When is it considered cheating?

depends what the texts are saying. friendly texts then no its obviously not. but if it sounds like they are getting close then it would suggest that maybe he is. but cheating is not just sending a txt message, it is physically sleeping with someone.or kissing or whatever. I don't think its cheating if you are talking to one another.

There are 2 ways to cheat on someone. Physically cheating and Mentally cheating.

The physical cheating is obvious. You know: sex, swapping spit, groping, etc.

Cheating is not just a physical act. It is a state of mind. It is an acknowledgment of intent. Think about it. Would you consider phone sex or cyber-sex cheating?

To put it simply, if you really look inside yourself and can honestly say that the intent of your interaction with someone is truly friendly, then no, it is no more cheating then interacting with a good friend.

My simple rule is, you can do anything with anyone else that you would do in front of your significant other, AND you don't feel guilt about yourself.

It all depends on the content of the conversations. If they are flirtatious, sexual, or overly personal texts to another individual who has not been a close friend for years, then it is cheating. If it is someone you met and became friends with recently, and your significant other does not know about him, then it could be considered cheating.

Every one has different opinions on what cheating is, in my eyes that is cheating. The reason I consider it cheating is because you are sharing thoughts and fillings that should only be shared with your significant other, and also you are building a relationship with another person even if its not physical.

I would agree with the others so far. If it is something that you would only be texting to you significant other and not everyone than yes. I also for just normal conversation or texting when you are in a relationship if its not just casual and your doing it a lot I would think that would be kind of disrespectful to whom you are with. I think they would deserve your full attention. If its just randomly just to say hey or whatever I don't see no biggie.

In my opinion, you're cheating when you start seriously flirting with another person (not just playful flirting that really doesn't mean a thing).
Texting is texting. I think people make too big a deal out of it. Unless your texts are sexual or whatever. But I would say no.

Depends on what the texts are saying. If it's sexual yes. here's a good way to tell. Would you have the same text conversations with your gal friends?
