Your Cheating Heart

OK, so I step away from this place for a while, OK for five years, and when I come back it's a freakin' wasteland.  Let's get some cheating stories going on.

I've heard a few opinions on whether or not the following encounter constitutes cheating. I'd like to hear a few more. ( Collapse )As a side note, this was definitely not my only experience with infidelity, and none of the rest were even remotely questionable, but you'll hear about those later, as I try to figure out exactly what makes me do this. *le sigh*

Borrowing on the teachings of the estimable William Jefferson Clinton, but with a twist.

This is just a very short story and a couple of questions.

I know that technically, since they all know that there are others this isn't cheating, but some people tell me that they think it is - I guess more properly, they think it's infidelity.

The Cheating Continues

I actually cheated on my ex a couple of months before we got married. To start at the beginning, my ex was Dutch and though her parents had emigrated to the US, most of the rest of her family was still living back in Europe. We traveled to Europe frequently and we often entertained relatives when they came stateside to visit. Her favourite cousin, Morris, and his wife, Alfie (she pronounced it Ell-fee) were staying with us for a month using our house as a base of operations to take other trips around the US.( Collapse )

Like a lot of people, I've always had a fascination with forbidden fruit. Tell me I can't have something, and even if I didn't want it in the first place, I'll want it after that. ( Collapse )

I have this thing for married men. I don't know what it is but I just can't keep my hands off of them. As soon as I see that little gold band my radar is on and I am fixated. So, on to the story... ( Collapse )

Cyber-cheating. Anyone done it? You know, having something going on with someone online, whether it's on IM, or IRC or in a space like this, hell, even via email. Lot's of possibilities with this one. Having a real relationship in meatspace and keeping one or more on the side in cyberland, and your boy/girlfriend husband or wife can't figure out what's so appealing to you about that damn computer. Maybe you're having one main relationship in cyberland and cheating on them with someone else in cyberspace. Or, maybe you're conducting a serious relationship online, maybe with someone you know in meatspace but you're separated from, and still making the time for a little action on the side in real-life.

The closest I've come to cybercheating was a few years ago when I was seeing a woman who did phone sex as a second job. Sometimes, when I was over, she'd get a call and the first couple of times it happened I just sat there kind of awkward, not really knowing what to do, what my role was supposed to be, if I had any role at all. Then, maybe the third time it happened, I decided I wasn't going to just sit there and listen, 'cause that was just too, I don't know, too, voyeuristic. After she'd donned her headset, I sat down next to her and started to sneak into her shorts while she was on the phone with her caller. She tried to bat me away at first, but I'm a persistent little imp and I kept it up. Pretty soon I had her going good and she was as hot as the caller she was talking too. She and I had a great sex session and by the time she was done with him, she was done. She definitely gave that guy a realistic performance and I imagine that he thought she was just totally wild, and I suppose that's not too far from the truth. I know he got his money's worth, and I know that she earned her portion of the call, and I know I had a good time. We did that several other times and it was fun each time, 'cause we never knew how it would turn out. It was kind of like the cyber-stuff, 'cause it was anonymous and distant, but it wasn't exactly.

Anyway, this made-up world of false identities and electronic anonymity seems like it's ideal for cheaters who want to skulk around in the shadows cloaked in mystery and intrigue. But then that's just me thinking out loud.

Anyone else got a tale to tell?

This one is a little more esoteric because it's a double cheat. When I think of where I was emotionally when this happened, I'm somewhat amazed that I made it through that period without self-destructing.
