I the intention of the kiss has everything to do with the cheating aspect. On New Year's Eve if you happen to be by someone, but are attached to someone else and you innocently kiss them with a peck....no problem. However, if you have a secret cruxh or something and place yourself in the position to be able to kiss that person....then you have a problem.

I guess I personally believe if you are in love and in a relationship, then you wouldn't want to kiss anyone else. As for New Years... I look forward to staying by the one I love so at midnight I get the pleasure of welcoming the NewYear with him with a kiss........just my opinion.....

I kind of agree with you, but I do have friends who think differently...so I was wondering what others thought. Thanks!

i kissed a girl while in a long distance relationship with another girl, it turned out to be the most electrifing experience of my life. I found something i had always wanted, my moral compass was conflicted before it happened but i found the girl that burns the fire in my soul...

Is it cheating? Yes. Is it of consequence? Assuming you are refering to a one time event, I don't think so. If the news would hurt your partner, I don't even think it's worth mentioning.

Cheating is always defined by the two people between whom there are expectations. Forgetting about such relationship innovations like polyamory or other open relationships, it's reasonable for two people to define the boundaries of monogamy somewhere north (or south... whatever) of a kiss or even a make-out sense. Note, this is isn't swinging... there's a lot of room between a kiss at a party and, say, a key party.

I have friends I would consider and define themselves as monogamous, but they've been known to sneak kisses with friends. It's all above board and everyone is happy.

But in the end, it's all about the intention and how the other party thinks of it. If you're busting their expectations, it's cheating. It's good to communicate about these things before they're an issue in the moment.

it completely depends on the relationship you're in --- the 'rules' you've set. if you wouldn't want to tell your partner, that could indicate that's it's a hurtful thing to do (as in, the wrong thing to do) or that you don't have good communication in your relationship. there are many couples that wouldn't want kisses with others, and there are many couples that would be ok with it.

Of course it’s cheating. Its something you shouldn’t be doing when you are in a relationship.
But then again, why dont you spend new yearswith your partner?
Depends what boundaries you guys have set.
I know I’d be hurt if my bf did that.

If it isn’t something you’d do with your mate, your mom, and your kids watching….don’t do it.

If you mean an intimate ‘French kiss’...then yes, I’d say that is cheating. New Year’s Eve or not. A quick tap-kiss? Nah, I’d probably be pissed at my wife for a few minutes, maybe the rest of the evening, but later I’d dismiss it as her getting caught up in the moment.
