Can flirting be considered emotional cheating?

While some see harmless flirting as a natural form of social interaction, others view it as a betrayal that can damage trust. Flirting generally involves playful behaviour intended to show romantic or sexual interest in another person. Flirting can become problematic when it creates emotional or physical distance between partners or when it involves secrecy. Whether flirting is considered cheating depends on the intentions behind the behaviour.
