You share a home and a life with a partner of 8 years. Giving room for another person to get between you is cheating. You've given oxygen to these feelings. Every conversation, message sent, meme shared, and stolen moment with this person is a conscious decision to betray your partner. This isn't an innocent crush where you like a coworker's personality and the way that their booty fills out their jeans. You've made many many small choices to get closer to this other person.

To be fair, I talk to many coworkers and send stuff to them over text/DM/ etc. I haven’t crossed a line in talking about personal life things over text. I honestly would be okay if my partner saw these texts as they do the same with their coworkers and classmates.

The feelings yes, not okay.

Context is everything. These interactions are inappropriate because of your feelings and these feelings exist because of these interactions. Sending a McRib Meme isn't a problem on its face, but when he wants to put his reconstituted pork product in your sesame seed bun that meme is slathered in the BBQ sauce of betrayal.
