My stbx has admitted to me that he is in love with another woman. He denies ever having sex with her (although I doubt this highly). During my preganancy he spent more time with her than he did me and he went to her instead of coming to me when he started to question our marriage. He has been intimate with her on an emotional level. To me he has cheated but he doesn't think so.

I would classify that as cheating. He needed to be there for you emotionally, not her.

You can argue the semantics of it if you want - whether cheating requires a sexual relationship or not - but he did cheat you out of your relationship, so yes - in my mind, that is cheating. Maybe not of the worst kind, but yes - I would say that it is.

It is an affair. That is the same way it started with my ex and the ow.
Intimate affairs are worse than physical affairs.

he cheated! his focus should be on you 100%! Sharing any part of himself with another woman is cheating!

yes being involved emotionally is just as much as being involved physically. My wife continues this flirting with someone. She tells me she needs time to figure us out. What is there to figure out you are either in it or your not.

He cheated.

MimiL: Just to correct a misconception, the mainstream Mormons dont believe in polygamy however there is a derivative of them (a whole different church) that believe in it and practice it.

It's cheating and you are wise to have your doubts about them having sex. Anyway..it's time and energy and emotions that were offered to someone other than you..it's cheating.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
