Having physical contact with another woman (kissing, touching, ect.) I also feel becoming emotionally connected or involved with the opposite sex leads to cheating...so while we are cordial to the opposite sex we both agreed sharing personal things is off limits.

This depends on the person and the relationship. Usually a women sees emotional affairs to be worse where a man considers a physical one. Because of this, it is hard for the two sexes to agree. I think cheating is anything you would not do or say in front of your significant other.

Going out with another woman. Holding hands , kissing= cheating. Talking to another woman about personal problems is cheating. All that shows emotional attachment which of course is cheating. Cheating is not just physical and sexual.

I've been with my fiance for 5 years and we are getting married in 2 weeks.... In my opinion, if you do something with someone else that you feel is inappropriate, its cheating. Even if its the way you think about someone. Just because you don't actually "do" anything with them doesn't mean its okay. There is an emotional connection there, which is very wrong if you are committed. Hopefully people who are in a relationship talk about that before they actually become "committed" so it doesn't backfire later.

Anything you did without the knowledge and consent or approval of your mate or spouse such as dating other girl/guy, chatting, exchanging of mutual affections through phone, text or emails to your opposite sex not your mate or spouse, hanging-outs with mixed friends, attending night bars for drinking, dancing, or kissing leading to your arousal for sexual desires in the absence of your spouse, having an extra-marital affair or emotional affairs attachment to your opposite sex without consent and approval of your mate or spouse are considered cheating.
In other words, when two persons (man & woman or the lesbians) did what married people suppose to do and the illicit affair was build up or not yet due to temptations or sexual desires attracted to each other without approval and consent of the married spouse.
If any of the above activities was done with approval and consent of your mate or spouse, it was not considered cheating.

More men and women cheat mentally... If you think about someone other than your mate in a sexual way (ex. how they would look naked ect...) then that is indeed a form of cheating. It does not have to necessarily be a physical thing.

cheating to me is any physical contact (sex, kissing) anyone but the partner you are with (bf/ husband/wife)
Talking to me is not cheating but being you and having a life. Still there is a fine line that is not to be crossed

i think anything you do not want your significant other to know about is cheating. my hubby had a "girlfriend" that he "just talked to". however, when that "talking" turns in to phone conversations at least 5 times a day, every day, for over 4 months, that is cheating.

Beyond the physical, the whore to which I was married had an e-affair, where she would would IM this dude and tell him how much she loved him and could not wait until they could be together. That, to me, was cheating.
