Love, Sex, Marriage & Cheating
What a topic…recently I had a friend experience a relationship trauma - his partner of many years cheated on him. This brief affair by his boyfriend caught my friend by surprise and of course he had to process all the drama and emotions of ending the relationship, moving out of their shared home, finding a new place to live, etc. This is the nightmare most of us wish we never had to deal with, but from his experience was raised an interesting question and debate for the gay community.
My friend found out that his partner’s affair started with cyber-sex with another man, which eventually led into physical encounters where the cheating continued briefly before it was discovered by both of these men’s partners.
So here at Rainbow Wedding Network Magazine we wanted to ask the community their thoughts about Love, Sex, Marriage & Cheating. Now that we are all living in the global world and find ourselves connected via cell phones, text messaging, myspace, facebook, You Tube, the internet, chat rooms, etc.... just how accessible we are to each other everyday? Is this technology leading to more opportunities for one partner to stray?
So here is our debate…Reply in our online forum (on http://www.samelovesamerights.com/) and let’s hear the truth! Would you consider that your partner cheated on you if s/he had cyber-sex with another person?
Would you forgive your partner and continue a relationship with them if the cheating happened in the cyber-world versus a physical encounter?
Have you ever cheated on your partner via cyber-sex with another person?
Do you consider cyber-sex with another person a sexual encounter?
Would you question your sexual orientation as gay or lesbian, if you had a cyber encounter with a member of the other gender?
Let us know your thoughts! Rainbow Wedding Network Magazine will publish the results and some of your comments.
