I agree with you dzire. But more important than how I, or Webster, or even the person involved in the online relationship defines "cheating" is how the spouse would define cheating. A friend of mine divorced her husband when she discovered he had an online relationship. He had never spoken to the woman and have never met her. He promised to discontinue the relationship with the online woman he loved, but the damage was done, and he is now a divorced man. My friend felt she could no longer trust him. The deceit was cheating in her point of view.
