I was with some people tonight and I’ve noticed a lot of people have different definitions of what they would consider cheating from their partner. Some would consider flirting cheating, others wouldn’t. Some would consider dancing cheating, others wouldn’t. Some would consider affectionate touching and rubbing cheating, others wouldn’t, some would consider kissing cheating, others wouldn’t.
I think when most people think “cheating” they think penetration/oral. Is that also your definition of cheating? Unfortunately, most people don’t talk about this at the beginning of their relationship.
Also, would you leave your partner if they did acts with another but didn’t get to penetration? Assume you’re married/in a long term relationship. And they’ve given you permission to do the same things they did as a way of apologizing, would you forgive?
You know your in the wrong/cheating when your doing something that you know damn well you wouldnt tell your spouse about. The worst kind of cheating is emotional cheating, its cheating on a deeper more intimate level with someone.
