No, but it does not mean your boyfriend will not get mad if he finds out and breaks up with you again.  If I were your boyfriend, I would break up with you over that. Just keeping it real. Good luck.

If you're broken up, you're broken up-so it's not cheating.  If he has done the same thing, he's got a bit of nerve for being angry.

This sounds like a bad relationship.  Regardless, you did not cheat by doing this, however, it does not make it right.

I'm not saying your relationship is dysfunctional, but if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck... it's probably a duck.  

I think it would be a real good idea for both of you to take a good look at the amount of dysfunction taking place.  I'm not saying you cannot overcome cheating.... I am in the process of doing that myself.  But what I am saying is, there is a lot more to it than just feeling that it won't happen again.  It takes a lot of work for all parties involved, and a promise is not enough to work through this.

Yes, I agree with all here.  The simple answer to your question is that nothing is cheating if you are broken up.  But the situation sounds comples in general.  

We have all these ways to get ourselves in trouble these days . . . internet, phone with pics, texting.  Yeesh . . . remember the old days in which you could only cheat in person?
Not a fan of all this technology.
