Re: Is sexting cheating? - March 8th 2011, 11:18 PM

yes i've decided i'm going to fix things with him, despite my very bad and irresponsible/unfaithless actions i am still in love with him and want to be there for him. i can't just leave him, he doesnt deserve it i want to be a better girlfriend, no more cheating


The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.
How much you can take, and keep moving forward.
PM me if you need to talk about ANYTHING.

Dude.....I can't stop you. But I've been in a relationship for over a year and haven't said I love her. People have different definitions of love, so I won't tell you your wrong. I think you are valuing him far too much due to your own insecurities.

But the ETHICAL thing is to ditch him, and work on your problems in a situation where you can't hurt anyone. So dump him, get out of this unhealthy relationship/mindset. You'll thank me later.

Re: Is sexting cheating? - March 9th 2011, 12:26 AM

the only insecurities i have are that i pissed him off which i know now i didn't, and that im a bad person for cheating in the first place (which i am)
but apparently he's got alot to deal with right now and i don't want to walk out on him now when he needs me (even if he's not ready to talk about it just yet) too many people have done that too me and it wouldn't be fair, i think he's starting to get the point he stopped doing the things i told him were bugging me and after a couple weeks of them continuing i think i can give him a little credit for trying

Yes, and you should work on them outside of a relationship. It would be unwise to downplay them.

Loyalty is based around how needy you and how happy you are with your current boyfriend. Most people who cheat either have no respect/attraction towards their partner, or feel like such garbage they jump on anyone who gives them attention. Both of these things can be improved while single.

It doesn't seem like you're willing to accept any advice that we're giving you. You seem to keep making excuses why you're right, and that's the end of that. Multiple people have given you very good advice, and I think it would do you well to follow some of it.




I've found the one who completes me.
This love is like nothing I've ever felt before. <3

i dont really feel like im getting advice though, i did it because i felt our relationship already dying out, i sensed it coming to an end so i started talking to other people, i didnt intend to make the decision i did when i started talking to other people, the person i was talking to had alot more respect for me, i didn't cheat because im uncomfortable with myself or because the other reason stated, i just feel like people are trying to tell me why i did it, and im only being given one option here, but i'd like to at LEAST try to make it work but the majority of what im seeing is to leave him and sort myself out, i posted what i posted last, in hope that someone could give me advice as to how i can fix our relationship/be a better girlfriend without leaving him



so i've gone back and re read some posts, perhaps i missed a few or they didnt compute when i read them, sorry and thanks

You've said that you don't think things can be fixed though. And I've stated my opinion that it seems like a wasted effort, to me. I'm sorry if we're not giving you the advice that you want, but I think that's because you're set in your decision, so any advice given that doesn't go along with what you want to do is rendered irrelevant.

@ kyle i could keep arguing with you, i don't need to be told WHY i did it. i know why i did it. and i didn't feel like garbage i felt like i deserve more respect and found someone who would respect me.
take that as you want you're more than likely about to tell me it's the same thing but it's not.

Meh. Still no excuse. You need to tell your boyfriend, and discuss the issues you're having and see if he's willing to forgive you.


I thought about you for the rest of the day.
Catching my head turning to find you again.
I hated myself for it.

Good luck, I hope I wasn't too condescending. Seriously Two years ago I clung to a girlfriend after she cheated on me because I thought it would work. We learn through our mistakes, just don't do it again.

It's disrespectful and inconsiderate towards your partner and would anger them if they saw it, so yes, I would consider it cheating. I draw the line at any sexual innuendos towards any other person. I don't flirt or even check anyone out.

I wouldn't consider it 'cheating' as such but if my bf began sexting I would definately not be happy. If you feel the need to 'sext' someone other than your partner then I feel theres deffo something wrong in your relationship.

As someone who has been betrayed by a partner who "sexted", yes I do consider it cheating. It was so hurtful.

I'm not going to try to tell you WHY you did it, because I don't know. And I still can't understand why my partner did it. He's told me it meant nothing but I still can't quite seem to wrap my brain around it.

IF you love your boyfriend like you say you do, you may be able to fix it if it's worth it. It's going to be hard though and the first step you need to take it to tell him about it. Honestly, my situation could have been far less of a shock had I found out from his mouth instead.

If your'e not willing to put in the work to fix your relationship, then it's time to do yourself both a favor and break it off and move on.

hey there,
well i wouldn't consider it loyalty lol but i think it also depends. I know it's no physical contact, or as bad a sleeping with someone else but it isn't exactly a good or even innocent thing. I can't tell you anything because i also don't know the depth of your relationship. It could be an open relationship or it could be serious....
