I don't believe in cheating. Off course I look on it from a man's perspective. If I truly love a woman, then that's it. Occasional flirting and one-night stands are just to release sexual tensions which can't be always released with the help of a partner.

Are you asking about physical or emotional cheating?

If your partner would be signifigantly upset if (s)he knew it happened, it's cheating. It's different with every couple.

I'd say physical contact. That's when the line between the love of a good friend and the love of something more is crossed.
However, it could be cheating far before that in the mental scope. Your thoughts and desires can be cheating too.
Of course, it's all based on intent. If you say, hug a member of the opposite sex, but there's nothing behind it, it's not cheating

Hmm, good question. Whichever comes first in your opinion, according to the order of the poll options (or whatever you specify in the thread).
I guess, for me, it'd be more an emotional betrayal first, usually due to physical actions, but not always -- hence the reason for starting this thread. I want to know if I should be pissed or not at my present partner.

Kissing is going too far.
Bottom line, if you sleep with someone else then your cheating.
I'd say though that a numerous amount of behaviours can lead to going all the way to the bedroom, so it's probably best to say that some behaviours whilst not exactly cheating are clearly unacceptable, I mean flirting occasionally with random women, probably not too bad, constantly flirting with the same woman every time you meet, uh oh.

This is our current argument.

If you feel like you should... then you should. Don't ask a bunch of nuts on the internet if what your girl did was wrong, you need to figure that out for yourself. Nobody else knows if it bothered you.
I know, I think personally cheating is bedroom antics, before then it isn't but that doesn't mean it's right to behave in that manner, it's very much about an event and subjective as to whether you think it's crossed the line.

It depends, if it is in the cheek, it is OK, if is a tongue kiss, then it is cheating.

It's not about what specific action, it's about betrayal of trust and breaching what is expected. There are no rules that work for all relationships.
I agree with you all, and I consider my situation with her cheating. I just want to know if I am more strict in my stance than most people.
It's never a bad option to stop and compare yourself to others, and hear their views. That's part of maturing, being open minded and reconsidering things in time.

i think it's when a guy's woo-hoo is in the girl's wadanky-dank.
I agree, because one person can be liberal or not in those type of things.
In my opinion, if (s)he needed it, and if is not to hurt you and if (s)he loves you still, and forever, I think is no cheating.
