Is kissing cheating?
Easy, right? Sure it is.
But…
Would you end a romance with the love of your life because they kissed another person?
What if they did more? Making out, hooking up, or even sex?
That’s the tough part. The person you love, that you were going to probably marry. What sort of cheating would be enough to make you want to throw it all away?
A viral video from Mexico has a lot of people talking about kissing, specifically what constitutes severe enough cheating to end a relationship.
Because where is that line? And who gets to draw it?
In this video, we’re not talking about a peck on the cheek. That’s probably pretty easy to forgive. We’re talking about full-on making out. (Admittedly, drunken making out, if that makes a difference to you.)
Does that change it for you? Does it fit the definition of cheating?
The story from Mexico is about a bachelorette party gone wrong. A bride-to-be and friends went out for one last wild night at a resort bar called the Lady Coralina. The bride got very drunk and made out with a stranger by the pool bar.
It’s not exactly an uncommon story…
Unfortunately for her, someone at the crowded bar filmed the make-out session and shared it on social media where it quickly went viral with the hashtag #LadyCoralina. (Part of the video’s illicit appeal is that the woman was clearly dressed as a bachelorette and the man she was kissing was very clearly not her groom.)
The video made it back to the bride and groom’s family and the wedding was called off.
(Here’s the video in question — the kissing starts around the 0:32 mark.)
It’s an embarrassing situation all around, but it does raise that BIG question — if you were set on marrying someone and you knew they cheated, would you end the engagement?
Obviously, cheating and infidelity can’t be ignored in a relationship. They speak to the level of trust and respect between the couple.
However, society clearly doesn’t regard kissing someone else as being in the same league as sleeping with something else. In fact, a 2014 poll found that 60 percent of men and 34 percent of women felt that kissing someone other than your romantic partner was a forgivable offense.
But what about other offenses?
And do all cheaters deserve to be dumped?
For me, there are a lot of factors that need to be considered and questions I’d need answered.
Let’s use the Lady Coralina incident as a case study. Because it’s not me, and presumably also not you. So we can think it through here and debate it without the complication of our own heartbreak or sense of betrayal clouding our judgement.
1. Was there malicious intent behind the act?
In this case, probably not. It’s not likely that she planning on breaking up with her fiance if their wedding was already scheduled.
You need to ask yourself whether your partner was trying to get revenge, had blatant disregard for your feelings, or trying to sabotage your relationship. Those are all pretty malicious. If so, that kissing spell isn’t just
cheating, it’s also a sign that relationship needs to end.
