FabSwingers.com forum: cheating - but not really cheating

reading an earlier post made me wonder.

If someone has a profile on here, and their wife/husband/partner is not aware of it (cheating if you want to call it that) , does the fact that its a swinging site rather than 'dating' site take away some of the guilt?.

Just wondering if any 'unaware' other half would say.....'oh you're swinging, thats different then, yes carry on' ???

I think many married/attached men would hope that is how it would turn out, but my ex wife would not have seen it like that

my _iew also.. even if the profile stated 'not meeting' flirting/having banter and not being honest with my partner would still be cheating in my eyes

I'm of the same opinion, but I know others will have their own limits on cheating. I know some will see an emotional affair as a bigger betrayal than a physical one, but I could never forgive and forget either...once my trust has gone that's game over for me

As a married man playing without permission (when the chance arises), I wouldn't even try to excuse it by saying that it is not a dating site. Given the reason that most people are on here is for sex I don't see any difference. Cheating is cheating.

Lies in any form are hurtful, and I for one would rip said partners balls off if I found something like that out........

However, I believe this only happens when theres something wrong/missing from the relationship, cos let's face it it, if everything was hunky dory people wouldn't feel the need to do things behind their partners back !!!!

The post earlier re cheating was interesting, as so many women said they were not put off by a guy who was on here behind is partners back. So I guesss thats what attracts the attached guys here.

It seems many people are not bothered by cheating, until it happens to them !!

I think I understand the initial point in so far as this is a sex / swing site where there is no emotional attachment at all. Yes, people need to be physically attracted to a meet but if it is just a physical act with no emotional ties then that may make a difference. I had an affair before and my ex said, if it was just for better sex, she would pay for me to see a prostitute rather than make an emotional attachment to someone else...

I don't care what a partner does with others. As long as they are honest with me about it.

So I think that it makes little difference. However I see having sex less bad than anything emotional.

As most of the profiles on here have likes and dislikes that include physical features, personality, etc etc then surely everyone is looking for someone they actually are attracted to, rather than picking keys out of an ashtray.

So I assume that 99% of people are looking to have sex with people they are attracted to and have something in common with.

Recipe for disaster I think.

Yep, but I do hope that 'looking at the reason' doesnt include blaming yourself.......thats a big no no. x

My girlfriend was unaware until very recently.

After much discussion, she's okay with me being on here on the basis that it's just for nsa sex and doesn't threaten or disrupt our relationship.

I'm sure she would see me being on a dating site completely differently and certainly wouldn't be okay with that.

The general intention of people on here is obviously to find no strings sex, on a dating site it's to find love. So being on a dating site whilst in a relationship is a completely different thing in my eyes.

If the kittens are in a sack and therefore totally unaware of their circumstances (being dangled over a brige) .....why are they screaming

I wonder how many married people would honestly answer the following question though: have you fallen for someone on Fab when all you were looking was uncomplicated NSA sex?

to me a lie, is a lie doesn't matter what its being told about so if a partner of mine were on here without my knowledge or a dating site it would still mean that they had deliberately hidden the truth from me and I would find it hard to get past.

I'm sure it happens, but I think it's much less likely on here where everyone joins in the knowledge that it's just about no strings sex.

I guess that being on a swing site does make a difference then, although your girlfriend obviously knows what the site is about etc, which helps. Im sure many 'other halfs' wouldnt be as understanding. I dont think they would see past the sex withsomeone else part.

Yes ........ If they are trying to meet people seperately without their partners knowledge, then they are lying, there's a problem.

If they have an understanding between them that they meet separately then, great, as long as everyoned happy go for it.

most people cant _iew sex as not having emotional connections.

they also see it as betrayal and as the cheater not having enough feeling towards them.

i dont think overall when a cheater is exposed whether it was just nsa or a relationship will make any difference to the person cheated on.

any lies and disete in a relationship is a very bad thing. Anything done which will cause upset to the other is bad.

Yes, I agree, but for those who don't swing may suggest that there is something wrong with your relationship if you do. Simply trying to point out that nothing in life is black and white.

ive asked before about POF, on there u can put urself as seeking long term, dating, intimate encounter, hang out or friends.. either as looking for a relationship or somethign casual or not commitment.

does that make it exlusively a dating site?

swinging is a shared interested that both consent to.. coudl you say there are problems in a relationship if 2 married people took up another shared hobby like golf?

If someone is honest and admits that they are married and that their wife is unaware of their deceit, if they are successful in attracting a meet, then surely it's between the perp and his fellow swingers. We all know the risks involved i.e you may end up with an angry wife/husband banging on your door. If you choose not to meet married men/women, smokers, bad spellers - whatever - just don't. But honesty is the key to informed choices.

It's still going behind there back regardless! Cheating! I'd be heartbroken if my other half done that to me! Strange how I love to watch another women with him! If he done it without my consent I would kill him

Agree, yet in the other thread about cheating there was a large proportion who said that it didnt bother them if someone was cheating, they would still have sex with them.

So I wondered if some people accepted it because it was on a swinging site.

I made a longish statement on the other thread essentially saying other people's values are none of my business and I dont judge people because we never know the whole story.

That said, and I have said this before - I personally would not knowingly meet and play with a guy who is in a relationship. Simply because I would not wish to be cited in proceedings or have an upset girlfriend ring me to ask what my number is doing on her partner's mobile.

I had a guy message me earlier asking if I wanted some fun and could I come over to his. I mentioned I don't have transport and I only do social meet to start, so he suggested he come to mine. I agreed to meet near my place, so I could see if we would click and also verify him. His response was, and I quote.. "great, i need to get a babysitter as his wife was out for the night?" WTF???

Wow, what a total knob head, inviting women to his home while his wife was at work and his children in bed!

Now that's just wrong on all levels !!!

I don't know as I am single however, I met at a social, a couple I have known for a long time but not friends, more acquaintances. Since then I have found that not only is he cheating on his wife via the couple's profile but he also has a 'single male's' profile. Had we been close friends, this would have put me in an awful position as I would have felt compelled to say something. He wants to meet me but I just cannot.

And no I don't think it takes away the guilt and I still wouldn't knowingly meet a cheater. If I was a couple, I would be absolutely gutted if I found out that they were cheating on me. To me being a couple whether married or living together as a couple involves trust and communication, that all goes out the window when one half cheats on the other

I'm on here without my husband's knowledge. He has said he's ok if I want to find a physical relationship elsewhere but told me he didn't want to know I was doing it.

So, is this cheating? At first it felt like it was and I cancelled my first few meets because it felt wrong. Eventually I decided to go ahead and now I feel happy with my decision

Its only cheating if your partner has no idea your doing it.

If your swinging as a single with your partners consent, then your not cheating.

Different in the fact that you are only on the site without his knowledge, you are not having a physical relationship without his knowledge. He is happy for you to get satisfaction elsewhere, and if he found out you had spent time with someone he would not be angry as you have agreed beforehand.

I dont see that as cheating, although I do see how it was difficult for you at first x
