That would depend on the content of the email. If it's work or friend or hobby related (and that hobby isn't sex) I probably wouldn't stress too much. If it was remotely sexual then yes I would have a problem with my partner doing that.

It's not cheating if it's just innocent exchange of emails...but it is opening doors that may lead to cheating. If it's not necessary to email "the opposite sex" then I wouldn't. Your effort and time should be put into your marriage and your relationship with your spouse.
Also, if it bothers your spouse or it's something that you keep a secret from them...then that is cheating. You should not be doing anything that you hide or lie to your spouse about.

Logic dictates certain errors of thinking.
"Appeal to the Majority"
Which means just because a large group says something is right does NOT make it right.
Example: The Nazi Party during WWII
"Cheating" is a vague term and does not have a clear direct definition. What one person thinks as cheating many not match that of another person. To rely on other people to tell you what is cheating or not is "an appeal to the majority".
EXAMPLE:
Is it cheating if a married man sends a sexual email to what he thinks is a woman, but in fact is another man?
Is flirting cheating?
As in all decisions of right and wrong its up to you to decide, however if you have to justify your actions then I would say you have already judged it as wrong.

If it is nonsexual and nonromantic maybe, but you are still playing with fire. If you are confiding in the person about your personal problems, it is wrong, as your spouse should be your confidante. There is no way to predict if emailing will lead to you developing inappropriate feelings for this person, hence it is probably not a good idea.

Yes, it is cheating, unless your spouse knows it and is okay with it and it is strictly platonic type emails. I, personally, wouldn't be okay with it and my husband wouldn't be okay with it either, but people are different. Be honest with your wife and see what she thinks about it, give her the chance to decide whether she wants to be okay with it or leave you for having an email relationship with another woman. That should be her choice. BE A MAN!!

Depends what kind of email it is! If you are exchanging pictures, talking about sex, or anything like that, YES.

It all depends on what the emails say. If you would let your spouse or significant other read them, then it's probably not. If you are hiding something...then you must have something to hide. That is pretty damn close.

Depends what the emails are saying.....
If ya'll are talkin about the Spurs game last night, then ok....
If ya'll are having sexually explicit conversations then, yes it is a form of cheating...

if the emails are something you would show your mother than no, its harmless, but if they're dirty email definitly. but only you and your spouse can decide what you all say is cheating.

A little bit. I don't care because of my personal situation however.
