Do these 15 things count as cheating? We all know what cheating is in a relationship . . . or do we? (check out #15 and I'm wondering who that 1% is...lol). Thousands of people took an online poll that asked if different things count as cheating or not. Here's what people said . . .

1. Does kissing someone on the cheek count as cheating? Only 7% say yes. But 73% think kissing on the lips is definitely cheating. 3% even think it's cheating when two actors have to kiss.

2. Scrolling through Tinder when you're bored, but not messaging anyone? 47% say yes, that's cheating. If you do message someone, 87% say it's cheating.

3. Hugging someone very closely and slowly? 14% think that's cheating.

4. Sending someone else revealing photos? Yes, 94% say it's cheating.

5. Giving someone a massage? 22% say it's cheating no matter the context.

6. Flirting with that cute barista at Starbucks? 26% think it's cheating.

7. Hooking up with someone else when you're on a "break"? 32% say it's cheating. Another 35% think it's a gray area, so it depends. Immediately the scene from "Friends" came to mind about being "On A Break"

8. Sharing a bed, but you don't do anything? Only 17% say it's cheating.

9. Holding hands with someone else? 28% say it's cheating. Another 42% say it depends.

12. Watching porn? Only 8% say it's cheating.

13. Sliding into someone else's DMs? 62% say it's cheating.

14. Having sex with someone else? Yeah, only 1% say that's NOT cheating. (Okay - who is this 1% and where is this okay...other than upside down pineapple lane?)

15. And finally: Your partner has been in a coma for months and might not wake up. You sleep with someone. Is that cheating? 41% say yes.
