What “counts” as cheating isn’t a black-and-white issue. Everyone draws different lines that can’t be crossed.
But in France, a court has gone ahead and declared a questionable gray area to be grounds for divorce. In a marriage of 20 years, a woman was found to have violated her marital obligations by chatting with men online, although she didn’t ever meet up with any of them physically. She communicated with them through a singles site and sent intimate photos to some of the men she spoke with. Her husband argued that the wife did not respect her spouse and ruled that the divorce was the sole fault of the wife. (Side note: I find it incredibly interesting that this case comes out of France, where we’re often told that attitudes about sex and monogamy are much more liberal than in the U.S.)
