But if we're not talking about defining adultery in a court of law, then I think my definition ("Anything she wouldn’t do if you were standing right there") is perfectly valid, for both physical and emotional cheating.
Agreed - this above is cheating but not necessarily physical.
For example, I wouldn't hold hands with a man who wasn't my husband. Even though holding hands isn't an explicitly sexual act, I know that it's physical contact that my husband would find unacceptable.
This above is also cheating - of a physical nature.
I think that is what the OP was getting at - this stupid discourse WSs engage in to try to make things seem "less" bad because no physical touch happened, which IMO is total and utter nonsense, especially after having lived though such mental gymnastics on part of my WH for a long time.
You are the only person you are guaranteed to spend the rest of your life with. Act accordingly.
