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?

I'm polyamorous enough that the question barely makes sense to me; I have to recast it with a pack of assumptions that are meaningless to my marriage. (Since I wouldn't consider it cheating if my husband developed a very personal relationship offline, I can't see that removing the physical connection would make it more cheating.)
My relationship with my husband is not threatened by either of us having other relationships. Not by other friendships, and not by other loves. We have to negotiate *time*--that's a limited resource that we have to allocate--but we have to work around that for any aspects of our lives that aren't together, like work and hobbies and spending time with the kids.
