Hypotetical situation-
Guy is a truck driver and is in Toronto, his wife lives an hour away, he can't get home one night so spends it with a friend (friend happens to be female), the next time he's in town he decides to spend the night with the friend again ( separate rooms to be sure) and over the course of TWO years he spends more and more and more time at the female friend's house instead of going home to be with his wife; it gets to the point that the female friend now invites him to family gatherings, birthdays, family cottage, bbqs, thanksgiving and he accepts them all even though he has a wife living an hour away.
Is he cheating on his wife?? Or just spending time with a really good friend??

    I think that even if he is "just spending time with a really good friend" - if he is choosing to spend holidays and special events with someone other than his wife, when she's only an hour away, that relationship has some major issues.

    Yeah he's probably cheating, and that's messed up regardless.

    Does the wife know about it? If so, how does the wife feel about it?

    I don't understand why the question is "is he cheating". To me, he is emotionally checked out of his realtionship if he is spending his time with another person and not going home to his wife. If I were her, I would leave, life is too short to be spent wondering.

    Emotionally checked out absolutely. If he's choosing the other woman and going to family gatherings, over spending time with his wife, there's something not right going on there. I'd be p*ssed.

    Emotional cheating. Why is this guy spending holiday's with another person. Why is his wife not invited as well. This other woman knows that he is married yet she is disrespecting her by inviting her husband to her functions.

    On my way to the gym there is a bakery. I always stop and stare at the donuts. I lust after them. Every day I linger a little longer. I think of inviting that devilishly enticing donut to my car. Of taking her for long rides...of quiet walks in the park. Of late night dancing in the moonlight. I long for that donut. But I've never made an advance. Am I cheating?

    Why exactly can't he get home? I could maybe deal with that if it was like a once a year situation but him spending more and more time there and now spending holidays and vacations with her. While they might not be having sex (yet), he's definitely not interested in a relationship with his wife anymore - emotionally or otherwise. Why the hell is the wife putting up with this crap for so long?!

    Has this wife talked to her husband directly about it and, if so, what does he say?

    Regardless, I agree with the others. He spends too much time away from the wife with someone else. But I have to wonder what sort of relationship they have if this has been going on for two years and has not been resolved.

    question: Hypothetically, would you be the husband or the girlfriend trying to get the internet to tell you it's ok to treat the (hypothetical of course) wife worse than you would a roommate?

    Yeah, labeling this as hypothetical is... well... pointless.

    And definitely cheating. I wouldn't necessarily buy the separate rooms thing.

    My grandfather, father and brother are all truckers. An hour's drive is nothing to a trucker. Jeez, to ANYONE living in Toronto, and hour's drive is nothing. I would definately be questioning his commitment level.

    Of course he's cheating! And there's nothing hypothetical about this question. Sorry your husband is a dirtbag.

    And of course they're knockin' boots. He needs to get honest about that and decide what he wants.
    Separate rooms...lol
    That's like Bill Clinton saying he didn't inhale! :D

    I'd be questioning his freedom from venereal diseases.

    Just read your profile and methinks you are wife in this situation. And yes, it’s cheating.

    Is SHE willing to accept this situation as a functioning and fulfilling marriage? I wouldn't.

    Your profile says you separated from your husband. If your ex husband is the same jerk in your hypothetical post, good for you! There's definitely emotional cheating going on, if not physical as well.
