A great question!
But answer is simple: It depends on what the people in the RL couple(s) think. If you have to hide it from your wife/husband/significant other/whatever, you know it is cheating. If not, it's cool. |

My spouse says yes, it is cheating
I disagree and think its flirting at worse. _____________________

As was stated earlier. I've heard the best way to determine whether something is cheating or not is whether it is something you would tell your other half about. If it's not then it's likely cheating.
I'm probably going to get attacked over this one, but.....if you are choosing to spend time and even have virtual sex with someone on SL rather than spend that same type of time with your significant other, you probably need to seriously look at your relationship. I'm on SL to be creative and spend time chatting with friends. I keep life simple by having my RL partner as my SL partner. If we feel like getting it on we simply log off. I couldn't imagine wanting it any other way. |

I agree. _____________________

"It's a perversion if you're more in your fantasy life than your real one." First time I've ever been considered a pervert, but from this definition, I definitely am one.  |

Rather than using the "if you wouldn't tell them, it's cheating" test, why not just ask "Hey, hun, would you be upset if I did so and so online?". Not everyone tells everything to their spouses (I'm fairly sure most guys don't go telling their spouses "I said that actress was hot", and that doesn't count as cheating).

I don't know why not, but I sure would hope so if they were asked. If not then there's some real security issues there. To think that a person wouldn't ever be attracted to someone else is really sad. |

I hope so, since I'm planning on opening a detective agency to spy on cheating spouses.
Apparently there is a market for it. _____________________

Aww crap, not this again... There's new people coming into the forums every day. I think it's unrealistic to expect someone to go back and research old topics every time. I think if everyone did then there would rarely, if ever, be new posts at this point. I'm grateful for ANY posting that doesn't have something to do with gambling. |

If it's not then it's likely cheating. . I just ate some of my fiances expensive chocolate. When she asks where it went I shall say "I haven't seen it I'm afraid. Are you sure you didn't eat it yourself and forget?" It's worked before. _____________________

Stealing chocolate isnt cheating - but its a darn close runner up. Im calling her soon as I get off these forums You are soooo Busted ! |

Yup, to me it's cheating. If someone I was with was gonna cheat, knowing they'd been sleeping around but had no feelings for her would be bad, but knowing they'd not slept with her but had deep feelings so much worse. If a partner of mine was in an online 'relationship' I think we'd seriously have to look at our r/l one. How anyone can spend hours online in an online relationship while not doing anything with their real life partners is beyond me, if real life is bad, try to fix it or get out! Don't go looking for someone else. Having said that In know many many people *do* have an online thing & someone else in real. Just my opinion!
