Cheating if it is strictly platonic and emotional?

My ex husband used to call me fat and ugly every single day, and tell me the only reason why he was with me is because he could bone me.

Then I started talking to this guy at school, and I told my ex how fun he was.

My ex got pissed I was hanging out with a guy, so it was easier to say friends, instead of this guy by name. Now my ex keeps saying that it was cheating.

the flesh cheats.....the heart never lies

If you weren't sleeping or making out with him how does he figure you cheated? Unless because the fact you hid it from him or lied because you had to because he seems like an a--. Mabey this is why he is an ex!!!!

Who cares what your ex thinks?

The judge?

I suppose your ex can also provide substantial proof of this occurence?

No. I hung out in groups mostly.

Sounds like your ex is as full of crap as ever. He was an abuser, OBVIOUSLY, so stop listening to his crap. Don't even consider what he has said as that is indicative of him still having an emotional grip on you, Sweetie. If you are smart, you will have as little to do with your ex as possible. Don't allow him to have any control over you at all.

talking and hanging out is not cheating.it is only cheating if it is physical and the judge knows it

No it's not cheating if you are just talking as friends. If you was having sex and commiting yourself to him, then yes it would be cheating, but you said just talking.

Bingo.

In my opinion, it is cheating to even think about someone else while you are in a relationship in a romantic fashion. If it's platonic in your mind and not just physically, then it's simply friendship. If you have a partner who treats you like that...need friends more than ever! Especially in need of friends who will encourage you to leave such a bad situations as that. I am glad he is your ex, for sure! Wishing you success finding someone who can treat you with kindness in your next relationship.

I fail to see the concern...

He said because I didn't mention *Clint* (name has been changed) by name and because I hung out with him a lot it was lying to him.

lust in your heart is considered cheating....

by many..

Maybe cheating emotionally but what does he expect, he drove u too it, everyone needs to feel good about themselves and your friend was there for you!!!

Your man sounds just like mine.

Well hopefully he gets over himself before making a fool of himself...I still don't see why you are bothering about with this nonexistant issue.

Its been my experience that when your S/O accuses you of cheating it's because they are guilty of it themselves...

Some affairs are emotional. Most combine physical and emotional love, but some are just one or the other.
