Cheating means different things to different people. To me personally there are many forms of cheating. Kissing is cheating unless, its an innocent kiss on the cheek to a freind or something you havent seen in a while.
Obviously having relations i consider cheating. I dont think xxx movies are cheating. Hugging isnt cheating...but there's a difference between a hug...and hug if that makes sense.
I also feel like people can cheat emotionally. If they are spending lots of time with someone....and feelings develop i think even if nothing is done about it...it is a form of cheating. Especially when talking to this person is being hidden.
WHat do you consider cheating?

Honestly I find your discussion somewhat vague. For me cheating is something done sneakingly w/o the knowledge of a partner or anyone involved. It's like betrayal. So if a mere kiss or hug is done, then where is cheating there? I guess you have to present your thought clearly on this.

I am a lot like you, kissing is definitely cheating unless it's on the cheek like you said. Hugging definitely not, unless its one of those lingering feeling induced hug. There is a difference between hugging someone you love and someone you are just friends with. I also think that when you spend time with someone expressing feelings and emotions that you wouldn't express to your lover, that is cheating.

I think I agree with all your points. Anything beyond being friendly is cheating. When we are in one relationship, we can be friendly with others, but giving too much attention to someone else is cheating.

I think uou have to take care about not confusing 'cheating' on one pertsons (a partners) part and jealousy on your own part.
Humans are gregarious it is in our nature so that means we are drawn to make linke, bonds, friendships. I see no problem with friendships - but there is always a line between poeple that to stray beyond would mean that a change in the relationship had occurred.
Constant 'fear of cheating' is bad for you and and for a relationship and if a partner constantly feels suspected it can even go some way to creating the very problems you most fear.
