Ladies of SW , if your man likes texting other women...is that cheating 🤔 💕

That depends on what he texts her. However, a man may have female friends also after he marries and he may text his friends , also female friends, as long as it is innocent. A marriage has to be built on trust.

My ex was very secretive, he had a few he was texting over the years of our marriage, met up with woman behind my back. ego thing I think?

I just couldn’t trust him anymore,
He was a compulsive liar 🤥

Hence now he’s an Ex lol

hmmm...well they might be having an emotional affair or something. it depends what they are talking about.

I don't look at it as cheating. As far as I'm concerned, it's just chatting. My best friend is male. We just chat about our days, and our kids & grandkids. The things I chat with a female friend about. As I've always said, human is human is human.

No i dont think its cheating but a guy and girl cant just be friens, the guy is going to have thoughts of relationship at some point
Im male

Erm in general men dont do women as "just friends" Apart from my gay pals, every male friend i had in past tried it on at one point.

While trust is an issue in any relationship, yet because of society most everyone assumes that fidelity to one person is a trust issue.

Fidelity absolutely not a trust issue. It's a social values issue. And why some polyamorous relationships work.

Yes polyamorous have serious trust issues. More than many wish to think about. Yet its not the type of fidelity issues of monogamous relationships.

So cheating really is dependent on the type of relationship. There actually are more forms of fidelity issues than just monogamous fidelity issues.

It's weird if he is texting her all the time. That doesn't make sense to me and doesn't speak of a normal friendship to me.

If he texts her more than me or if he has a problem with me seeing the text, he can go away.

Old friends, no, not cheating and they are most likely in the friend zone.

Yeh that’s fine. Friends are friends. Does he expect you to not speak to another man ever? Does he stop you from talking to guy friends you had prior to meeting him?… He better not. And you should treat him the same. Trust him. Be equal.

If they were already goid friends and I knew its purely platonic, no problem. If shes a new friend that he texts often , seems to LIKE, I would be a bit concerned.

Trust is trust. You know the rules if you break them. Friend are friends. Nothing more.

It would depend on what he was texting. Otherwise no. I am low on the jealousy scale.

Are they sending kissy emojis? 😡

That "friend" is never just a friend.

Yes

As long as they're both okay with being friends and never anything more, then there's no problem

Every couple is going to have their own comfort level with this. Last gf was NOT ok with any women friends, whereas my current gf doesn't care much, plus she has guy friends.

I have to have a high level of trust as my man is overseas

I’ve even been fine with him going camping with another woman (same tent)

If he was sitting beside me texting another woman all the time at some stage I’m going to assume he should probably be with her
