Everyone,
Praise God!! I was cheating in the manner I described, but I prayed about it. The other party has broken off the relationship. I feel guilty, and also feel cowardly for not being the one to stop it, but grateful to God that it ended. I will go to confession, then I will do it no more and move on with my life and my marriage. BTW I just returned from Disney and We loved it. My family and I will go back next november ( 2009 )
God bless us all
Trail.
 
Hi, I remember you 🙂 Glad things are looking up and you have some relief. God Bless.

Please don’t judge me, I just need straightforward honest advice.
If I online roleplay and that character has a romantic relationship with another character, am I cheating on my wife?

Hi

Let me ask you. If your wife spent time in a virtual world and her virtual character flirted with another virtual character how would you feel??

I am no longer engaging in the aforementioned acts. And this week at confession I plan to be done with the entire situation. I consider this a dead thread ( sorry for the rhyme…) God Bless you all. See you in another thread.

The question is, does this activity take you away from spending time with your wife, to tend to her needs or are you doing this in place of developing a more loving and giving relation with your wife. If so, then it may not be cheating in the mannor of a physical relation, but is because you are neglecting your spouse it is. It will be harmful to your relationship in the same mannor as viewing on line porn. Both are degrading to your relationship with your wife.

Peace,

Traillius, I’m glad you found your answer. ^^

And if it is a dead thread, would you mind me borrowing it for a question or two? It’s related and a whole other thread might be a waste.

What about the rest of us roleplayers? I’m not talking hardcore anything, and it’s paragraphs written like a story or a book. There happen to be characters that interact romantically, whether both are written by the same person or two different people. Or there’s when writing a story and there happens to be romance in it [not bodice-rippers]. Would this all be a form of cheating?
 
Yes, you are “cheating.” and you need to stop, and you need to go to Confession.

Only “cheating” isn’t the correct term. What is the correct term:
Concupiscence, perhaps?

James 1:14 *** each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire conceives and brings forth sin, and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers:
Matthew 5:27-28
*** "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.***

1 Samuel 16:7
Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the appearance but the LORD looks into the heart."

God cares about your heart, man. He cares about your relationship with Him. The temperature of your relationship with your wife is telling you something.
 
Congratulations on turning away from this sinful situation. So glad to hear that Disney was wonderful for you. I pray that you and your wife see how God has stepped in. Let Him redirect your lives back towards each other through Him. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” -Phil 4:13
 
I know this is a bit old, but I would have to say, for most people, NO. If roleplaying a character getting romantically involved with another one is cheating (assuming nothing of a sexual nature is ever described), then all authors that have romances in their books are cheating, all play and movie and TV writers are cheating. BUT if you are having issues in your marriage, it might be a good idea to back off from this sort of thing, and pay more attention to your wife. People can become addicted to it, or use it as an unhealthy escape.

(Perhaps this has been resolved already, I didn’t read the whole thread, but I just wanted to give my 2 cents)
