I think it's all about intent. If you had a conversation about flight sims or sports or politics or whatever, and there was no difference in the conversation compared to what you'd have with a guy, then I'd say it's not cheating.
If you found yourself having thoughts about her, anxious to get back and chat, and maybe felt a bit of excitement about it, I'd say that might be crossing a line into a romantic area, and could be "emotional cheating."
Probably the quickest litmus test would be, think about how you'd feel if you found out your wife was doing exactly what you're doing (except with a guy), and you somehow knew her feelings about that person. If you wouldn't like it, you probably shouldn't do it with a woman.

If you have to ask, then best not to do it. Any conversation you wouldn't talk about or have in front of your wife is best left alone. It's a slippery slope, and it doesn't start with sex talk.

That's dodgy ground you are treading there Marko. My incident started with an innocent conversation that quickly turned into something else. We agreed to meet although nothing happened,just a chat and a meal.I'm surprised that it got that far as I'm just not like that. My wife was a wonderful person and although she never found out it really f****d me up knowing what I had done.We only met the once btw. There is a 'funny' side to this. It was on AOL chat and this lady had a very jealous husband who was known to log in under her name and see what she was up to. I changed my name to Sarah and we had a secret phrase that we would use to make sure it was her.Well one evening I got suspicious and worked the phrase into the conversation and got no reply.It's a trap! I had to then converse with this guy for about 20 minutes making sure the conversation was 'feminine'. As has been pointed out,you never know who you are talking to

I think it totally depends on what the conversation is about. If you're venting to this new friend about your wife or anything sexual than it needs to stop. If you feel like the other person is just waiting for "more to happen", then stop. It's no different than venting to a work wife about your real wife. 95% of the time that leads to no good...
I have female friends who I talk to, some are photographers, some are air show geeks like me. If we're talking "shop" and it's nothing you can't show your significant other then there's no foul. If it's something you'd be pissed about if your Sig was doing to a man, then it needs to stop.
I've had an extremely jealous GF who thought any female commenting on my photos I'd post was a move put on me. I won't deal with that. Even my current GF gets like that from time to time. If a guy is giving me a compliment that's not taken as he's interested, so why is it for a women.

It always depends on the intention. You can have a conversation about how kinky sexual practices if it's just educational but not meant to get into the pants of the other person. Say wha??? Probably safer and more educational to purchase Jack Morin's book and leave the others out of it. F(Forget) social media, just hang out at SimHQ where 95% of the population is old ugly hairy (except head) dudes, you'll stay out of trouble.

Was just thinking about this when I read the thread title. My policy is always: <If you have to ask, then you shouldn't...>
