When you’re in a relationship and you say happen to be out with friends for a girls night out, and you meet someone, if you only kiss them , make out with some touching and feeling, or maybe oral, do you think that counts as cheating or not?

I have been honestly amazed by the amount of bullshit people spew here. Is that cheating? Well... Clearly there are people who would say no. But you know the answer. I don't even have any interest in condemning that. I'm okay with that. In fact I'm happy for you because you had fun. But can we please just cut this shit and stop talking to each other like we're goddamn children? You know what you did. Own it. Stop telling yourself you didn't do what you know you did. Just fucking accept that you cheated on your boyfriend. That's what you did. You did that. I am BEGGING you to stop telling yourself you're innocent. Just own what you did. I don't even think there's anything wrong with it. I'm not saying you shouldn't have done it. I'm just saying you did it. Now please be honest about it. Own up to it.

Here's the real question. Why do you feel the need to ask if something is cheating or create your own extremely narrow definitions of cheating when you KNOW goddamn well you're lying to yourself and everyone else? Why can't you just own up to it? Why can't you just face what you've done? Why do you need to deny reality? Is it that painful for you? Can you really not face up to it? Does it hurt that much, really?
