As professionals we are faced with networking with the opposite s*x on a daily basis. However I challenge all those of us that is married or dating to talk with our partners and find out what do they consider to be cheating. What are there limitations? It make just be a little kissing, flirting, internet chatting, lunch with a co-worker or client.
Make no mistake cheating should be defined as "any kind of personal relationships that makes your partner uncomfortable.
1) How am I to know?
When your significant partner tells you that they are uncomfortable with that relationship is when you know, or just common scence. You should know.
2) Now that you know!
It is very important that you communicate with your significant partner to find out ways to tone down that innappropriate relationship to a level that is less uncomfortable.

What is emotional cheating?
Though it may not seem like it, emotional infidelity is a betrayal of your partner - even though it’s not like a “real” affair with physical intimacy and intercourse.
Emotional infidelity doesn't necessarily break spoken vows, create unwanted pregnancies, or spread physical diseases. Emotional cheating can't always be spotted in traditional ways. But, emotional infidelity can be as devastating to a marriage or partnership as physical intimacy or unfaithfulness - if not more so.

http://psychology.suite101.com/article.cfm... Is It Cheating Without s*x?
Cheating without s*x? It’s a loaded question that I believe there is no right or wrong answer to because everyone is going to have their own opinion in the matter.
But, what leads me to this question in magazine articles. I’ve spent plenty of time in waiting rooms lately and I read several articles discussing “emotional affairs.” Emotional affairs have always confused me. I grew up being taught that an affair is when you lie down with another man or woman who is not your spouse. Any time I’ve been cheated on, it’s because he went and slept with another girl. Case closed. No one ever discussed emotional affairs.
Now an emotional affair is described as, “an affair that excludes physical intimacy but includes emotional intimacy. It may be called an affair of the heart.” I think we can all agree the physical intimacy (kissing, s*x, etc) is cheating/an affair (for my purposes, we are going to use cheating as our term). What about non-physical intimacy though? How and when does that count as cheating?

Although online relationships might seem harmless, they can be considered a form of cheating and may cause serious damage to real life relationships.
Cheating online through internet relationships:
The definition of cheating has always been debated. Some people argue that in order to cheat, a physical relationship
must occur. Others argue that emotional cheating can occur without a physical relationship. Now that Internet chat rooms and dating services
are so common, the definition of cheating is debated more than ever before. As the popularity of the Internet increases, people need to be aware of the effects of online cheating in Internet relationships.
The Internet allows people to be as anonymous as they want. Many people enjoy participating in chat rooms because they feel secure; in a chat room, people provide only as much information as they chose to. They can portray themselves in flattering ways and leave as soon as things start to get uncomfortable or boring. Internet relationships are usually thought of as casual and fun and do not carry the stress and responsibilities that “real” relationships often have.
Although it may seem harmless, Internet cheating can actually be very hurtful. If someone is spending a lot of time online and neglects their partner, then this will damage the relationship and can be considered cheating even if no physical contact is ever made. If it is discovered that pictures were exchanged and s*xual conversation were had, the cheating person’s partner will be especially hurt and may feel undesired. Internet relationships are often discovered accidentally through emails and saved pictures, so no one should think that they are likely to get away with an online relationship. In the end, Internet cheating is a slippery slope, and even people who never meant to cause any harm might end up having a full-blown affair and are likely to get caught.
