~~fast reply~~ my standard response to the question "is it cheating?" is "judge how hurt and betrayed your partner is going to feel when s/he finds out, and let that be your guide". obviously the OP's submissive's wife felt like he was cheating on her, even if all he had done was talk to the dominant in question. SHE felt betrayed and hurt and cheated on. it doesnt matter what i think, or what you (collective you) think, or what joey-down-the-street thinks. the man's wife felt like he had done something that betrayed the intimacy that he had promised to only share with her. yes, its absolutely possible to have a non-sexual D/s relationship, and i've seen those here on collarme. and they can work out wonderfully for those individuals...but its *still* a form of intimacy, you know? you're sharing a bit of yourself that you arent sharing with anyone else at that moment. and if you've promised not to share those really personal intimacies with anyone else but your promised partner (promised = boy/girlfriend, spouse, co-habitor, whatever) then its a form of cheating, and someone is going to feel hurt if its not pre-declared that this is ok. why set ones' self up for a lot of drama and heartbreak if one doesnt have to? just food for thought. kitten
