Is this cheating?

When I was 17 weeks pregnant I found my partner on a dating app. I found this a few hours after he joined. (So I don't truly know how far it would have gone) With the girls he matched with. He isn't supportive of my mental health and this came up the other day because of something and he said it wasn't cheating, he was addicted and was't getting validation from me. Would you consider this cheating? Is it my fault?

If it’s not cheating then what were his intentions being on the app? Some people seem to think as long as things aren’t physical it’s not cheating, when it’s mental and emotional cheating. He may have not physically cheated, yet. Who says he didn’t have the intention? The opportunity just hadn’t presented itself yet.

If you feel it's cheating. It's cheating. I personally believe talking up other girls, liking photos of half naked women, creating dating profiles, supporting others above you is all cheating or at the very least leaving the door open for options. If you agreed to a monogamous relationship this is showing disrespect for that relationship and contemplating leaving if not the decision to leave that monogamous relationship.

Personally if I’d have seen my partner on a dating app anytime not just while I’m Growing our child then I’d consider it cheating, it’s a dating app for a reason, it’s to find people to either date, or hook up with, not make friends.. especially Predominantly with women of a certain type…..

Not saying anything nefarious about you (I obviously have no idea who you are), but just out of curiosity, how is it that you happened to find your partner on a dating app? Did someone point it out to you, or were you on there yourself? If you were both on this dating app, I might venture to guess that maybe this isn’t a fulfilling relationship for either of you and it might be time to consider parting ways…….

If he wasn't cheating, he had the intention to. And it's not your fault that he's a lousy guy.

That's full on gaslighting to say it's your fault because you weren't satisfying him when he's the ones who did something shady. Also, if that's his reason then he absolutely has intentions of trying to cheat or what was the point in joining. Just because you found out before he could doesn't mean anything. In fact, the mere fact he isn't even sorry and is blaming you for his actions pretty much guarantees it's only a matter of time he will do it again if he hasn't already.

@Alissa we went to play the chase game on his phone. I then saw the logo for the app hinge. That's when I questioned him and asked to take a look

i’ve had the whole “it’s your fault because i wasn’t getting the validation from you that i needed” bullshit, and trust me, it IS cheating. he had the intention to cheat just by downloading the app, you just managed to catch him before he did anything physical. downloading an app, adding people, and having those thoughts is 1000% cheating. he knew it was wrong or he wouldn’t have hid it from you. and it is in NO way, your fault. even if you weren’t carrying HIS child, it would not have been your fault. leave his sorry ass.
