So it's a little disconcerting to see all of that kind of intolerance here at this site...

I don't mind statements like "I feel cheated when xyz happens."
No, we're seeing "It is cheating when xyz happens."

Perhaps I'm guilty of the same phraseology on other topics...
Bold added by me.

This statement made me think about my responses here. I think it's safe to say that it's a problem, at the very least, if one person feels betrayed by the actions of the other person.

I also hope that when I've expressed my thoughts on this subject that it's clear that I am speaking from the position of my own relationship, and I'm pretty sure I said or agreed with someone who said that the definition of cheating is unique to each relationship. Trust is important to me, so I tend to get overly passionate about betrayal of trust, at times. If I have come across as intolerant, I hope that is only an intolerance of the harm one person can do to another, and not of lifestyle choices that are acceptable within a relationship.
