Adultery is the voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and another person who is not his or her spouse, though in some cultures adultery takes place only when a married woman has sexual relations with someone who is not her husband. In most cases, in western countries, only the married party is said to have committed adultery, and if both parties are married (but not to each other) then they both commit separate acts of adultery. In other countries, both parties to the adultery are considered guilty, while in others again only the woman is able to commit adultery and to be considered guilty.

Adultery is also referred to as extramarital sex, philandary or infidelity but does not include fornication. The term "adultery" for many people carries a moral or religious association, while the term "extramarital sex" is morally or judgmentally neutral.

If you did not have voluntary sex with them then no you did not commit adultery and it's ok to hang out with other people if you did not do anything.

You did not commit adultly if you did not have sex. Your feeling guiltly because your friend made a pass. He knew you were going though a seperation and sounds like he was just trying to take advanage maybe he is not the friend you thought. Your back with your husband and you did nothing wrong let it go your beating yourself over something that never happened. Good luck

I don't think you did anything wrong if you didn't reciprocate. I do think you should tell your spouse. To have a healthy relationship honesty and openess are key.

Everyone wants to tell you the definition of adultery but that doesn't matter. The only definition that matters here is yours and your current partner's.

Why should you feel guilty for something you did while you were separated and which you say you didn't follow through on? I think you should be proud of yourself, not guilty about what happened.

You should feel good that someone had that type of passion for you and keep it just as a warm memory that can make you smile sometimes. It's in the past and you should find it easy enough to keep it there.
