Flirting? Having an emotional bond? Kissing? Talking? Sex...?

There are lots of different ideas of what cheating is. Some people think that flirting with someone else is cheating, while others think that as long as their partner isn’t sleep- ing with anyone else, it’s all good. When you’re getting into a serious relationship, talk to your partner about what they think cheating is, and find a definition that you are both comfortable with to prevent any misunderstanding. Trust me, you’ll avoid a lot of hurt feelings.
