Ok, just to weigh in with a hypothetical. Let's assume that someone's SO suffers from a medical condition that does not allow for sexual intimacy. Let's further assume that this condition is not showing any signs of going away; if anything it is here for the long haul. Now let's further suppose that sexuality between the couple was an active part of the relationship prior to the onset of this condition. And lastly, let's also assume that the SO recognizes what this has done to the relationship and has indirectly admitted that the other person could find that release, assuming caution and safety were utilized (and she would not want to know about it).
My question, if the person were to go ahead and find something on the side, is he cheating?
