Sexting is the easiest way to cheat. Our ever-expanding ability to contact anyone in the world, anytime has made being unfaithful partners easy too.
Nobody at all wants to talk about cheating, especially your lying and cheating partner. Most of us don’t want to hear the bitter truth. When it comes down to it, you want to stay with your partner if you love them.
The same may not be their thinking of you or your well-being.
It’s a very serious question and an even more serious answer. Where do you draw the line?
Sexting is cheating and some people can’t stop, won’t stop
It’s not that you are not enough, physically or emotionally enough but rather that they are endlessly selfish and can’t
The breaking news is that you’re going to have to leave. There’s no fixing it without both people trying and it doesn’t look like your partner is much for trying.
Why do I believe sexting is cheating?
#1 It is breaking trust
If the person you trust more than anybody else breaks your trust, there’s not much left to talk about. Sexting is a clear, intentional break of trust and if your partner cannot see that, it may be a good idea to be ready for the worst.
What comes after you find out is going to be more heart-breaking.
#2 They are emotionally invested
When your partner is emotionally and sexually involved in dreaming about someone else while you are alive and breathing, through the dust it becomes clear that you need to up and leave.
#3 Your partner is sharing an intimate bond
And it is not with you.
If someone is not being physically intimate, it doesn’t imply that it does not exist. Showing yourself off to get them off amounts to a lot when it comes to a relationship and it is the same when applied to situations outside of the relationship.
Your partner sends you nudes and that is to seduce you, the same goes for other people they send nudes to and it is simply not fair to you.
#4 They do it intentionally – they want more out of it
When two people are sexting, it is usually because they want to have more of the person they’re doing it with. It is like having an appetiser before enjoying the steamy, dirty and awful main-course they want to have.
That’s where sharing hot pictures of themselves part comes in and sweeps it crystal clear so as to what your next step should be.
What I mean to say is that the person who is sexting someone else is clearly into them and hopes to see it go further than that in no small way.
#5 Being physical equals cheating
And this is being physical over the phone. If they are doing it through the phone, they’re probably going to be physical soon. And it counts as cheating simply for the fact that they want more than you and you alone.
Commitment comes as a part of any relationship and it’s always equal for two people. If it is not the case, it’s not a relationship anymore, is it?
#6 Lies – guilt – break up
A large part of your partner sexting someone else involves them lying to you. Lying to you mean that they feel guilty and that directlly implies that they are well aware of the things they are up to.
The guilt will inevitably lead them to hide the fact from you. Now you may be asking yourself “what should I do?”
Here’s what to do if you are faced with this:
There are things you need to do before you finally decide to pack up and leave:
#1 Confront your partner:
If you doubt your partner of sexting or found about it by chance, the first thing to do is to confront your partner about it. Ask them what’s going on, how long it has been going on. Get all the details you need from them. It would be better not go giving them the silent treatment once they do share.
#2 Discuss their unfaithfulness
Talk about what their idea of cheating is. Is sexting cheating according to them? If they refuse, the obvious next question is, “Would you be okay with it if I did it too?”
Even if they don’t think it is cheating, it probably hurt you and it is still a huge betrayal of trust.
#3 Decide what to do next :
The next big step after having discussed how you feel about it is to decide what you want to do. Breaking trust that cannot be re-built is the death sentence of any relationship. It is the most difficult thing to fix in any relationship and may not even be possible in cases like this.
Now you know what to do and how to go about your partner’s sexting.
