Everyone has a different view on what they see as cheating in a relationship. For example some people see kissing another person of the opposite sex cheating, and some don't. Others count emotional relationships and so on.
But is cheating really? The definition is 'An immoral way of achieving a goal.' so if you're unhappy emotionally, or the sex in the relationship has gone downhill/become non existent. Finding that with someone else is an immoral way of going about it, because you're breaking the trust.
Everyone has a different boundary of what counts as cheating in their book, so what's yours?
I personally feel it has a big thing to do with how secure you feel in your relationship, if you feel comfortable knowing that your partner does adore you like they should, then you feel a lot more at ease, a lot less paranoid, and if you did find him kissing a friend as a joke, you wouldn't be too miffed about it.
However if you are a little more insecure, a little bit more possessive, those kind of things can bother you a lot more. I've found that it's this factor of security which varies peoples opinions.
I myself have been in relationships where I've laughed while my boyfriends been kissing someone else, and I've been in relationships where the same situation has infuriated me!
Obviously if you go further than kissing it is a pretty much universal view that it is cheating, it's mainly kissing where peoples opinions vary.
Emotional Relationships
As many people know, you don't physically have to participate in anything sexual to be 'cheating' on your relationship. We get close to people that we begin to like more, and those people begin to fill a hole your life. If you're not completely happy, we have someone that we are attracted to and love on some level and they make us feel that happy again, and the same for them to you. But is that cheating?
I don't personally feel like it is cheating, but if you're thinking about how you'd rather be in a relationship with them rather than the person you are in a relationship with, something is seriously wrong, and you have to decide whether your relationship is worth trying to save, or that you need to leave. I do feel like it is a form of betrayal, and it will cause hurt even though there is no sex involved.

Makeup
Here is a picture of me taken as I'm writing this, as you can see I have NO makeup on, and a horrible spot on the top of my nose! haha.
And don't even get started on the hair on top of my head!
What do you think to girls who don't wear makeup, personally looking at that picture, i'm pretty damn scared that that's what I look like. But I figure nearly every girl who see's themselves this way. I'm someone who believe that everyone is beautiful no matter what. I personally think that the whole make-up obsession with girls is a little OTT.
But come on guys and girls, it your turn to say something. If you could say something to a girl, a friend, or anyone who's unhappy/paranoid or negative about their appearance say it here in a comment, let me know and let others know how you see us girls.

Time Management.
Sometimes a lot of us take on a little more than is capable of us. Especially if we're used to having quite a relaxed work load.
Something I've found personally is that our bodies can get so used to a relaxed daily routine. I'm in uni only a couple of days a week, and if I wasn't doing uni, I was writing for this. Now each blog post I write doesn't take me a particularly long time to write. So a lot of last year I was lazing around, and now I've decided to pursue multiple things and take on certain commitments. My bodies struggling to keep up with everything!
One mistake I've been making, which I know a lot of people make, particularly students, is that if we decide to take on a lot of different commitments, we find ourselves slotting in periods where we can take a short sleep, or 'Nap'. Instead of getting a good nights rest! I can't remember the last time I slept through the night.
Now I'm struggling to sleep at all because my mind is always buzzing with all these tasks I've committed myself to doing, I become very physically tired, but mentally very awake.
My advice to anyone taking on new work loads/commitments etc, that need to take a whole lot of time from your day, is to ease yourself into it. There's nothing wrong with jumping in at the deep-end and taking things on, but if you're not used to taking on time-consuming commitments, ease your body into it a little more.
And sustain a healthy body clock.
Don't be like me and go to bed after my 9am lectures, rather than before! You will feel pretty zombie-a-fied just like me!
But if anyone does have any suggestions that can help me get a good nights sleep etc, I'd love to hear it and try some out! It would be interesting to see which one of these methods work!
Hope everyone out there is well!
