Is sexting really cheating?

Jessica

I was just kinda curious to know everyone’s opinion on sexting. If you are in a committed relationship, and your partner is sexting other girls, would you consider that cheating? I do and when I caught my boyfriend ( now ex ) sexting with other girls, he got mad at me for being hurt and said I had no right to feel that way cause yeah he might be sending pics of his dick to them and saying he wants to fuck them but he isn’t physically fucking them so it doesn’t count as cheating. I’m heart broken but happy at the same time. I just lost 290 pounds getting rid of his ass.
