I would feel a little hurt by the action, but not everyone would. Just to be safe I would check out how your bf feels about it and set boundaries that you both are comfortabe with. You may need to compromise but that is what a relationship is all about. :)

I don't consider it cheating but I think that you need to stop and think about how YOU would feel if your boyfriend was cuddling with a girl who wasnt you...

No, it's not considered cheating. If you're genuinely just friends, that's fine. If however, you do have romantic or sexual feelings for him, don't do it.

But if you are just friends, and you only think of him as a friend, it's fine.

If your boyfriend gets jealous of it, you need to explain to him that you're just friends and that there's nothing else to it.

I know most guy/girl friends are affectionate like that anyway. It's seen as normal and not an indicator of anything else but close friendship.

I don't know if it's technically cheating, but it's certainly inappropriate and not something you should be doing if you have a boyfriend. If he did the same thing, you wouldn't be happy, right?

How would you feel if you walked in your boyfriend's room and saw him cuddling with another girl? Not kissing or anything but cuddled up with her on his bed with his arm around her, just "hugging" her.

How would you feel if he didn't even talk to you about it before he did it, having no idea you were going to see him laying in bed with another girl?

What would go through your mind at first? Would you think they were just friends? Would you think that they had been doing something more than just hugging on the bed? Would you question WHY they decided to lay in the bed and not just hug standing up if all it was going to be was a hug? Would you be upset that he didn't even give you warning that he was considering doing this sort of thing with another girl?

That should answer your question if it's acceptable in your relationship.

If it seems "iffy" and you're unsure then it's probably not a safe activity to do while you're with someone else.

Just because you're not "making out" or not sexually touching another person doesn't necessarily mean it's an appropriate behavior. While it may not be "cheating" it could very well hurt your boyfriend if he found out. It could also give the boy you're cuddling with the wrong impression and encourage more to begin happening on that bed.

To me, this is highly inappropriate conduct to participate in with someone while you're in a relationship with another person.

Honestly, I wouldn't consider this cheating necessarily, but if I were your boyfriend that would cause some red flags.

My rule of thumb, don't do anything you wouldn't if your boyfriend was there. So would you have cuddled with him in front of your boyfriend? I'm guessing not.
