Some people say kissing, others say flirting or sexting. But what is generally seen as cheating. For me its passionately kissing and beyond, but flirting is not. I flirt all the time, but its meaningless.

Whatever me and my partner define it to be - it's not something universal. Communication in relationships is key.

sex with another person, when you already have a relationship with someone else

Any attempt (reciprocated or otherwise) to engage in intimate/sexual activity with someone outside the bounds of the monogamous relationship.

I consider sexting, webchats, digital expressions of romantic/sexual intention as cheating, even if there's no physicality, because the intention is there.

Any physical/sexual contact, so kissing or beyond. And now with sexting I would count that too. If you're my boo but you're sending naked pics or sexual messages to some other girl you gotta go.

I'm super psycho about relationships... Any kind of funny talking to me is the seed of cheating...

Being in love with someone else and/or (just) sex.

When you have feelings for someone other than the one you're with

Giving your phone number to anyone else who asks or anything that goes beyond that tbh

.

I noticed that people take issue with a people who looks at adult content as cheating also. Even though its not an intent to have a relationship with the person in the video or image.

That's an issue that lots of people disagree on, but I'm pretty conservative about that too

Any physical contact (i.e. kissing) or insinuations that you want sex from someone other than your bf/gf/wife/husband or whoever your dating.

Basically what others are saying about the physical side.

But if my partner were to start getting EMOTIONALLY connected to someone else I would consider that cheating too.

I would personally be uncomfortable if a partner was even so much as flirting with someone else; I'd feel as though I'm unimportant and disposable to them. But I suppose it's different for everyone.
