Is one kiss cheating?

[Anonymous]

Undeniable attraction between myself and a gentleman down the street but it's always been kept well in check. I'm happily married and haven't had feelings for anyone else in 20 years but we shared a brief kiss when I went to his house to pick up some gear my husband had left there. Wasn't even in the house. Just the backyard. Won't be picking up stuff alone again, I guess. And Christ, during a Pandemic. Ugh.

Anyone else, just had a 60-second moment of weakness and moved on? We all make mistakes?

You suck. Move on.

Of course it’s cheating.

How did you end up kissing, OP, if you both kept your emotions in check?

No judgement from me. I have a crush too

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's totally cheating.

Dont tell your husband. Move on. Stay away.
But yeah, it's cheating. But it could get so much worse, so stay. away.

It doesn't matter what we think. It matters what your husband would think.

If I were him, I'd rather not know. Don't do it again, and don't put yourself in a position where you could do it again.

Would you tell your husband about it? I think it depends on the rules in your own relationship. This wouldn't be cheating in my relationship, but I also wouldn't keep it from my husband.

11:37: I think the general unmoored feeling the Pandemic is causing

11:38: Yep. I agree. Stay away indeed! My husband can take two trips next time.

Yes. A lot of people consider emotional talking cheating. So of course a physical kiss is cheating

Dua Lipa said it best.

The emotional affair clearly started well before the kiss. You've been cheating since it began.

No, we don't all make mistakes kissing someone other than our spouse. You definitely sent your neighbor a signal that will be hard to turn off unilaterally.

My neighbor/friend's husband asked me for a kiss once (when she was out of town).

I was shocked.

He said he was just curious.

I said no, and never told her. They later got divorced...because SHE had lost interest in him. Now I wonder if he was sad/feeling rejected. Either way, I did not need to get into the middle of their rat's nest.
