Is cheating the breaking of implicit or explicit rules settled between two couples?
Is it the sharing of something intimate with someone other than your partner?
Since there is a double standard between men and women, is there a higher threshold for men?
Is agreeing to temporarily separate from your partner ("need some time alone") so you can be with someone else cheating?
yes.
not necessarily.
what do you mean by higher threshold? i feel that women get away with cheating a lot easier, because when women cheat, its because their man is falling short in making them feel loved. when men cheat, theyre just worthless asshole dog motherfvkers.(opinion ive observed from women).
technically, no. if youre not together, then youre not cheating. but taking a break or whatever just so you can get with someone else is just a waste of time. move on or dont, no need for any of that drama.

if your heart is somewhere else, either physically or mentally / emotionally - it's cheating imho.
esp. if you're hiding it from your SO.
If anyone disagrees they are WRONG. No question.
so when you lust after that woman at work, its cheating? or enjoy a little flirtation and the ego boost that comes with it, its cheating? people are human, and finding others attractive and flirting is a part of human nature. ill never deny my wife that pleasure in life as long as she doesnt break my trust in her.
