that song? Now? Man?All the small things anyways, is kissing

(00:24):
somebody who you aren't in a relationshipwith while you are in a relationship a
small thing? Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we always talk about
something in the Great Debate. Andthis came up because there's a new article
that said cheating is usually a murkysubject. Everyone has a different opinion,

(00:46):
but when it comes to fifty twopercent of people pulled, they said kissing
someone else is not cheating. WHOA. I want to know who these fifty
two percent people are because they arenobody that I know. No, Well,
we're living in a different generation nowwhere people are cool with that stuff.
I'm sorry. If you're in arelationship, you better not lap your

(01:07):
lips around anybody else's mouth except theone who you are beholden to. So
the question this morning for the GreatDebate is kissing someone while you're in a
relationship. And we're not like,oh hi, mom, kiss Oh hi,

(01:30):
you know Tommy kids, not likea little peck on. No,
we're talking about kissing somebody. Ifyou're in a relationship, Is that considered
cheating or what is considered cheating?Because to me, that is it?
There is not it, and thatis it. Like jag, you're it.

(01:51):
If you're kissing somebody else and you'rein a relationship, you are wrong
as the day is long. Yeah, Christy, I think if you're kissing
someone else, it's considered cheating,or if you start having feelings for someone,
that's considered cheating. If you havefeelings for someone, I have feelings
for Rihanna, if I'm in arelationship that will never change that it is
different. That is like a celebrity. It's so like you're saying I couldn't

(02:14):
date. What do you trying tosay? You know, I came over
here to the debate. When youstart having feelings for someone else that is
not your partner, I think thatis considered cheating. I don't know that's
considered cheating if you're not acting onit. What do you think is the

(02:35):
question? One eight six six ninehundred one three seven or tap the red
microphone on our iHeartRadio app would loveto hear your thoughts this morning on the
Great Debate, is kissing someone elseconsidered cheating? What do you consider cheating?
And or do you think I havea shot with Rihanna? Hear from

(03:01):
you next. Thanks for listening backto the Great Debate. Dyes plus at
one oh three point seven got ahot topic this morning. What do you
consider cheating for this morning's Great Debate? That is the question, Teresa,

(03:23):
following a little bit of everything reallythe heart, yeah, the hearts of
mind, everything. I mean,it could be emotional, but you know,
like you're in a relationship with somebodyfor a long time, even a
short time, you know, ifyou're trying to talk to somebody to get
at them, yeah, that's cheating. Okay, so you're like, uh
uh, don't even be looking andtalk talk to someone else. That's fair.

(03:43):
Thanks for the call Terresa, havea great day. Good morning,
Nathan, thanks for calling away inon the Great Debate. What do you
think is considered cheating? I mean, I think that you need to find
in advance what your what your monogamyrules are if you're gonna do monogamy,
Like, maybe your relationship does allowkissing, Maybe it doesn't, But it's

(04:05):
the sort of thing you should actuallytalk about, not just assume you're on
the same page. That is sotrue. You know, for me,
when I'm in a relationship, oftentimesI keep things open because not everybody is
monogamous. But as long as youcan be honest about it, that's the
most important thing. Yeah. Imean, I actually don't really do monogamy

(04:28):
anymore, but when I did,we would have conversations in in van.
So what do you consider cheating?I only do non monogamous relationships now,
so you know, we really don'tuse the word cheating in any of my
relationships. But in the past I'veI have had rules that are like,
all right, no kissing, butthen like you know, we'd go to
parties or whatever and have conversations inadvance about that, so you know,
it's just differs. Well, thatis a very interesting perspective, Nathan,

(04:51):
and I appreciate you calling to shareit. You have a great day.
Good morning, Eve. A newarticle said fifty two percent couples think kissing
someone else outside of the relationship isnot cheating. What do you think.
I think if you're not active uponit, you're not cheating. But if
you are in a relationship with someoneand you are kissing someone that you're not

(05:12):

Do not go there, okay,especially behind someone's back. That's not
okay. Thank you so much forthe call, Eve, You're welcome.
You have a break day, ladies, Thank you you too. Where do

And today talking about a survey thatsaid most couples don't consider kissing someone
else when you're in a relationship cheating. Now I'm talking about kissing somebody else
who you're not in the relationship with, Maya, What do you consider cheating
anything that you're doing that's like sneakingor that you don't want your partner to

(07:04):
know about, You know, evenif it's seems timeless to you. If
you're keeping secrets or lying or somethingyou know that your significant other isn't gonna
like, then you shouldn't be doingit. Kissing, texting someone being overly
friendly. If you wouldn't do itin front of the person you're with,
then I think that's that's not beingtotally honest. Thanks Maya, good morning

(07:28):
Carla, do you consider kissing someoneelse you're not in a relationship with cheating?
That is absolutely cheating. Yes,that absolutely crosses the line. There's
no reason that you need to goand kiss someone else if it's just for
like fun, right, or ifit's not for pleasure right, There's no
reason that that needs to happen.So in my eyes, yes, that

(07:50):
is one hundred percent cheating and Iwould have a big issue with it if
my partner did that that part.Okay, thank you so much, Carla
Holly, thanks for calling away inon this morning's great debate. A new
survey said that most people in relationshipsdon't consider kissing someone else cheating. What

(08:13):
do you think A couple private messageson Twitter here and there with some axes,
but it just feels harmless. Butguess I am micro cheating. I
mean, I didn't really think ofit that way, but that's that's what
it is like. But I meanit is kind of fun. Let me
tell you fun, we'll get youin some trouble. Yeah, oh yeah,
for sure. I hope the funis worth it. That's all I

(08:35):
got to say. All Right,thank you so much for the calls and
the talk bags. Producer Karna,what is the majority rule for this morning's
great debate when it comes to whatis and what isn't cheating, kissing or
having to hide something from your partneris considered cheating. You know, it's

(08:56):
kind of funny that most of thewomen were like, hell, yeah,
that's getting and the dudes we're like, well, you know, kind of
like it's great. Yeah, I'veknown a couple of guys that have done
that. So sound a little bitter. I'm just saying, when you find
a secret phone hiding in the closs, you better hide your burden. You
better hide it better than that toput it on silence, don't let me

(09:18):
find it. I'm just saying,Oh, it's just a friendly text message.
