@majesticduxk replied to your post “Okay. Fic questions – What kind of behavior warrants a…”

any fic where the other party believes they have one sort of relationship, and the other steps outside of that,knowing what their partner thinks. Oh, and the intent of the straying party. Coffee with a new person you like, not cheating. Coffee with a new person that you like with the intent of seeing if it goes somewhere, cheating. (I don’t read cheating/infidelity fic, so I can’t say if this is standard or not)

Okay, so what I’m getting is that even if the intention was not to overstep the bounds of the relationship if Character A does without discussing it with Character B it’s cheating. 

Like, if going to get coffee with new person results in a kiss, even if the intention was just to see the person and Character A and C get caught up in it, that’s infidelity. 

I’m asking because I want to make sure I cover my ass here. I don’t wanna write something and post it and leave a tag out.
