Dear Fonseca,
Last month, I attended my high school reunion where I reconnected with my high school sweetheart. Since then, we have been chatting every day. We are both married and have yet to tell our spouses we are speaking again. Is it cheating if I get her a Christmas gift? My sister says I shouldn't because it's cheating, but my best friend says it's harmless. Is it wrong to do?
