If you are sneaking around it's cheating no matter what the sex of the person you are sneaking around with. If, however, you have an open relationship then whatever boundaries you set with your partner determines what constitutes cheating.
Cheating

Cheating is cheating.

It's hard to define what constitutes something as cheating; some people think sex is sex and as long there is no emotion that's okay. And this poll asks if it matters if it's the same sex or not, something I have never considered.
In my opinion, if your partner is sleeping with someone else, after making the boundaries of your relationship clear then it is cheating regardless of the other person's gender.
It all depends on the boundaries set up at the beginning of the relationship, and if you haven't set any boundaries then that's probably something very important for you to do.

Wow I do hope that works out for you...it rarely does for anyone else. This really isn't something that you 'get out of your system' unless you have the will to make it happen that way.

Cheating is cheating. It doesn't matter anything else. Now if you and your partner have another arrangement, that is a little different.
03/19/2012
The only time it's not cheating is if you're in a voluntarily open relationship.
03/19/2012
Yes!
03/20/2012
Anything you don't have permission to do is cheating. Doesn't matter who it's with.
03/20/2012
i do think it is cheeting
03/21/2012
If someone (you both have agreed to be faithful with) does something you're not down with, it's cheating. It all depends on what the agreement is.
03/21/2012
If there is deception, it's cheating.
03/29/2012
It depends on the agreement between the couple, but with no agreement, yes, obviously.

If I punch you with my left hand, but I am right handed, does it still count?

Definitely, the act of cheating itself is inherently overriding of any of the partners involved.

cheating is cheating no matter who its with

I don't believe it has anything to do with gender, and all to do with consent and transparency.
If the relationship agreements say that a person can have sex with someone (same gender, opposite gender, etc.) then it's not cheating. If it is against the will of the other partner in the relationship, then it is cheating, regardless of the gender of those involved.

Opposite sex, same sex, it's cheating.

If it's without the partner's consent, absolutely.

he's made it clear that he's into us having a 3some with another girl, and has said that if i want/need to have a thing with the girl before the 3 of us get together it's okay (i'm the one searching for her, he's too shy) but to make sure to tell him i'm planning on it, or that it may happen, first. and give him all the details. and invite him next time. i think i might still feel a bit like i was cheating. alas, no girl has showed herself worthy enough yet. we'll see.
it's cheating if you havent made it clear in your relationship that it's okay. it's up to your relationship's specified boundaries. cheating is about lying, hiding. if those two things are involved, consider yourself a cheater. or cheated on.
