I thought it would be interesting to know what everyone considered cheating because everyone has a different opinion.
Part 2 of the question would be do you think there is emotionally cheating? If so what do you think it is?

Cheating is any form of an emotional or physical act that the other wouldn't approve of. Anything that allows you to be un-loyal, non-trust worthy and un-committed to your significant other. Texting, chatting or anything like that with someone that makes the other person feel insecure or bad about it, is cheating too. If you love someone you should be committed to them and not do this stuff. Cheating doesn't have to be jsut physical! Contrary to what I used to believe, going to strip clubs and porn is cheating. It takes away from the relationship you have with the other person that you're suppose to be committed to. You can't be fully committed to them if you're doing things they don't approve of. It is actually bringing other people into your relationship and is cheating.

NO , I did it once and I was the one that got hurt, lost a husband and a boyfriend. Please don't condemn me for it , it was a HUGE mistake that I regret to this day and would never do it again. It is not worth it believe me. Luckily I found another and would not cheat even if the relationship was on the rocks. I would wait until there was a mutual end to a relationship before moving on to another. And now with all the HIV , I would think twice at my age about even considering another man if mine were to die or leave me.
As far as emotional cheating, I think we all have had an infatuation with someone and fantasize, there is nothing wrong with that, it is a good for emotional health, and not a sin as no one gets hurt.

Wow. Now that's an open-ended question. Cheating can be seen as a lot of things. For some...it's just your significant other talking to somebody of the opposite sex. Or even emailing somebody of the opposite sex. I consider cheating when my significant other emails an ex, or another female when there really is no purpose for it; talks to other females outside of work and not in my presence because if there's nothing to hide, talk to them in front of me. And obviously anything goes further than that such as: kissing another female, holding another female, etc.
And yes, there is such a thing as emotional cheating. It's the worst kind of cheating (other than the actual sex act) I think there can be.

Anything physical. I admit I have had my flirtatious moments with other guys while I was in a relationship. But as long as I don't act on them, I don't think its a problem. And I would think the same way about my boyfriend. I think its healthy to have friends of the opposite sex, and flirting is bound to happen. I know that I love my boyfriend, and would never do anything considered actual cheating. I think all the stupid 'he talked to a girl and im jealous and breaking up with him' is stupid.

Cheating is going behind your partner's back and participating in sexual activity or conversation with others.
Sex with someone else is cheating.
Cybersex with someone else is cheating.
Making out with someone else is cheating.
Passionately kissing someone else is cheating.
Sexual emails or text messages is cheating.
Being on online dating sites and claiming you are single I consider intent to cheat.
Porn is not cheating.
Sex phone lines is not cheating.
Stripper clubs (as long as you don't touch) is not cheating.
That'll give you an example of what I consider cheating. Some say it's anything you feel the need to hide from your partner, but I don't agree with that totally because porn often falls into that category if one's partner is an insecure person.

Cheating is the deception part of the sex with someone else. There are different kinds of cheating. Sex cheating is sex. There can be emotional cheating. That is the bad cheating when U give your heart to another while U are with your partner.
If anything, communicate and have that open relationship if you can handle it. Each partner is allowed partners. But you remain in love with each other.
It is a different world that swingers lifestyle.
Be WELL...REMEMBER TO WRAP IT UP...

If you feel guilty about it and/or the need to hide it from you SO and it is with another person (online or not) it's cheating.
If you would think your SO was cheating on you if they did it, it's cheating.
If it is building up a relationship/spending excessive time with another person to the detriment of you and your SOs relationship it's cheating.
I've read about people who are essentially cheating within online role playing games, to the point of throwing hissy fits, freaking out, and even physically attacking their spouse when they disconnect the internet.
Yes, I believe in emotional affairs, but they are harder to define. I believe they lead the way to physical infedility.

Anything you yourself would not want the other person doing. I don't mind the flirtty thing b/c that how my BF's personality is even though i get jealous sometimes we still go home together.And thats what matters at the end of the day.
I've never thought of part 2 but probably yes there could be emotional cheating when you think of having someone elses dick in you, but he doesn't know bout that unless you tell him(i've never done this but one my ex BFs did he actually told me, IDIOT).

Anything that you know your partner would not approve of I would consider as a form of cheating. Certainly there is such a thing as emotional infidelity and it not only includes being unfaithful emotionally but also can include being abusive with your emotions towards your partner.

alot have said that even flirting is cheating, have any of you considered that a close bond with someone can help one emotionally and that even though you are married you and your spouce may not always be side by side?
I think cheating is getting an intamite relationship that is not your spouce, and no i am not just talking about sex.
You can flirt with someone and not mean anything serious by it.... you cn kiss someone on the cheek or even lips and it be the same type of kiss you give your mother or nieces or even your own daughter.....
I kiss all my female friends on the cheek, lips or neck. My wife does not consider it cheating. it is just how i was brought up.
So your opinion on cheating usually is determined by your upbringing.
