Since there are a lot of varying viewpoints on cheating here, I was curious as to what you define as cheating? Thinking of someone else during sex with your partner? Porn? Texting another person? A hug? Verbal? Kissing? Oral? Or just straight up sex considered cheating?
Please put if you are currently in a relationship, and male or female as well.
Any act is committed that makes your partner feel betrayed.
Each woman is different, and each offense will have different effects on them. While one may laugh at chatting, another may be greatly hurt by it. So in a sense it can be anything....kissing, hugging , oral sex, sex, holding hands, sexting, emails, webcams, whatever, the only important thing to know, is that any of those acts can lead to your partner getting hurt, so it's probably best not to engage in them.
Male in relationship
If you have to lie about a situation or hide texts/calls then your getting there. Anything that would make you feel like you don't matter in the relationship you shouldn't do to your partner.
I don't really view it as a black and white thing. I think it depends on the circumstances.
This.
The main circumstance it depends on is the understanding the two people in the relationship have about their relationship and the "rules," if any, that they have agreed upon.
Cheating to me is sexting, sending naked photos, phone sex, and of course sex.
The gray area is an emotional attachment to someone else of opposite sex. Having a friendship with the opposite sex, sure. But if it gets murky on what is shared, then yes.
Bottom line if your hiding, going behind their back, lying, it takes time from your partner, it is a form of cheating.
Porn, men are visual.
Whatever.
If there is a porn addiction, that's a whole other subject.
If he's doing something with another woman he doesn't want me to know about, he's cheating.
If it's strictly innocent and platonic, no need for sneaking. Either he's got a sexual relation going, or he full on dating her. And if not either of those yet, he's certainly heading in that direction.
Anything I would not say or do in front of my spouse.

Any type of intimacy with another person that you feel compelled to hide/wouldn't say or do in front of me.
I don't see porn viewing as cheating. I do see porn addiction that supplants intimacy within a relationship as a big problem, though not cheating. I do recognize that porn viewing does not = porn addiction. I don't give a rat's ass how much porn you watch, as long as it's not affecting having sex with me.
