Many times I have been involved with people who say this is definitely cheating and this is definitely not.. and usually it's after I have caught them cheating... So I pose this question to all the women and guys out there, What do you consider cheating and what is your reasoning for considering it cheating? I'll start it out as saying that I feel cheating is being intimate with another person when your in a relationship.

I've always thought of cheating as being physical. Kissing ect..ect... But I know I would also be hurt to find out my man was getting close to another female emotionally as well.
I would have to say if your in a relationship any type of physical contact (kissing or more) would be concidered cheating.

Frankly, i do think that this question is very vague...
I mean actually it really depends on one's beliefs and thinkings and his or her's perspectives of life...
For instance, like me...
I dun take a lot of things for reason and if he or she did something against it, i will take it as cheating...
For me, the very obvious is thinking and delibrate cheating... Secondly, flirting.. Thirdly, leading on other people... N also, i can't take guys who's attached treating other girls as if they were his gfs as well...
I mean, come one...
I really cant stand dishonest acts like cheating... N two-timing...
Yucks...

thank you for your response the reason it was a little vaugue is to get a broader range of answers with an explanation why. I see what your saying, ny thought process is if your going to cheat just lose the relationship it's more respectible not to cheat.. Because if you're not happy the other party might not be happy . communication is key and when you get to the point in a relationship that it's not working out then one has to say I think it's over before you cheat on the other person. I am very honest I would never cheat on anyone because I know what it feels like to have someone to do that to you so that is why I always say it's time to go when you start thinking about it.
