Fidelity vs. infidelity

[yellosteel]

I want you guys to know that it takes two to tango. If you are not giving your best and at the same time you're difficult to get along with,then I begin to wonder what you expect from that relationship. The fact that Yasser was even hiding his involvement shows that he care still.

Of course, but cheating is still wrong. isn't cheating. He hid his involvement because he knew he was in the wrong. I don't think he cared about his wife at that point.

Am not saying its not,but the fact still remains that for a marriage to be successful is a collective responsibility of the partners.

I agree with that.

I agree, its still cheating. But talking usually ends up with more emotions than something physical, and I think an emotional affair would be more painful than a physical affair.

Indeed, an emotional affair would be more painful.

infidelity always begins in the mind, and the fact that he retreated at the last minute doesn't absorb him of infidelity.

I think its a matter of emotional stress, you find relief from someone else rather than your partner

I agree! And he only retreated when he saw his lover was homeless.

It still doesn't justify it, in my view.

I totally agree it was cheating. As long as you've thought about it then you are in your way to cheating.

A good point!

I agree with gali on this one. If you "have to" find "relief from someone else rather than your partner", then you shouldn't be with that partner. At that point, you are not partners anymore because not only is the first person cheating, but he/she is also lying everyday. Then the next question is - what kind of relationship is based on a lie?

Cheating isn't necessarily physical to me. Mental attachment counts as infidelity too.
