Hirap e. For some, and i think at worst, just having an enjoyable conversation daw is micro cheating na.
Then again, if whatever it is you are doing with a third party of the opposite gender is something na hindi mo kaya ishare sa partner mo, then you are probably cheating na. Alam mo naman na sa sarili mo yan.
More attune to this topic, on how to stop cheating. Well, try to be content sa kinalalagyan mong relationship. Yes, there are moments na anlala na sa pakiramdam, gusto mo nalang bumitaw, pero hindi pwede for one reason or another. You have to understand that relationships are a lot of work. You have to invest and struggle to make it to the end. Pwedeng tumaba na ang partner mo, hindi na kayo nagssex, you are no longer interested sa kanya kase puro nag at pagbubungaga ang ginagawa sayo, but it is how it is. Once upon a time, nainlove ka sa kanya. If your partner changed at some point, ganun talaga e. Paninindigan ang tawag jan. If hindi mo na talaga matiis, at least be man enough to end it before pursuing others. That includes dealing with the consequences of it all. If tingin mo hindi worth it ang consequences, it only means hindi ka pa ready to give up. That should make you stop cheating.
Basically, if gusto mo magcheat, think of it as if may consequence. An extreme example, if you cheat, may mamamatay ka na loved one as a result, as if that is the definite consequence. I-internalize mo yung loss and effect. If ok lang sayo, edi magcheat ka na.
