Apologies for not writing...

I have been out of the loop of writing for a little bit. I apologize to my loyal readers.

    What constitutes cheating? Is it a mystical moment of weakness? Is it a desperate attempt at attention? What are the rules of cheating if there are rules? If you are in a long distance relationship, does that change the rules? So many factors are included in long distance relationships. You never see one another, you never get the chance for intimacy, and then what happens when the idea of moving comes into play? You move all that way to live with someone you only get to see once a month.You get there and suddenly you realize you know nothing about this person. You have seen them 12 times in the last year. I am not saying that long distance relationships can't work, it's just they bring up a set of questions that maybe wouldn't normally come up. For example, if you go to a party and someone is interested, do you flirt? do you tell them your in a committed relationship? What do you do? I have a very good friend who is torn between two guys. Both guys live quite a ways from her. One 5 hours away and the other at least a day away in travel. She likes both men, she cares for both men, she has spent time with both men and she can't decide who she wants to be with. So she decided to be with both. Does this mean she is cheating? It's long distance and she see's them rarely. She is emotionally committed to both, but she asks me the question, am I a bad person for doing that? Am I a cheater? I honestly didn't know what to say to respond to her. I guess it's considered cheating, but when someone is so far away... what constitutes cheating? I'm not quite sure I even know the answer to that question. I am with someone right now who I care deeply for. He lives quite a ways away, but we try to make it work.. I guess in the end, you decide your own rules of cheating.. in the end it's you who has to live with the consequences.
