My love and I have two young kids and moved to a farm that needs massive renovation. We love eachother but we get no time for eachother and when (if) the kids finally sleep, we fall asleep also..
My first experience happened trough texting and I kind of miss that but my love is not into that at all.
Is it cheating if I look for someone just for some hot but clean texts without commitment?
 
It depends on who your carrier is. If you and your spouse share a Verizon plan and you start texting with someone who has an ATT plan, that’s totally cheating. Only sext with people who use the same cellular service.

WE are neither your conscience nor your confessor. I have my opinion, but I live by my own rules.

1. How do you think your wife would feel, think, or react if you get discovered?

2. If you get caught, what's the fall-out?

3. Are you willing to find out?

Why should any of us tell you, "Nah dude, you good. Tell your wife we all do it!"

or "It's not cheating, dog, don't let your wife tell you it is!"

Or even, "It is and you are a dagblasted whatchamajigger for even thinking about it."

Look inside, look at your family, then decide if texting someone is what YOU want to do.

Depends on your relationship. Have you discussed what is allowed?

Is flirting okay? Have you given and also gotten permission to flirt
Joking flirting or real flirting that goes nowhere, or flirting that could lead to sex?

Those are two different things in my mind. But I know they aren't in most.

Do you have an open relationship?

Do you have to hide it?

Would doing this upset your partner?

I've been monogamous and in monogamous partnerships all my life, my partner has permission to flirt, and unless she's going out and having sexual contact (which could give us both an STD) I am not bothered.

If it is just talking, even sexual talk, I don't care, I've made that clear.

I've even spoken about sexual things with people, though not sexted, while in a relationship.

I just find relationships and sexuality fascinating but it wasn't flirting or sexting or leading to anything, but I would understand if my partner didn't want me to do that.

Fortunately we talk about our boundaries.

I never go out with random women and I always would sleep in my bed with my partner if given the choice.

I even had a sexless marriage for the past 10 years and I didn't cheat.

Now that I have exited said relationship I am free to talk.

But see above guidelines, if it is something you have to hide, then its considered cheating.

Do not be dishonest with your partner, and find out what is okay because feelings are involved and someone may be trying to build a life WITH you that you are destroying

Do not waste the time and hurt the feelings of another person so casually.

Monogamy isnt for everyone but deception is wrong almost always. The few instances I can think of that involve ethical deception involve like, fascist states, so. Don't bother. Lying is wrong is a good general rule.
 
If you’re worried about cheating, my thought is that you probably know your person well enough to know whether they would consider it a betrayal.

If they would, it’s cheating, i think.
 
"Is sexting considered cheating?"

That's a question you should be asking your wife. People love to tout "no-strings fun" and end up in a spider's web.
Only you know how your wife would view/respond to that scenario, and if you don't, then you should be having an honest conversation with her.
