IMHO - anything. Kiss, sex, email, phone calls - its all cheating. Even if there is nothing physical, an emotional attachment to another person is cheating in my book.

I absolutely agree....it's the emotional more than the physical. It's the deciet that goes along with it as well. When you do all of those things you're taking what should be investing into your current relationsip and putting it somewhere else.

I agree 100%!!!!

LOL I agree to. Once it goes beyond the 'friend' mark its cheating.

I'm not sure what you mean by talking on emails. My FH has female friends and even talks to some of his ex-girlfriends and I'm really good friends with one of my ex-boyfriends. If I talk to him on IM, email, or phone, I wouldn't consider that cheating. I guess it's really just your comfort level and obviously the intent of the emails, phone convos, etc.

It seems to me that you and your FH are completely open about the fact that you have friends (even X's) that you keep in contact with. I don't see anything wrong with that. When I say e-mails (IMs included)... I mean anything that is kept secret... anything that is done behind the back. If someone is maintaining a 'friendship' with someone and hiding it from their significant other there has to be a reason why it is being hidden... maybe it is not as innocent as just friendship.

I do not consider keeping in touch with friends of the opposite sex (even Xs) cheating if you are open about it. If you are hiding it then there is something more to it.

Everything in my opinion that involves you not being the main thought in his head(either of them )Touching in anyway is not the only way to cheat.JMO
