There is no problem in flirting with someone through the Internet. Nowadays it is much easier to meet interesting people thanks to various social networks, chat rooms and specialized dating websites… The problem is when a person is busy and thinks that there is no problem in holding spicy conversations and sometimes even having virtual sex via a web-cam, because he thinks that since there is no physical contact it is not classifiable as cheating.
If you are in a steady romantic relationship in the “real world,” put in mind that any online flirtation can be classified as a willingness to have an affair. What’s worse if your partner is jealous and is the type who checks your smartphone, logs into your messenger account just to see your contacts and sifts through all your social profiles.
Many believe that betrayal only exists when it is consummated physically (whether through kissing or sexual intercourse). For others, simply having a spicy, more intimate conversation already implies cheating.
I just think that courting someone through the internet, on social networks or sites dedicated to dating for sex, having spicy conversations or exchanging hot images already implies betrayal. If you felt the desire to do this, it’s probably because there is something not working in your relationship: there is something that does not satisfy you. So it’s worth stopping and thinking and trying to figure out what is driving you to act that way.
Although there is no physical contact, desire and affection can arise between you and your virtual contact. Virtual flirting can turn into virtual sex, and if your partner finds out, this could mean the end of your relationship.
The problem is not “cheating and not getting caught by your partner,” but not getting to that point! Before you go down the path of cheating, re-examine your relationship, and talk to your partner about your unhappiness. The problem may be so small that a few minutes of dialogue will solve it.
If you love the one who lives by your side, don’t look at these virtual flirtations as just an innocent game. They indicate that there is something not working in the relationship. Do not wait for this to happen perert realize that there is a problem.
Cheating (and omitting) is more than just wanting to push the relationship dirt under the rug. It’s about deceiving those who have always trusted you and decided to share their lives with you. Think about how many times you need to before you end the relationship, and think even more before you cheat.
