Overall, I love the breakdown of the term cheating and allows food for thought on where we get our words.

I guess it’s cheating because of the emotional sting. Sure, a partner may feel unhappy in a relationship( no one is 100% happy with ALL things), but being secretive and having affairs— stings. It FEELS like cheating or simply being unfair. If a person is that unhappy in a relationship( spouse nags, withholding sex etc) then separate or get counseling. Either choice will be hard. Great article overall!
