Your analogy of the escort service is true. I would consider that cheating, too. It was never my intention to say that, just because nothiing physically happened, that it's okay.
What I'm saying is that a commiting relationship doesn't mean you can't meet other people. Now, I agree that this shouldn't be done behind the other's back but I disagree that this shouldn't be done, at all.
I mean, it's a pretty fine line between seeing someone because you like them and seeing someone because you like them enough that you might eventually leave your current girlfriend for her. So fine, in fact, that I don't think there really is any difference. When it comes to these kinds of situtations, I lean towards freedom. I mean, it's ridiculous to avoid seeing people you like because something romantic might happen, isn't it? Your SO can leave you at any time for any (or no) reason so you should always be prepared for that.
Again, I should probably mention that things are a little different if deception is involved and that includes "lying by ommision..."
