I am getting married in a few months and just found out my fiance was 'flirting' with one of his classmates (for over a month). I am pretty sure nothing physical was done yet, but from the intensity I could sense something is going on -- they would even arrange to meet at school when they don't have class together "for school work" ..... when I confronted him, he said I was over jealous about it....

I read some of the articles on this site about meeting emotional needs and initiated the conversation about if some of his emotional needs couldn't be met at home, and it caused him to 'share' with outside source? He again denied it. I need help !!! Was he cheating?

I would say if a fiance/spouse is spending one on one time with the opposite sex has a big RED FLAG attached. When we put ourselves in this position, it's like playing with fire and eventually you will be heated up. Affairs don't have to be physical, they can be just as damaging as an emotional affair begins. At my church we were studing the ten commandments and one sunday it was on adultery. Here's some info for you.

14 SMALL STEPS DOWN THE PATH CALLED "ADULTERY"
1. Sharing Common Interests
2. Mentally comparing with my mate
3. Meeting emotional needs
4. Looking forward to being together
5. Tinges of Dishonesty with my mate
6. Flirting and Teasing
7. Talking About Personal Matters
8. Special Notes or gifts
9. Inventing Excuses to call or meet
10 Arranging Secret meetings
11. Deceit and cover Ups
12. Kissing and Embracing
13. Petting and High Indiscration
14. Sexual Intercours

Hope this will clear things up for you.

Thank you, "Truely Blessed".

My fiance claimed he was just doing 'school work' with his classmates and helping. One weekend he told me he was meeting a group of classmates at school, but he was meeting only that girl. He later on explained because I tended to get 'over jealous', he didn't tell me the truth. He also admitted that he told that girl that I am very jealous. He would ride her to her car because 'the parking lot is dark'..... I explained to him that I don't believe he was intentionally hurting me, but getting close with other female could cause potential problem.... He then brought up this whole 'trust' issue and saying "I don't want to live my life under suspicion all my life, you have to trust me". But he still denied that he was emotionally bonding with that girl........
