Misdemeanor: Hurts nobody but the person cheating. 2nd degree: Hurts other people but only mildy, as in upsetting their feelings, and nothing crimminal like cheating them out of money or any other scam. 1st degree: You are a skunk and did something pretty egregious, like cheating on a spouse, cheating on income taxes, cheating on a college exam, or cheating someone out of money. All things criminal would belong in this category, some having worse consequences in my mind anyhow. Bottom line for me on this is, I think cheating is cheating. The "degree" assigned to it has to do with one's own personal value system, whether they were ever cheated, (or cheated on) and many other things. But I think it is defeating, hurtful, and a very bad character trait or behavior. One way or the other, the person will get what they deserve. I believe in the Karmic laws.

Any offense would be over the line.

Okay, I asked this question because there are so many questions on AB about 'Is this cheating ?' , everything from flirting to outright 'in flagrante delicto.' I just thought we could come up with a scale of some sort so if someone asks, as they inevitably will, we can rate the said behaviour as 'emotional cheating in the first degree with physical cheating in the third degree' or something along those lines. I didn't mean to suggest that cheating is ever an acceptable thing to do, but, as with criminal behaviour, we could maybe come up with a range of 'negative' levels.

I would go into any degree I would never cross the line or think about cheating.

first degree: doing anything you can't discuss with your partner second degree: wanting to do something, and not discussing it with your partner misdemeanor: honestly didn't know your partner would be hurt by your actions re: second degree -- when people want to do something but don't because of some kind of rules they've set up with their partner -- their attitude can change and they can suddenly feel stuck in their relationship. Meanwhile their partner doesn't know what's going on, because you're not talking about it. If your hot for somebody at work -- you should talk about it with your partner, that way your partner will know why you suddenly seem less present.

I guess harmless flirting could be over looked. Then it gets real if you are intentionaly flirting ya know the touchy feely stuff you are looking for a fight later. Asking someone to dance or join you at your table or buying someone else a drink your looking to sleep on the couch. And anything else kissing hugging and ******* talking on the phone or internet you mught as well pack your bags cause it is over!!!

don't cheat at all, it's not worth hurting the person you are cheating on! why destroy someone's life for abit of fun! there is no level if it's cheating! obviously you haven't been hurt by someone cheating to ask this question!

When it comes to cheating, any degree of it is no good.
