At what point is it considered cheating?

Question

So a friend and I were having a discussion about cheating and we couldn't fully agree on what is the definition of a cheater. Obviously intercourse is cheating but what else would you consider cheating? Exchanging numbers without the intent to actually call? Is it the messages that flow back and forth between two individuals without their significant other knowing? Is having wandering eyes considered cheating? Compliments or being flirtatious? Comment below with your opinion.

Answer

If you have to hide it from your significant other

Answer

I think it's anything the person feels the need of hiding.

Answer

Personally, if I do something that I wouldn't want my partner doing with someone else is considered cheating, emotionally or sexually.

Answer

Flirting, or anything you wouldn't want your partner to do

Answer

When you do something your partner wouldn't agree with with another person.

Answer

All kinds of flirting or romance shown between two sexes

Answer

I think each person has a different perspective on what cheating is. I don't think exchanging phone numbers with the opposite sex is cheating. Sending text messages behind your SO's back is suspect but doesn't exactly equate to cheating. Kissing someone else is borderline. I consider kissing a gray area ( and I'm talking like one or two kisses ). Making out crosses the line for sure, so of course everything past that is definitely cheating. I'm naturally flirtatious so I might flirt with someone other than my fiancé but I mean it in purely a friendly way.
