I would say its cheating definitely. I havent experienced it in this relationship but there were times i wanted to call other people cause he pissed me off lol. But i dont because i think if he did that i would be pissed.
Absolutely cheating. Worse than physical in my opinion. And emotional affairs usually (in my experience) the significant other doing it likes to point blame at you for things you don't do, start fights, and spend limited time with you or when you are together they make it really hard to get along so eventually you two split @elovoros,
