Oi, we're scientists too! :mad:
In case you don't know, we're also allowed to probe inside people's heads and do science-y stuff like that! |

Actually, I wouldn't put it in so simple terms. I'm inclined to agree with your no nonsense drama-free definition, reason why the very first thing I said was "No matter the sex, cheating is cheating", don't get me wrong. However, things are not always this simple:- A friend of my brother likes to have a steady boyfriend, found one, yet she made it clear from the outset that she needs (and will) make out with other women during their relationship. It is, in a sense, a monogamous relationship - guy meets girl, guy dates no other girl, girl dates no other guy, and they live happily thereafter.
But it's an odd kind of monogamy, because she keeps seeing people that are totally unlike him. Would you say that's an open relationship when there are so many limits to how open it actually is?
I guess Intellekshual's and David Michael's definitions are a better starting point, and this relationship I mentioned clearly shows it: the guy agreed with her terms, so you can't really say she's cheating on him. |
Once again, that's not a monogamous relationship. I have no issues with people doing what they want in their own private relationships, but her boyfriend is an idiot if she's roped him into believing they are in a monogamous relationship.
Tell him he's whipped and he should go find where he left his balls. |

whoa whoa whoa... sure it's not a monogamous relationship, but why do the agreed-upon parameters of admissible sexual conduct within their relationship equate to him being whipped? sure it's not traditional, but so what? why does it equate to emasculation in your view? |

Because, she's still seeing other people. It's not monogamous, ergo, the guy is a mook for believing that it is. |

I don't know him. She used to date my brother (it was a rather unidirectional relationship that amused me to no end) and they're friends now, so that's why I know about this bloke.
Although I'm not sure I'd accept to be in a similar relationship myself (unless I really couldn't care less, much like my brother couldn't), I'm not sure it's correct to say he's whipped. Maybe he really is cool with her dating other girls as long as she doesn't ditch him for one of them. And, as far as I know, she's never done something like that. |

If you were a guy with any sense of self-worth, you would know exactly why he's whipped.
It sounds like she's got him wrapped around her little finger, which is absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if she actually preferred women but kept him around because there's a lot of benefits to that.
I'm drawing a long bow because I don't know them, but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen it happen. |

Hmm... that may well be true.

Really!? And I used to think she was just uniquely mental in her own way :p |

| What, women having guys do whatever they want even though they know the relationship will never last and they keep them around because it's convenient? It's a ing epidemic over here. |
