re: What constitutes cheating?

I also believe there is such a thing as emotional cheating. You may not be physically intimate with a person but if you're spending time with them and investing emotionally in that "relationship" versus the relationship with your significant other than that's a big problem

Depends on the level of emotional connection. Wife and I both work and obviously spend a lot of time at work. I have a pretty close relationship with a female co-worker. There's no physical attraction for me, but I definitely have an emotional connection to her. Wife knows her and knows about our friendship and it doesn't bother her. Wife has had a few guy friends at work she was close to, even calling one her "work husband." I knew him and it didn't bother me. We both have trust in each other we wouldn't let it progress to anything physical.

You just gotta be open and honest. I've even told my wife I wasn't comfortable hanging out with a couple we know because I found the girl very attractive. She was pretty mad at first, but got over it and respected me more for telling her.
