If 2 people have been dating but not in a committed relationship for about 4 months and one person decides to go on a date with a guy and not tell the other person that they went on a date, is this considered cheating?
@pupplyloving,
I wouldn't consider it cheating, but I would wonder why there is a need to date someone else.
@CalamityJane,
thank you for the reply! It was a complicated situation but with all of the fights and disagreements we were having I thought it would be a good idea to reevaluate what I thought I had with this person and go on a date with someone new.
@pupplyloving,
Have you come to an conclusion after the date?
@CalamityJane,
I realized that my feelings were strong for the person I had been dating for 4 months shortly after the date. He found out that I had gone on a date and accused me of being a cheater but I completely disagree with him and now he doesn't want to date me anymore.
@pupplyloving,
If it isn't a committed relationship, why not tell the other person that you're dating other people at the same time?
@pupplyloving,
Well, he probably had a different perception of your relationship and that's the risk you take when you date more than one person. It's his prerogative to not accept it and move on.
@ehBeth,
I was fearful of losing him but at the same time I needed to know whether what him and I had was strong and I thought that by going on a date with someone new it would help me figure out how much I actually liked him and if all of the arguments were with sticking around.
@CalamityJane,
Yes, that is exactly what I tried explaining to him but he doesn't seem to understand or want to listen to my opinion at all

being honest about the date in advance might have prevented the upset caused by this ^^^
the next time you start dating someone, make sure you're both in the same place about whether you're both cool with dating other people
@pupplyloving,
It's his right not to agree.
You've learned a lesson about communicating in relationships.
@ehBeth,
back to the question though, would you consider any of that cheating?
@pupplyloving,
No, but you betrayed him.
