Interesting conversation this weekend over a bottle of wine. In a marriage (or a committed relationship), what constitutes infidelity? There is the traditional, full-blown affair, with lying, sneaking, covering-up, and sex with someone other than a spouse. However, what about "friendships" that obviously cross a line (discussing personal details of the marriage, flirting, dating, etc.), are carried on without the spouse's knowledge, involve lying/sneaking/covering up, but do NOT include a sexual relationship. Do you consider this second situation to be infidelity, or just the full-on, sexually intimate relationship?
