Can an affair ever have a happy ending?

That's not !!!!!!.

Cybersex with anyone, is emotional cheating in my book. Up to the individual partners if they are OK with that or not.

A real tangible affair (with all the implications) is far far worse in my book, what do the regular (ladies) in the thread think?

Not that I've had the chance to engage in cybersex with any of my exes.

Cheating..emotionally.I'd be more likely to forgive the cyber side than actual physical cheating but it'd still be a HUGE issue.

Cybersex is squalid, what partner could be ok with that?

Okay how about advanced flirting with an ex where squalidity is not quite reached?

I'd say that's cheating. I also think the idea of of it is more than a little bit sad.

Advanced flirting! Who knew there were levels of flirting?

I think flirting depends on your view of it. I know people that couldn't care less about it, others that really dislike it. I've always viewed it as being disrespectful. I don't do it and I'd get in a relationship with someone that is one of those flirt with everyone types.

What about text flirting is that cheating? I would feel wretched if that happened in a relationship sure of that

Somehow worse with someone who's attached still. (Before I get shouted at, yes I am making a judgement, think that's what you asked for).

"Virtual" sex = not cheating, but still deserving of a wifely b0ll0cking.

Not great, much worse with someone you have actually been physically intimate with at some time.

I have read this entire thread....yeah, have to get a life sometime!!

I have a VERY strong relationship with a guy who live in the USA, and yes, we have sexted, but have never been intimate... When I say strong I mean it, we are in touch all day every day! I don't see anything wrong in it, but I'm separated!!

I also have a relationship with a local guy, who I see ever now and again, both guys know about each other.... it works well... I don't consider I'm cheating on either of them, as they both know when I'm talking to or meeting the other one!

Some people will find that weird I guess, but it works for me/us!
