Are you and your significant other on the same page when it comes to what constitutes cheating? Many couples think they’re in agreement about what’s out of bounds, but they may be confused. So, what does and doesn’t count as cheating?
Getting Carried Away At The Club
Does a drunken slip-up point to a bigger problem? Or should you just label it “inappropriate” and let it go?
Mixing And Mingling When You’re On A Break
People have been debating this one since Friends. Is a break for working things out? Or is it for stepping out without consequences?
What If You Haven’t Slept Together…
But you have had late night convos and long text messaging sessions?

My guy friends brought this one up. If a woman makes out with another man, it’s cheating. Kiss another girl? It’s a gray area. Do you agree?
If It Was Just Sex
Some folks say it’s not an affair unless you have sex. But others say if it was just sex, it’s not technically an affair. Where do you stand?
Reaching Out To An Ex
When it comes to exes, Facebook is the devil. If you’re in a relationship but friend and message an ex, is it cool? Or is it playing with fire?
Pornography
Couples disagree on this one all of the time. Is it cheating or recreation? Is it inappropriate? How much adult film consumption is too much? Depends on who you ask.
Going To The Strip Club
Does it matter whether or not he received a private dance? What if it’s his bachelor party?
Having A Tinder Account
Is it OK to just look to see what (and who) is out there? Or is this a red flag?
He Said, She Said
If you hear about him cheating — more than once — do you let it go? Or do you assume that where there’s smoke there’s fire?
