Where is your 'red line'?

Just pondering on a Monday evening. Having seen some threads around cheating and married people, I realised that I haven't really given much thought to where my 'red line' is.
Where is yours? At what point does it become cheating? Thinking about it, messaging someone, a social? Or is penis in 'tulip/horseshoe/puffy etc etc' where cheating starts for you? |

Take whatever most people say with a healthy pinch of salt, OP.
My lived experience of meeting people on this site in the past tells me what they say in public and what we did in private are very different things!

Fucking friends, family friends or friends of friends is my major no go
Fucking colleagues or people known to you through work is another
If you are known to me in any way, chances are I won't be interested
In terms of 'cheaters' I'm not really that arsed cos I'd never meet more than once anyway
Well, OK, twice if you were REALLY good
I certainly wouldn't request a phone call with their other half first |

I find emotional infidelity way more upsetting than physical infidelity
I'd be more pissed if I knew my OH had been meeting someone in and out of the bedroom as opposed to just in the bedroom
I can divorce sex from reality |

What is cheating though. Some say it’s doing something your partner doesn’t know about.
I’d go for lunch or out for a drink with friends (male), he wouldn’t know about that, but is it cheating as nothing other than friendship there.
We weren’t in each other’s pockets and had our own interests. |

If he asked you what you'd done that day would you tell him? |

I don't think it's always healthy to do that, even if nothing has happened
Especially if your OH has a tendency to overthink / worry |

Of course, it would be lunch or out with friends, if he asked who I’d tell him the truth.
Strangely the only two guys he had issues with were my best friend who is known since school days and lives in Germany and my ‘brother’ known for 20 years and gay … he was an odd soul

That's the difference then. You don't have to tell your partner everything but there's a big difference between not telling and deliberately concealing.

To lie, cover up, or keep something from your partner that would hurt them, regardless of whether intimate contact takes place with the third party or not. It’s the lie that’s the cheating part, not the infidelity.
The infidelity can be forgiven, but the lie cannot. |

Totally. I’d never lie and always be honest about who I’ve met, unfortunately that wasn’t reversed and for some reason he thought some story was better, not good ones either as easily caught out in his mistake… num nut  |

All interesting responses. As I say, I've never really thought about it but I am probably falling on the emotional side of it being where it starts to get dodgy got me.
Bumping uglies is way past that point |

"I think it’s as soon as you’re doing anything you wouldn’t do it front of your other half. Even texting is a betrayal if it’s secret. Often it’s the little things that are the most hurtful"
Just thinking it? Does that count too? |

If you won’t be seen in public with me, you don’t see me in private either.
Not an experiment with your sexuality.
If you’re a couple, that’s who I meet.
I’m not a fuck and go, takes two hours to look this trashy (Thanks Dolly)
I’m not changing my preferences.
Put your wallet away, got my own money.
The kinky stuff waits until I know you better.
These are some of mine  |

Exactly this. I have no problem who or how often my OH fucks, but I would be pissed if she started doing it behind my back and was emotionally involved with someone. |

I think most people will think about someone else during the course of a relationship, that’s normal. But if you’re constantly thinking about another then it’s a problem |

I can kinda get my head round this
My OH is 'threatened' (that's too strong a word, but it'll do for now) by those that have known me for decades as opposed to say a new meet
He sees them as being on another level than him, that the history and the familiarity & bond kind of excludes him
It's a kind of jealousy |
