Personally, I think the idea of "emotional cheating" is bullshit. In my life, there have been lots of people I have been emotionally intimate with--and in some cases, as intimate as I am with my husband. Does he think it's emotional cheating? No, I just think I have really good friends. The same is true for him.
Also, the concept is not one I EVER came across in ANY of my classes on family studies/marriage/interpersonal relationships.
A romantic relationship is two parts: emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy.
Further, most people around here will tell you that the partners in a relationship define what cheating is, so it's kind of an issue you'll have to bring up with your partner, not with us, if you really want to know how he sees cheating and establish some groundrules for your relationship.
