Cheating is anything that, if the situation were switched, you would be upset over. I would be much more upset if my boyfriend had a very close emotional bond with another woman. I was actually getting very jealous of this girl friend he has been friends with for over a decade. I knew that they weren't sleeping together and never even thought about that. But what actually hurt was their little inside jokes and all this stuff they knew about each other, no matter how harmless. Yet, I have been cheated on and it was purely physical, and that didn't hurt as bad.

I guess it's easier to write a guy off as a dog when he just physically cheats but to know he actually really truly cares for another woman on an intimate level....that's pretty tough.
