Even legally, cheating doesn't require actual 'nookie' (and is holodeck nookie real nookie?), only the violation of agreed upon limitations. I figure if a culture has such prevalent use of tangible virtual reality, most couples would eventually broach the topic and define these boundaries. Yes and no, it depends on your relationship.

A few of my friends mentioned him as well, but the only Holodeck creation to become aware was Moriarty in TNG. sorry for nitpicking lol.

But if you're caught, you'll be single again fast enough that it won't matter any more anyway. If people can get routinely dumped over blow up dolls, well ... this is just a far more extreme version of that. Exception in the event that the program has taken on some kind of individual personality all its own, as in the case of the primary (some would say only) redeeming factor of Star Trek: Voyager: The Doctor. So usually no, but it can get complicated. And no matter what, you're probably getting dumped. I’d have to agree that no, it’s not technically cheating.

If they were spending more time with the holodeck than they were with me...

Another question to ask would be, if you are making it with a holo-representative of your significant other is That cheating?

Not to mention if you forget to set the exterior door lock. Now if you're doing it with a 3dimensional representation of Her sister than yeah, you're in trouble.
