Just my two cents.....

I have read through all of the postings so far. To most I would have to agree, some I have to disagree.

How many of the people out there remember when people used to call a guys job his mistress. Why? Because it took time away from the people that he said he loved. Devoted his time to something other than his family and it would cause problems.

If you are doing something behind someone back, to me that whole constitutes cheating. I used to have alot of friends that would say....."My S/O wouldn't mind". But they never told them to allow them to make their own decision.

You can't say that just because nothing physical happening. To many people have been totally dependant on their online fling. They tell people that they are thinking of them when they are with their S/O in bed, envisioning them doing all of the normal things together even. In some areas that is worse than going out for a one night stand that you will never see again. Because you are giving that person yourself, not just having something happen then nothing ever again. If you are going online every single day to see how the person is doing and cyber with them. Yes I would say that is cheating in a sense.

Like I said, just my 2 cents. And to quote one of the other postings. If you don't think it is cheating, tell your S/O, let them make up their own mind of what they think it is.
