What do you consider cheating? how far is to far? What is just "playing around". Do words count as cheating even as simple as "i like you?'
thoughts?

Play it safe and decide not to do anything that you wouldn't want your bf/gf/spouse to know about.

Words for sure count as cheating. Saying I love you to another woman or something along those lines would be more than enough to be determined as cheating. I am okay with my man looking to an extent (looking as in PlayBoy or if he notes a good looking female) but that is all to me. Touching would be disastorous for us, and even thinking he'd want to get with her could be hurtful. Thinking he'd want to see her naked would be annoying but I suppose I wouldn't count it as cheating.

Same as Pizza Man but also if you would have a problem with them doing what you are about to do with another person.

If you have to ask then its cheating..

Doing anything that you would not do in front of your significant other. Doing anything you would not approve of being done to you by your significant other. If a casual drive-by flirt happens..(someone winks at you or pays you a compliment in which you can tell they are attracted to you..etc) that is not cheating. Encouraging that flirt past the moment, is.

Cheating is as much of the mind as it is of the body. As Jimmy Carter spoke about his lustful mind, he knew from his religious learning that allowing himself to think lustful thoughts was on a par with carnal sins. "Just Playing Around" goes too far when it turns into sex play. There's also the dimension of commitment, when it doesn't exist or isn't legitimate, no cheating can occur. That's like an ice cream truck giving out a speeding ticket - the driver has no authority. So, when a person commits an act that another declares to be "cheating", what authority exists to make that declaration? Rather than cheating, it could be a simple act of possessiveness that exists in the mind of only one person. In a committed relationship, such as a marriage, it is simple to declare cheating, but in less formal arrangements it approaches a grey area. Usually, it happens because one partner wants something from an outside party that the other isn't giving them in the relationship, and when the playing around approaches that commodity, we're talking about cheating.

If you both have agreed to an exclusive relationship, then all of the above is cheating and more. You're free to like, admire and value other people but that doesn't mean you pursue physicality or behave toward that person as you would your lover.

There are different levels of cheating- but if it's a physical touch in any way that is sexual in nature- that's cheating to me (Ie, making out, groping, anything of that nature)- and of course anything 'worse' than that. Also I believe in emotional affairs- if you wished you could be in a relationship with someone else, and you act as if you are- saying 'I love you', 'I can't wait to be with you', anything that might make you think twice about saying in front of your spouse/gf/bf.
