Is it normal i consider lusting as cheating?
I have been dating the same guy for five years, and I make it clear that I consider lusting after another girl as cheating.
There is a thin line between lust and cheating, so I put this standard in place in order to avoid any conflict between us.
If someone stares at a bunch of other girls then they have thoughts about being with them. In their mind they want to cheat on their partner, which is betraying their partners trust and demonstrating they don't love them.
A person that truly loves their partner would never even think about cheating because that is one of the most deplorable things you can do.
In addition, you are treating the other girl like a sex object when you lust after them. I can't believe all these guys that stare at beautiful women. Did they ask you to demean them and treat them like less than human beings? Um, no.
What do you guys think? Does it make sense to put your limits out there so your partner doesn't mess up? Any other suggestions?
