Nice discussion. Just to clarify: "Jumping the fence" refers to cheating on your partner in a romantic relationship, not a business partner, right?

@Toby,

Hahaha that's interesting, it doesn't make sense to me.

Is it Russian expression?

@Phil,

You're right, it refers just for a romantic relationship.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
