to girlfriend: "Hey honey, I like you a lot, and we've been together for four years, but it's ok if I start auditioning other girls to replace you, isn't it?"
While it's true cheating has different definitions for most people, the argument of "We're not married, there's a difference" falls flat. The state of your relationship doesn't have one iota to do with the question of if something is cheating or not. Likewise, there's not "cheating a little" vs "cheating a lot". It either is or it isn't.
My initial conclussion is that you miss "the chase". That's normal. I think all men in long term relationships go through periods where they feel this way, and most women too. That's normal. Walk away from it. Learn to do it now, or it will plague you in every relationship in your life.
It's also important to note that, in a long term relationship, *your* definition of cheating doesn't even come into it. Our definitions don't. The only persons definition of cheating that matters is your partners (and vice versa if the situation were reversed).
