If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

I can't believe that this is supposed to be a real question. Yes, it's cheating if you both agreed to a monogamous relationship. If you are looking for an open relationship, and she is not, then do her a favour and break up with her.

Call it whatever you want, if it makes you feel better.

Is it okay if she does the same things?

Just out of curiosity ... what's the mileage marker between 'cheating' and 'extra'? You know, where if she's on this side of the line it's cheating but if she's on the far side she can have all she wants 'on the side' and you can't complain that she's cheating?

Or... wait... you meant you, not her, right?

If you shoplift in NYC, and fly to back to LA, are you still guilty of shoplifting?

If he made it back to LA, he got away with it and likely won't be caught before the statue of limitations expires.

It's interesting how folks try to excuse/justify their actions so they can feel less guilty about doing what they already knew is wrong.

Look Im sorry that happened man, but that situation is a bit different. Your woman lived with you and literally did it on tiny business trips, it's not the same as a long distance relationship. She sounds really careless tbh, if I live with someone Im not going to cheat on them
