I have mixed feelings about this.  
My wife and I have discussed this before and  
she has said that it is not cheating.  
I testill tend to feel a bit guilty about it anyway. Even though we both enjoy talking abuot it in bed

FWIW, I look at it this way: if you’re doing something that you don’t want your SO to know about, there’s a good chance you shouldn’t be doing it.

I would have preferred my husband to have cheated online or even on the phone. As it were,he did it in person,probably a hundred times.But he wasn’t purple.
