It depends on what they are getting out of the person. If it's just to hang out, have a bit of fun and laughs, and miss their significant other a little (absence having the heart grow fonder), then it's likely just a friendship of the opposite sex.
However, if it's them pouring all of their heart into conversation, getting affection in the form of gifts or hugs from their friend, it could be more of an emotional affair.

Is chatting on the internet cheating on your partner if its the opposite sex?
Of course not ... chatting = conversation (talk) ... cheating = having an affair (sex) ... so, sex is not conversation ... talk is not an affair. Anyone is entitled to talk to anyone they so choose.Another POV:It can be. The idea that a sexual affair is the only form of cheating is a limited view. An emotional affair can be just as much a betrayal. If you are engaged in a chat/internet relationship with someone to the detriment of your physical, non-virtual relationship, then it is cheating.

It is certainly not innocent if you have a friend of the opposite sex and want to keep it from your spouse. If you are truly friends with this person then talk to your spouse about him/her and ask your friend over for dinner. There is nothing to fear as long as that person truly is just a friend. Keeping it a secret only casts shadows of covering up a possible extra marital affair.
Do all emotional affairs have to become sexual?
Not really. Emotional affairs are a situation where one person out of a romantic couple seeks emotional support from a person who is not their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend. For it to count as an emotional affair, the person supplying the emotional support would have to be someone who would be eligible as a companion had the person seeking emotional support not been romantically involved already. Sex does not really supply emotional support, so it does not fit into a specifically emotional affair.
