I can't believe that anyone that is sain would feel that making more than eye contact with someone from the opposite sex would be considered cheating-that's obsurd.
But whenever you give someone else what you should be giving your spouse, that's wrong

. Call it what you like.
And that's why I think emotional relationships with someone else in a way that is disrespectful to your relationship, emailing/texting anything inappropriate that is disrespectful to your relationship, showing/sending anyone other than your s/o nude photos of yourself, making out/having sex with anyone other than your s/o, etc. all falls into "cheating".
It's one thing if you have an open relationship

-but if this is a "monogamous" relationship
(The practice or condition of having a single sexual partner during a period of time.
The practice or condition of being married to only one person at a time.
The practice of marrying only once in a lifetime.)
, then there should be no confusion

as to what should and should not take place.
From what the original post suggested, the "cyberspace" activities were not allowed...hense, it's a no-brainer. Plus, as for my comments, I did state what I expected in my own marriage, but also gave a general heartfelt suggestion of forgiveness, rememberence, and therapy. Draconis, where did I go wrong with that?
