If you’re hiding it from your partner, it’s probably at least emotionally cheating. If they know about it and it isn’t breaking any set boundaries in the relationship, I don’t see the issue.

I’ve totally done this as a guy with a girl friend before, all that matters is your intentions. If you ain’t tryna cheat then you ain’t cheating. Don’t take that too far tho

I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily cheating but depends on the boundaries in your relationship and the topic of conversation a slight gray area if anything

It might not be cheating in the physical sense but it can still be emotional cheating

I think this sounds like it could become cheating very quickly considering you don’t sound like you actually want to be with your fiance. It’s definitely a boundary that should be talked about before things go further for all of your sakes.

Then at the very least you’re being dishonest in the relationship.

It’s not about hating myself, it’s about loyalty to my family

Because he’s wealthy, has a good career, comes from a good family, is very devoutly religious, and can give me a good future. Plus if we were married it would help both our family’s business interests according to my dad

I don’t think anything I say could change your mind but it sounds like you come from a decent family aswell. I’d really consider breaking things off your life is gonna be miserable if you can’t stand him

Honestly I want my mind to be changed so so so badly. But I can’t get over the fact that if I broke things off my parents would kick me out and shun me so I’d lose all my loved ones and be homeless

I don’t necessarily think it’s cheating yet btw. It being a secret is not good though. If your fiance considers you talking to another guy cheating then it is cheating to him regardless of what anyone else thinks. It’s the secrecy of it all that’s sketchy. Maybe he’d be fine if you just told him about this friend.

Tbh I don’t think it’ll become physical cheating at all since I’m waiting til marriage and literally the only thing I’ve ever done is a couple small pecking kisses

Okay so then you know this is a boundary you aren’t suppose to cross. Which in my eyes is cheating girl. I don’t see this ending well. My husband doesn’t care if I have guy friends but he would care if I was secretly talking to one behind his back. Especially because it sounds like this other guy makes you feel good.

Not going to lie I think emotionally cheating is worse though. So you gotta think about this and determine if it’s something you’re willing to deal with the consequences of getting caught.

Does it count as emotionally cheating if I literally don’t have any feelings at all for my fiance and only have feelings for my guy friend? Because like I’m not two timing, I only have feelings for one guy

I wouldn’t call it a boundary because to him gods word is biblical law, so he sees me talking to men outside my family as me sinning against god and breaking the law

That is emotionally cheating. Doesn’t matter if you aren’t in love with your fiance. Youre still in a relationship with him and falling for another guy. It sounds like you’ve got a lot of stuff to figure out and I hope you do. Truly.
