Re: what is classified as cheating?
Well ... you can certainly tell him that he has the mindset of a cheater. Lying, denial, minimizing, and blame-shifting are all classic behaviors.
It's simple. If you have an emotional investment in another person that you conceal from, and value over your existing partner - you're cheating.
Cheating is not the sum of a physical act, like intercourse. It is the sum of behaviors that a cheater uses to distance themselves from, and betray their partners.
Even simpler, you don't start a new relationship before ending the one that you are currently in.
