In my opinion, it becomes cheating when you start doing things like hugging and hanging out for the wrong reasons. You no longer think in terms of friendship but in 'something more.'

I agree. When it goes beyond platonic, and it is no longer just in fun. That, right there, is a very fine line. I'm hoping I have good balance, at the moment.

How can it possibly be cheating if you "mentally" feel something for another person. Anyone who says that IS a cheater, or a liar, because I don't believe for one second that they have not experienced the urges and feelings that they are condemning as cheating. It's natural to feel attracted to other people, even if they are not your spouse, or your boyfriend, or girlfriend. Cheating is something in which both people in a relationship must share a common definition. For some people, a kiss might be considered cheating, while for others it's not. I know people who only consider 'sex' cheating, and that's fine, because it works for them. And who said a "hug" was cheating? Get outta here. Are you kidding me? A HUG? What about a handshake, or a high five, or...my god...a thumb war. NOOOOOOO!!!

Well I think when a person starts mentally wanting anyone else, that is when it becomes cheating

It's cheating when you start feeling emotional love and start acting on it with someone else, it's also cheating when you frivilously act very sexually and start to act on it with anonymous different people.

idk i think if you have a crush on someone else when you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, it's not really a big deal as long as it doesn't turn into something more. or like you think about them more then you think about the person you're with. then thats a problem..

Whenever you have to hide what you do, think, say. etc.
