If someone needs to sneak behind their partners backs to do something they know it is wrong and therefore it should be considered cheating. They know it would be thought of this way or they wouldn't have hid it in the first place. However, like in your circumstance, if the other party is aware of it and it okay with it, then no, it is not cheating. It has to be a mutual agreement I think.

I'm one of those people that thinks you most certainly can have an "affair" online with no physical contact, especially if you develop real feelings for that person. I would be hurt and feel betrayed.

My question is this. If you know that a man is married and his wife would not approve of it, would you continue such activity and if so, why? (Not directed at you, but anyone in general that would be willing to answer).

Have a great night!
