Right, but that is the point I was trying to make. I don't think it is cheating either, but if your partner thinks it is cheating then it is. It works the same way the other way around, if you partner doesn't see anything wrong with it, then it isn't cheating. If you partner says it is ok for you to have sex with anyone you want to, then you aren't cheating on them by doing just that. It is agreed that that behavior is ok.

I hope that made sense...

Whatever you have agreed with you partner is what determines what is cheating and what isn't. I think all couples should discuss what they think is cheating and what isn't so there isn't any confusion on what is ok and what isn't. Communication is very important.

If you agreed not to do it, but still do, then yes, it's cheating.
My point was if you do it, say you do it, don't hide the fact that you do it, have not agreed not to do it, it's not cheating just because they don't like it. Then it's a disagreement.

Exactly.
