Is this considered "cheating"? **Best Answer= All Points**?

My friend is in a committed relationship with her boyfriend. But today she snuggled and took a nap with (not slept with as in sex or anything) a close male friend of hers who has feelings for her. She doesn't have feelings for her friend, but she did have to borrow his clothes today because he tossed her into a pool. After she dried off and changed, they cuddled a little and took a nap. Now she is freaking out because she is afraid she cheated on him. Is this considered "cheating"?

Thank you,

Kassie <3

    I wouldn't call it cheating exactly, but I would advise she thinks again about whether she has any feelings for this friend. You don't just cuddle with someone for no reason. Either way, she should tell her bf what happened, because he deserves to know about any lapses. Honesty is key to a healthy, guilt-free relationship.

    She should also talk to this friend she cuddled with. If he has feelings for her, and she cuddled with him, he probably took it as a sign she likes him too. As a friend, she owes him an explanation either way.

    Best of luck to her :)

    No, If she can be honest with her bf about her nap schedule there's no exchasnge of intimacy while she's sleeping is there?

    Cheating in qualified by an intentional act that involves anoth

    sleeping is a nessessity particularly in her case

    on the other hand if she keeps her naps a sercret bc she's ashamed of what she's done then thats cheating

    to me cheating is much more involved than kissing or sex it is having feelings or even imagining another person because if you really love the one you're with you wouldnt need to think of others kissing, touching, sex, or cyber sex is just the worst form of cheating but anything that is closely related is also classified as a cheat she knew he had feelings for her thats the bottom line and she still did it so yes it is and she is actually taking advantage of her friend and giving him hope which she shouldnt do if she feels nothing for him

    Yup. It's definitely cheating. Cuddling/sleeping with someone is very intimate. And is worse because he has feelings for her.

    Honestly I consider this a worse form of cheating then something like getting drunk & hooking up with someone because that is impulsive. She obviously thought about what she was doing.

    kinda depends on the level of seriousness in the relationship. but if her relationship is serious i'd say thats a no no. It can be wrong without being "cheating"
