Age old question I know - but is kissing another person cheating?

And when I say kissing I mean snogging for 10 minutes on 3 separate occasions.

Would really like a simple yes or no.

If the marriage is dead, then kill it off, don't snog other people and lie about it. If the marriage isn't dead then do some work on it. Snog your DH for example. The problem with this kind of thing, IMHO, is the following. Your marriage is stale and boring, fair enough. However, while you were kissing the OM, you were treating your DH like he was stupid, not worthy of respect and unimportant.

Cheating is hard for the cheated on. It is also really unhealthy for the cheater. You have to decide if you can treat your DH with respect and honesty from now on. I understand why people are saying not to tell him. However, don't let that be an excuse to treat him with contempt by doing this again.
