    Is being attracted to someone else when you are in a relationship cheating? Why or why not?

    I think it depends on the type of attraction.  I mean face it, attraction is one of the reasons we become friends with someone - mutual interest or goal, for example.  An attraction of this sort I wouldn't see as cheating.  I guess it would also depend on the level of attraction in regards to it being sexual, however then again, if you find yourself sexually attracted to someone other than your mate, you should be asking yourself WHY.  You should have that kind of attraction for the one you are with - not for someone else.  And if you start fantasizing about the other person, or go out of your way to see them or talk to them or whatever, then yea, I think it's equal to cheating because you are putting energy into the attraction instead of the relationship with your partner.  You are cheating your partner of your attention, time, affection....  Even if you aren't having sex, you are not being loyal or faithful with your emotions with your partner.  And having trust in your partner is a very important element in a (committed, loving) relationship - and how are they going to trust you if they are worried you are going to be attracted to someone else all the time?
