Writers Ramble

Having recently listened to a show during which they debated whether wives cheat more today than 20 years ago or whether they are just more willing to talk about it today. That many women today leave their husbands for new partners found on the internet I consider what actually constitutes cheating.

Everybody has at sometime flirted with a member of the opposite sex with no intention of their behaviour ever being more than just a bit of fun. Women go to stag shows and lap up the entertaiment on offer but go home to their partner/husband. I am one of the worst flirts ever, I love the game and flirt daily but never considered anything further. In an age of chat rooms and so many more opportunities of meeting others at which point does flirting become cheating? It is very possible and a frequent occurance for people today to have 'cyber sex' is this further flirtatious fun or cheating? At what point do we consider our actions to be cheating rather than an extention of the flirting game is it only when physical contact takes place or when the mind considers the actions?
