Is kissing someone else passionately while being married Cheating?

[spiritalk]

The cheat is not the kiss.  The cheat is the mindset that allowed the individual to stray.  When we cheat in our heart it is only manifest as we wish it to happen.

I would say yes.  If it was a drunken kiss..... lol that may be seen differently.  But a kiss knowingly and passionate I would say yes.  It would bother me if it were my boyfriend passionately kissing another girl :(

No.

It's betrayal and a declaration of war.

And not just if married, but when in any monogamous relationship.

yes.

Do not do what you don't want others to do upon you.

Well, to me, i would say it is cheating..and im married..and not happy..and contemplating the idea of a passionate kiss with someone. :( you no obsessing over someone else.. totally encompassing my MIND.. never been physical with the person ever,, however i believe there would be a line crossed if you kissed someone passionately, drunk or not. and i believe that a line is crossed if you obsess and have your thoughts on someone else, all the time. And from my own point of view.. id have to say whoever did the kissing might be contemplating leaving the marraige anyways or why would they have done that in the first place? least thats my opinion and u no how opinions are ~

Hmm... since the thread owner mentioned about alcohol

Is it possible to kiss someone if this kind of thought doesn't exist before you have any drink?
Does the sexual thought have to be in one's mind before the drugs?

Alcohol and drugs serve to remove inhibitions - they do not create the actions.
