If they can put in the effort and have the determination to settle down with that special someone then sure. Most players/cheaters can do this, others are just fixated in their own realities of having more than one girlfriend/boyfriend. It all just depends I guess; but, I think that if they strived to be with just one person and not stray from their relationship, then yes I think they can.

flirting or cheating one or the other depending on motive

Not a good idea.  It is possible to cheat on someone without physical activity between you.  How would you feel if your husband/wife was chatting away on the phone with someone and getting all excited about it?  Put a stop to it right away.

I think cheating is when you sneak to do anything behind someones back that you wouldn't do to their face. I also think a deception about what you want or who you are when you're getting into a relationship is the biggest and worst cheat you can do to someone else. When they find the lie, that's the biggest hurt, being fooled that something is as it truly is not.

I would definitely not cheat on my boyfriend. I would try to figure out who is the best one for me.

My personal opinion, is that if you are doing something of a sexual nature with someone who is NOT your partner, it is cheating unless you have the partner's consent.\n\nOtherwise, it is a betrayal. You wouldn't be getting "caught" if it weren't wrong for your situation. You wouldn't be hiding out if it were ok.

He had an "emotional" connection with this person, so...by definition, he already cheated, hence a "real affair".  Sometimes it is worse than when it is just for physical gratification, with no emotion attached.  Don't know if he would have a physical relationship with someone other than his wife...some men prefer to not go beyond the cyber thing, as that is what their turn on is, so it's just a matter of who and how he is, and how sound the marriage is.

As long as he is doing it alone, and not actually meeting with this other person then how can it be cheating?\n\nIs having a fantasy cheating?  No.

I doubt it! Some people will cheat no matter what you do, other will if given a reason. Dont give your partner a reason!

Come on, cheating is cheating! You know, that thing you do that goes against the rules. For example,  if your girl says, "You can't kiss other girls, D." Then you gotta respect that, otherwise, it's cheating. Why do people cheat? Sheer laziness(when it comes to tests),boredom(when it comes to relationships), and a God-complex(when it comes to games)

Cheating is unfaithfulness in any way.  Emotionally, physically.  You can cheat on the internet and never meet the person.  It's still cheating.

Cheating is not the sexual act.... It is the lies, deception, the lack of disrespect that your partner has for you by going behind your back.\n\nA kiss, no matter how passionate or dispassionate it is is cheating if your partner hides it from you, same with cyber sex, if your partner is going behind your back with it, you can't see who your partner is talking to, then it is cheating.\n\nVery little, if anything, is cheating if both of you are honest about what each of you desires, talk about what is happening (not the sexual specifics but what is going on with the people,( etc. ) you are inovolved with or flirting with., and agree to... \n\nSo, your answer is a moving target governed by trust and honesty. The less honesty that exists the more activities would be considered cheating.
