Is Sexting cheating on your partner. In polls men are less apt to think this is a form of cheating. Women on the other hand, like over 80% think it is cheating on a partner. Your take?

My Rule of Thumb:
When one puts themselves in a position or situation that 'could' lead to infidelity, they are in fact cheating. Even if it's strictly cerebral.
I would say sexting is not only cheating on your spouse it is pathetic, immature behavior that is even worse than traditional cheating.

Yes, and unless you're in an open relationship, it's a pretty crappy thing to do to someone. Sexting is not anonymous, there is a real third person involved.
Deceit and betrayal destroys trust.
No trust = no relationship anyway so if you have that little respect for your partner to begin with then do them a favour and end it. They deserve better.
I'm not sure "sexing" is a specific enough term say without more information. It could encompass anything from jokey flirting to as close to actual sex you can get without being in the same room (which, with a decent imagination, is pretty close).Is Sexting cheating on your partner.

Is casting your baited hook into the water fishing, or must you be caught actually reeling in the catch?

Establishing it is cheating on ones partner......and if being with someone for a long time. Would it be enough to end that relationship with you.
Yes or no. Time.....anything over 3 years and or if Married. Would it end the Marriage and or your relationship with your significant other? Would you walk away with whatever you have with your significant other? Over sexting.
It would depend, to be honest. As serenity stated earlier, you lose trust with a person? That is very hard to overcome. I'd have a serious issue with it.
I don't think that would be the only thing wrong in a relationship, there would be other underlying unaddressed issues that led to sexting.
Either you're with the person or you aren't. **** it get off the pot. If you care about someone, say you love that person, you wouldn't be going down that road to begin with.
Mornin" TGND.....I agree with you. I too would think there would be other unaddressed or even maybe has been addressed issues.
Going behind ones partners back for anything is cheating. But what about those that do know.....yet say nothing. Due to the kids and or finances. The longer the time together such as a decade or more would certainly come into play.

I've seen it happen. Successful marriage of over 15 years, and they'd just paid off the mortgage in half the time. But they were gamers, and the husband began to chat with a 20-year old married girl who poured out her troubles to him. That led to sexting and also eventually a cross-country flight on the wife's birthday to give her personal counseling.
Ya, old story/new details. In short order, the husband told the wife he still loved her but was no longer "in love." Divorced within months because hubs thought it would be really swell to have both women in his life. He married the by-then 21-year old, and surprise, they were divorced within two years (after he'd paid for her to complete her degree). Old story. Very, very happy ending for my friend.
