Betrayal rather than cheating (it's nuanced).

It's completely unfair to the other person in the relationship, believing in something that doesn't belong to them, they hear the words "I love you" but they are just a lie. It's cruel.
(No, it's never happened to me, I'm just against it, if you don't love that person don't make them believe you do.)

maybe not cheating per se, but you are definitely cheating yourself and your s/o out of a better love life.. if you are in love with someone else, you need to come clear and tell them about it, so maybe you can both fix the problem, or so you both can move on.

Well, you'd be mentally cheating so to speak. And it is dishonest to lead someone on who you don't love.

not exactly cheating but there's not commitment; it sounds like a really crappy place to be 8P

Would you feel hurt if your significant other proclaimed love for another,conducted an emotional affair, deprived you of intimacy,affection,love,by transferring those feelings outside your relationship,its called cheating for a reason,you knew the answer before you asked the question.As for those who answered no,you dont go to a liar for the truth.

It's not cheating because you are not actually betraying your partner by having sex
with another person. If I'm in a relationship and I love someone else emotionally it's
called being in a pickle. Why it isn't technically cheating is because if I weigh the
situation there would have to be something drastically wrong with my relationship for
me to fall for another man to begin with. Either my heart is into my relationship or it isn't.
I have been faced with this situation and it's an awkward position to be in to say the least.
I voted no because it has happened to me and I feel none the guilty for it.

Hi my friend starguide, I'm so glad you agree and yes, that would be nice to chat
in PM sometime. Unfortunately I am too busy catching up with mail and messages tonight to chat freely but another night would be fine. Message me and I will do my best to chat awhile. Just to let you know I posted our favorite internet love song ...
" I knew I loved you " in my profile under my favorite music. I just adore that song !
Talk soon. Have a brilliant and safe July 4th ! :))

Depends on what you mean by love someone else. If it's just the thought then technically it's not cheating but if the interaction is physical love with the person such as cuddling, kissing, hugging, etc. then yes it's cheating.

I don't see why you are in the relationship with the other person if you love someone else. It isn't cheating if you don't act on the emotion but it isn't being fair to the person you are with.

It is... and being in that kind of situation is not worth it. it's is best to be with whom your heart tell you to, rather than being in an uncomfortable relationship with someone who you don't feel butterflies for. I could never be with someone I don't think I have big feelings for, I'd rather go single again.

It is really unfair to the person your dating. It is a cheating heart. Your heart belongs to another and your being dishonest by not setting the person free your dating to find someone they might find love with.

It's cheating emotionally. Why would you been in a relationship with someone if you love someone else? If your answer is that you love both people, I don't believe you can love two people in the same way at the same time. Your heart will always burn greater for the one you have that deep connection with.

Its more that you have cheated the person whom you are in a relationship of your true authentic love identifying your ownself and character as needy wherein one love cannot do for you so need multiple fillers to keep you satisfied.
Would call it Monkey Business wherein you are never happy and will never make the other person happy because your heart is somewhere else.

Well Idk I mean I don't see why you would be with anyone else if you love someone. But would you like it if your lover was in love with someone else? It would hurt so I guess its cheating.

I don't know if you could call it "emotional" cheating, but it's sure not fair to the person you're in a relationship with.

It's not fair for your partner.
If you are in a relationship with him/her, it's best to be honest and if they love you very much, they should understand how you feel and work it out together.

Technically, it's not cheating, but emotionally, you wouldn't be fully devoted to your partner, which is pretty bad to say the least. If this is a real situation, the best thing to do is to tell your partner that you love someone else and break up with him or her. It's better to be honest.

You should be honest with your partner. If you love someone else, you can't love them to your fullest. Loving someone else may be even worse than just hooking up with someone else... In some ways.
