Well a good friend of mine has been seeing a girl lately who still has a bf, but they are on a "break" because the girl doesn't like him anymore. Anyways for some reason she hasn't officially broken up with him yet, i think because the dudes really clingy and yeah has suspicions about my friend and her. I told him to wait it out before he moves in but he maintains that they are just "hanging out" together, nothing more. lols but i know that its more than that as they've been going out together a lot. Anyways my question is, would you consider this cheating? keeping in mind that my friend and the girl aren't an official couple yet and the fact that this girl and her boyfriend are about to break up.
I wouldn't say it's cheating, even if the girl and the "bf" is NOT about to break up. It's definitely a sign that the "bf" should catch and do something about before the actual CHEATING is to occur. Another thing -- if the bf knew about the fallacy of the relationship and didn't do anything about it, it's partially his fault he got cheated on, but just just to make things fair, it is also the girl's fault if she doesn't do anything about it. I mean, if the girl doesn't like the bf anymore and both of them know it, why not just make things easier by simply telling your friend to tell the "girl" to break up with the "bf" so everything flows freely instead of having everything tangled in a knot? To put it simply in my opinion, the cheating will not occur until the girl makes out with and/or bangs your friend without having officially broken up with the bf, period. There's no exceptions to this "rule."
hanging out is not cheating, if the guy likes the girl than it just makes it hard because people get attached and that can lead to it but yea, i agree, once lips have touched, or lots of physical touching than you hitting cheating so now it's a test of self control and morality
its not really what you call cheating, everyone have the right to make new friends. consider yourself and your best friend, when u or him is not happy. you guys always share your feeling and secret so shes only do as what female should do. try to find the right person to share her feeling but if your friend not going to do anything about it then later down the track he'll not have the chance to get back to her. so if he really do still love her then ask your friend to think carefully of how they can get back together.
it depends on how you see it really, but personally if she wants to start seeing someone new occasionally she should break it off with her ex-boyfriend completely. If she no longer feels for him, then she should break it off with him or yeah he's just going to continue to be clingy lmao. But yeah, I would have to say your friend's situation constitutes as cheating.
