Just curious what some of you think following some interesting comments made in a recent blog entry.

Let's exclude situations where couples have agreed to swing, and keep any discussion within the Terms of Use.

Happy gaming,

Boz

You are in an intimate relationship for a reason. Having one with someone else alongside, no matter how "far" it gets is a betrayal of trust. Something that can and most likely will completely ruin both relationships.

I'd be okay with my partner cheating on me with Johnny Depp or some equally hot male movie star. Frankly I'd be a little dissapointed in her if she didn't.

I would never cheat on a partner due to the personal standards I've set for myself......nothing to do with morality.

I don't think it's ever OK to cheat on a partner. If she cheats on you or if you haven't had sex in a long time, then I think talking to her would be the best way to solve the problem.

It's never okay to cheat. If things do reach that point, the first step would be to address your partner directly and confront whatever problem you (or both of you) are having. If it's too late for that, I would simply leave them.

The only time its allright is if your partner says you can do it, but that will never happen and since you had their permission probably wouldn't count as cheating.

It's never ok, and i'm not an idealist, at least in this regard. Intimate Relationships should have a level of trust that's above the expectations of a normal friendship relationship. Cheating desrtroys that trust, and very few can regain the trust. Cheating is never ok

Never. If she cheats on me then we're not in a relationship anymore, if she's withholding sex from me and it gets to the point where I can't stand it anymore, I'll just do the unthinkable and break up with her before seeking a new partner, and you don't get a free 'sleep with a celebrity' card in a serious relationship.

:lol: Oh Boz, you little devil, you !

On topic, I think if your partner is open-minded (i.e doesn't mind if you 'make out' with another person) it's OK if you do that, but if your partner is just not that open-minded, probably you shouldn't.

Its NEVER okay to cheat. My policy after my last relationship...you cheat, your done.

And I hate these "oh it was an accident" excuses. When your seeking something "physical" you know EXACTLY what your doing. So if someone's gonna be THAT DISRESPECTFUL, then lets just split and thats it.

Well, if your partner knew you were going to do it before-hand and didn't mind, it's hardly cheating, is it. But I don't think I'll be looking for that kind of a relationship.

How does your partner cheating on you justify you cheat on them? If they cheat, break up with them.

I'm with you on this. I find it facinating on shows like Jeremy Kyle and Trisha (I don't watch them purposely it's just what's on after Wright Stuff) when people begin to justify the reasons for them cheating.

Yes, but he said a relationship with someone else. And I said it's not always cheating...Of course, I'm sure he meant cheating. But I just wanted to look cool :cry:.

The excluded situation you mention is the only one where I would say it is OK. That doesn't necessarily mean a relationship ender, but certainly not "OK".

You're not the only one amazed at the results. Statistically, a whole slew of the people that have voted "Never okay," will cheat themselves, one day. Either that, or the Gamespot user base is filled with some serious fidelity. :)

Because if your love for the person is so weak that it melts every time you see a beautiful stranger. You should end it before pursuing something new.

It's never ok to cheat. If your partnet cheats on you, either forgive them, talk it out, or leave them. This doesn't mean I'm an idealist, it just means I have standards.
