Eh, I would get annoyed but considering it cheating? Probably not. I don't typically sext people anyway. If they did, and if they actually acted on it, we might have a problem then. But sexting alone isn't enough to be considered a form of infidelity, at least for me. But that applies to my relationships, I'm sure everyone else has their own set of standards and rules that may state otherwise. It just depends on who it is.

It is cheating... Not as bad as committing a real sexual act with someone, but cheating nonetheless.

I would because what are you looking for from sexting? Nothing that a friend should be giving.

Yup cheating.

I think it depends. If he knows about it and knows there's nothing more going on than text, I don't think it's that big of a deal, but it depends on the circumstances.

I would consider it cheating.

Without a doubt.

I think that this depends on the couples ground rules. I would be mad about it, but as long as he was not touching most likely would not care and allow it to continue and if he was touching then I best be involved otherwise that is terrible.

I think it would be hot to sext with another couple or do some Camming with another couple, but I have never mentioned this he would not want to do it. He would if it were two girls, but a guy is a deal breaker.

If it is something you have previously agreed is ok, then it's fine. If not, it's cheating.

i would definitely consider it cheating

Yes, yes, and a thousand times yes. Any betrayal to a non-open relationship, emotional or otherwise, is cheating.

I think any activity that you would HIDE from your partner is considered cheating. That being said, I personally don't feel like sexting is cheating. I wouldn't bother me to find out my man was doing this. However, I KNOW he doesn't want ME doing it, so in that case if I did it, it would be considered cheating. As big an offense as ACTUALLY physically cheating? No, but that distinction is made by my man's feelings. Every situation is different, but as a rule of thumb I just say : Would I say or do this if my man was standing right next to me? If not, if I would hide it, then it's dishonest. Period.

That being said, I DO "sext" every now and then. I know my man doesn't like it, so I don't tell him about it. He knows I do this every now and then, as we have discussed it. He doesn't like it, but as long as I am not rubbing his face in it, it is sort of "don't ask, don't tell". Our relationship is very different from others though. I wouldn't recommend any one doing something their partner doesn't agree with, and I am in no way saying that what I do is right. I'm just being honest about it.

It's definitely emotional cheating, without the risk of an STD, pregnancy, or even known identities.

Oh heck yea.

Definitely! Emotional cheating is a HUGE issue for me, and it's really frustrating when people thing that the only way to cheat is having sex outside a relationship. In relationships where this is clearly permitted, of course, it wouldn't apply, but I wouldn't be okay with my partner sexting other people.

It's not cheating per say...but it may lead to cheating. I think it's just like flirting, if you don't take it too far it's not a big deal (though I'd rather not know about it if my partner were doing it)
