Short survey for college research paper. ANYONE INTERESTED?
How do you define cheating? - Any interest that is beyond friendship. This is includes anything physical (kissing and beyond) as well as emotional. If my partner feels the need to hide the relationship (no matter how innocent) I would be suspicious. If he's seeking out people online to have relationships with I would assume he's missing something in our relationship is and seeking it out in others. I'd probably consider this cheating. Emotional cheating is worse than physical.
