What Constitutes Cheating?

I think this is a way to broad defination (maybe not the sprit but as writen) - if you run a red light that would be cheating - hey honey I plan to run this red light in the future? I am be rude to one of your friends etc etc. Obviously cheating is a fair more narrow than what your parnter disapproves of. For example, some may disapprove of thinking anyone is attractive but them , the list goes on and on...
[SIZE=+2]The betrayal of a loved one's trust when it has been mutually agreed upon that neither partner will be physically or emotionally intimate with someone else.
[/SIZE]Cheating is anything that your S.O. would say is cheating. For some that is a platonic date with the opposite sex while for others the don't care what you do. If you're really in relationship you should just know what your partner can accept.
Here ends the part of my post everyone will agree with.
I cheat constantly and consider cheating normal human behavior. If I ever caught her cheating I would move out or she would. I would not accept that. This is also normal human behavior.
Sex, mate selection, is not fair, cannot be made fair, and in this area we are all either hipocrits or lying.

Nope. Sorry.
Cheating is part of life unfortunately, but it is not normal or justified. Those who say it is are either bitter or are trying to justify their actions, which are wrong
WE WERE ON A BREAK ! ! ! 
The OP ask what constitutes cheating to us, not to our partners.
To me, if you do something you don't want your partner to know about with someone else, it's cheating.
But different people have different views of what is cheating , so whoever has the stricter rules on cheating will always be the one who decides what is or isn't cheating, it only takes one person to end a relationship.

Why would you have a platonic date with a member of the opposite sex? Why not date your SO?
By your own admission, you are a classless hypocrite, and it doesn't appear to phase you at all.
You seem to paint everyone with the same brush, but there are many single, divorced, and widowed gents that partake in the hobby.
I disagree. Nothing is more normal. Those who don't cheat are denying their own humanity and living inferior lives.
As for justified--what ethical theory would you bring to bear here? Mate selection, sex, is not fair, and cannot be made fair.
For the conversation? Some partners would be fine with that. Others would consider that emotional cheating. All I'm pointing out here is that to different people the definition of cheating is different. People have different comfort levels.
Nope, I don't admit that. Your opinion is a product of your inferior system of ethics, which fails to comprehend properly the issues around sex, sexual jealousy, and mate selection. That's your problem, not mine.
Good for them.
Ethics! You cheat on your wife at every opportunity you have, and if you caught her cheating, you or she would have to leave. You're ethically and morally bankrupt. In order for you to cheat, you must lie to your SO, GF, etc. You've made it clear that you operate on a double standard and that deception and spitefulness is a superior way of thinking. Are you a politician?
Exactly. There is no objective list of actions that constitutes cheating. If you have to do something in secret, whether its a coffee and a kiss or extreme anal sex, its cheating.
On the other hand, I consider my SO cheating on me if she does something that I wouldn't do, thus it wouldn't bother me if she was caught with some other guy, or else I'd be a hypocrite or worse, a fuji disciple.
