Would those of you who are married or in a commited relationship consider it cheating if your significant other developed a very personal relationship online?
A few people have posted here about meeting their spouse online. But what if the relationship in question was in addition to a marriage/commitment?

"Very personal", as in a lover?
I think this depends more on personal morals, than it does whether or not the internet is involved. For me, cheating is cheating, whether online or off. I'd never even so much as flirt with another woman online while in an offline relationship.
The same went the other way around as well, when my lady and I were in the strictly online relationship, I'd have never even considered dating someone locally. In fact I had to decline a couple advances, and I know she had to do so at least once as well. I'd not have had any interest in her -- friend or otherwise -- if she could have blithely carried on multiple relationships with different guys.
I'm sure the people who don't mind cheating in "RL" would just as easily cheat online.
