Anything that would suggest that your partner would rather be with that person I think is cheating... A day out holding hands, kissing, sex, constant texting / calling etc. obviously all are not relationship ending, but would all be a cause for concern.
But then my husband had an affair, so maybe I am just overly suspicious.  |

"Does just kissing someone constitute cheating or does it have to involve penetrative sex?"
Will it hurt someone who loves you? Do you have a relationship in which kissing other people is acceptable? These are questions I would ask myself before puckering up. |

Depends does the other person know and have given permission. If not then some will argue it is cheating. My take on it if your swinging you should be allowed to kiss and not be classed as a cheat. |

In my book cheating doesn't even have to be a physical thing.
If you are doing something without your partners knowledge and consent, be it sending flirty texts and deleting them so you can't be found out, I would still class that as cheating.
Doing something you know would make them feel hurt and betrayed is cheating. |

Exactly this, put far more eloquently than me |

Any thing done behind someone's back is cheating. Even meeting for a drink if it's not for a reason. Like work...
Ask yourself this.....what would you be happy your partner do g that you don't know about ? |

If they kissed a friend who they'd got too close too, or kissed someone they'd become emotionally attached to, or someone they work with; that would be more of a betrayal to me than having sex with someone they didn't have feelings for. |

It's much easier to cheat than many realise.
The most hurtful things were the lies to me and shared confidences between them. The sex didn't bother me.

cheating is cheating just because you only " sucked his cock but didn't swallow, honest" wears thin after the 3rd time!  and "i was only kissing his bollocks" is out of order too? |

"Cheating is anything you'd have to hide from your partner. If you wouldn't do it with them standing right next to you, then it's cheating."
Completely agree with this comment. |

Yup, it's actually a spiritual 'event' in my book, the 'principle' of the betrayal is sometimes the biggest transgression. |

If you haven't reached an agreement that you'll be involved with another person in any way other than platonic interaction, then you could reasonably assume it's cheating if you do.
If you're fuck buddies only, not in a fuller relationship, then you're free to live as you wish.
Many of us have been cheated on, so it's wise to get yourself straight and maintain clear boundaries that wont hurt others. If you need the freedom to explore outside of a relationship then it's fair to agree it. Warning someone you may do something, whether directly or indirectly, isn't the same as agreeing it.
Reflect on the importance of the relationship and your partner, before you potentially cause harm to them as well as yourself. |

You should ask your partner and establish your boundaries. It would have been cheating to me when I was monogamous. |

Anything behind a partners back that has romantic or sexual motivation is cheating in our book.
