Is Looking Cheating? Really? I Need to Hear Your Thoughts On This!

(Michigan)

Is looking cheating? I would really like to hear your thoughts on this. I think it is completely crazy to consider it cheating.

I came across the below excerpt in a forum yesterday and had to post it here to see what others thought. I am someone that really values a relationship and the commitment involved to make one work but I would never think to even consider looking at someone else cheating.

Here is the excerpt:

I believe that looking is cheating. I believe that anything I am allowed to see and touch with my bf and what he is allowed to see and touch should not be seen and touched by anyone else!

Now I would definitely say that it may be very disrespectful to stare at someone else in admiration when you are with your partner but even a quick glance I think is natural.

I think that most people do admire beauty and a glance is just basically giving someone else their props. Would you agree with this? Am I missing something?

I guess the problem could become what is a glance and what time frame officially puts you at the “okay buddy, that’s enough!” line.

I guess what I am asking is if a lot of people out there actually considers looking at someone else cheating. Not disrespectful or even wrong but cheating.

So I pose the question to you, “Is looking cheating?”
I am curious to hear what others think.

Maybe I am crazy. I will reply to any comments on this topic.
