Lets be real, everyone has a different view of what cheating is. I took the time to ask a couple of my family and friends what cheating to them was. Some responses were different but some had similarities. My righthand T had the same response I always thought was true. She said cheating is doing anything that you wouldn't do in front of your partner. Personally, that’s always been my definition of cheating. That can include texting/giggling/flirting/etc with a person. BUT lets be real you can only “cheat” on somebody if y'all are together. This is especially important for my generation, because some people think if y'all talking kicking it and “exclusive” then the person can cheat on you, but I don’t find this to be true. Y'all just messing around no titles= no commitment. I hate when women tell stories about them dealing with a guy, and they cut of all their other options. THEN get mad when they find out that one boy is dealing with another girl. HOW?! can you possibly be mad if y'all aren’t together. That is a problem that I see wayyyy too much. We tend to be in a relationship with a single man or vise versa.
I even find myself in this predicament at times and have to catch myself, because I allow myself to be ok with just ‘talking” to a guy. If a man see’s that we as women are ok with doing all girlfriend duties without the actual title, they think that they never have to make it official because we are complacent with just being there. But, back to the point of cheating. Once you get serious with someone, make sure you discuss both of your views on cheating so that there aren't any miscommunications. Also, it helps the trust factor once y'all are both on the same page as far as whats acceptable and what isn’t.
