Is thinking about the possiblity of cheating, cheating?

[expect]

sometimes i think i want to kill my friend because she's so stupid.
so yes thinking about killing her is the same as killing her.

sometimes im driving and ppl walk so slow i wana hit them with my car
so yes, thinking about it is the same as running someone over.

sometimes i **** in an old gatorade bottle and i think about pranking my friend into drinking it
so yes, thinking about it is the same as my friend ingesting my urine.


inferior logic here folks.

There are a lot of people online who just want to have an online affair/relationship.

I think they should hook up with each other and leave the people who want a real relationship alone.

Why the heck is he doing this for? For fun, to 'test' himself? Not sure if I believe his story. It's obviously a lot more than just 'thinking about it.'

He says he would never meet up with any of them because he loves his girl, etc etc. Where's the line?

He's already gone too far. Probably testing her to see how she'll react. Very likely he's already cheated.

I wouldn't consider it cheating, but it's only the first step in that direction.

Obviously something is up if he chooses to do that vs. something more productive, like going on a walk...

I don't think it is cheating, either. But I bet the overwhelming majority on here will.

However, I don't think it is a step in any direction other than it simply being what it is. I find it interesting that so many people put so little stock in a human being's ability to look but not take it any farther. Is such behavior ethical? Depends on the individual. If this is considered cheating or a step in that direction, then how much trust do you actually have in your SO?

People do strange things for benign reasons. Perhaps the guy is just getting his rocks off in an odd way?

If he is so bored in his relationship that he has to get on craigslist and talk to other women, then he needs to remove himself from the relationship. This is not acceptable behavior while you're in an exclusive relationship.
