes me ill just reading it. Hon, you need to write in big letters somewhere in the house where EVERYONE can see it "TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED"...if he seriously never learned that simple *** Golden Rule, he is a downright idiot. And yes, to ME at least, DEFFINITELY cheating. Sex is just an action to add more pain to what he'd be doing wrong...it's like if someone bullied you you're whole life but never actually killed you. Its painfull for you the WHOLE way through, and all they used to bully you could have been words or pictures....its bullying. its cheating. It's wrong.

    Yes, sort of, although he's never done anything it's still being unfaithful chatting up this girl and provoking her to send pics. I know I'd be pissed. He should be being loyal to you, he shouldn't be texting the girl at all unless it's just friendly or works stuff, flirting a little bit is alright you can live with that, but naked pics wth?

    Have a word with him!

    He might be having a midlife crisis or something, but it's no excuse :(

    Is he still texting her now?!

    One good point tho is that he told you (I hope).

    Good Luck x

    Yes..this would be considered emotional cheating cuz hes thinkin of being or doing somethin wit another woman that is not u. I would definitely confront him bout this before he really decides to do somethin wit her.

    Yes that is cheating. Wheter they had sex or not he's still spending his time with another woman who isn't you. You should check his phone more often.

    that is definitely cheating in my opinion.

    he's acting as if he would like to see and be with another woman that he knows already.

    you should talk to him about it. watch his reaction if you haven't already told him you know.

    No it's not cheating but what he did is just as bad is cheating. You need to have a serious talk with him, because he is showing signs of being unfaithful towards you.

    Yes i would be VERY cautious with this behavior... I would start to question his faithfulness with you if he was acting like that.. Im sorry..
