Which is worse in a relationship

Which is worse in a relationship

I agree.

Which is worse physical cheating?
0r emotional cheating? There is a big difference.

Would forgive a person cheating on you physically? Or emotionally?

Neither one is right.

Would you really accept emotional cheating over physical?

That's tough. I would say that I could forgive physical cheating, as long as it with somebody I didn't know and she was out of my life. But emotional cheating, I would probably beat the butter out of the guy and chew her ass out!!!

Is there such a thing as a written contract for an emotional connection?

It's written in blood and emotion.

I think it's more about not indulging emotionally with someone else if you're committed to one person.

CHEATING IS WORSE.

doesn't matter which kind

Well half of the divorces now are due to emotional cheating. Hmmm, I trust you so much that you go to someone just for talking and not sex. Then eventual someone gets vulnerable and ends up physically cheating. You blab your business to a newbie and newbie meets you one day and reveals deep dark secrets. Omg I think I would die of a heart attack. I am so private.

And no I would just stay calm, cool , and collected.

No one needs or wants this to happen but it does, believe me. If you thought your bedroom life needs spicier acts, watch porno I guess or communication works. But only for so long.

Emotional cheating well I would never open up to you ever because my wall would be up permanently.

I have a family friend who's going through this right now...the guy never did anything physical with the other woman, but shared an emotional connection with her. Though I don't condone cheating in any form, I think that emotional cheating is much worse than the physical act itself.

Not to say that it's right, but people can have casual sex with no feelings involved. But to have an actual emotional connection, you're basically falling in love with that other person. Which may be more difficult to recover from.

What is emotional cheating?

And would flirting be considered cheating?

What is emotional cheating?

It's emotional energy that you put into the other person and are no longer giving your partner. Cheaters like to disguise it as a friendship.

It depends on the individuals. Flirting can be something innocent, unless it's secretive, the intent is wrong, there's some sexual agenda and your partner doesn't like it.

What exactly counts as indulging emotionally in another person or putting emotional energy into them?



Are there any common examples?

The way I see it..entertaining someone else and flirting while boyfriend is sick and in need of a chicken soup.

But I'm a Venus in Cancer so there you go.

Are there any common examples?

When you have to hide your conversations from your partner.

When you share stuff with them that you don't share with your partner or before you tell your partner.

When you start wishing your partner is more like the other person.

When there's more communication between you and the other, more than you and the partner.

When you find yourself waiting for texts and phone calls from the other person.

When you start dressing in ways more appealing to the other person.

When you start to share your relationship issues with that other person.

EMotional cheating. All day. both usually happens though

I think flirting isn't that bad as long as you don't get carried away. I have a trust bond with you. And if I even think something I will address it before I start become jealous. And if jealousy peeks then I don't trust you. That's why some people don't like these traits. Jealousy and possessive.

Emotional cheating is talking to someone else and looking for comfort outside of your perfect life. It's hard to forgive for both being done to you.

Revealing your sex life to someone else, if there's sex problems in your relationship.

Its revealing your financial burdens to someone else. Oh I am a breadwinner but I am not.

Oh those that have kids and workaholic parents with different schedules. Who hardly see each other. Over time someone with a short attention span might be like this. Maybe idk.

I have to save all my energy cause its

Mentally exhausting to think people actually don't have a problem with this. Or it's never happened to you and its a new experience.

If you think those example are bull. Then what is acceptable?

I would say emotional. I believe that it would be harder to catch someone who's emotionally cheating. He could be doing that while he's next to me on his phone. I would want to catch that fast and end the relationship.

Damn emotional loyalty? If I trust you physically and I should be able to trust that your here with me emotionally too.? Hmmm if I was married I divorce you so fast and probably take everything you owned. Because if I take you to court. Pretty sure the women would . Then again just walk away forever.

It's doing all of those things, even after you realize the chemistry you have with the other person. You're not *just* friends anymore. You're officially poking the bear.

Exactly! In the case of my friend, her spouse was away for business. Normally they would speak every evening, but he stopped and stopped answering her calls during that time. When she asked him about it, he just brushed it off. She finally checked the phone records and found out he was on the phone with a coworker during those times and after normal business hours (2am, 3am) and texting her throughout the day.

He chalked it up to them being just friends and that his coworker was going through some things....but so was his pregnant wife.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with having friends of the opposite sex. This is just my personal belief...once your emotional needs (acceptance, affection, comfort, approval, etc.) are being met by someone else, once you start fulfilling the needs of someone else and no longer giving to your partner, once you start lying, once feelings develop (not just lust), you're in trouble.

I would never blame the other woman. I don't know if he would have felt differently, but there is a history, so maybe not. There is an underlying problem that he isn't being honest about. Your definition of cheating may be different based on the boundaries you have set in your relationship. Like I said, in my opinion, once you start to lie to, deceive and neglect your partner, it's cheating.

Hm no I would not be angry with the women because she(h) has no idea either. Actually i would talk to her to find out all the juicy details. Because women need women supposedly for this reason.

A it's closure and B it's proof. Gotchya and see ya later. Then some guy or girl is like fuck it, and already know about you, and still do it anyways because you never opened your pretty brown eyes wide enough.

Causse Fuck that bullshit. When you have no regret. And the fact that he/she is with two different people showing both women his emotions and feelings. Blah blah. Other than you. Sharing his sperm and you're getting sloppy juice from a stranger.

Then I would become depressed, and hurt, and probably show the emotions from a hurtful betrayal break up.

In a long term relationship where we are old like in our 50s married. Is it acceptable then? Instead of the younger age like 30 & up . Not you youngish 25 and younger year olds. Cause I hope you have not been through that yet.

Emotional betrayal is when you transfer your heart & feelings to another person and, of course, hide that from your partner. Friendship isn't emotional betrayal. Being falsely accused isn't emotional betrayal. Emotional betrayal is having a close intimate relationship with another person and hiding that from your partner. People who find themselves in this situation like to say what they're doing isn't really cheating and nothing will happen but more often than not they are lying to themselves. Playing with feelings is playing with fire.

Emotional is worse to me because emotional means the heart is involved. Physical can just be lust and lust doesn't last. But if a man connects emotionally with another woman, current woman is doomed. It's over.

Oh so there is a familiar difference between Gemini moon and Aquarius moon(me).

So saying that one can be physically attracted to someone, but won't be emotionally attached at all. Hm is this society today?


And yeah it's a good idea to talk about the standards first.

So you can't have sex with some one with emotions.. then we could cheat because there's no point. Mixing the physical and emotions together.

But can you understand that without emotions it just feels empty and lonely, and cold hearted, I am glad I have taurus in Sun sign than my Aquarius moon. It's the emotions, physical, and mental connection that completes most of the relationship.

Play with my emotions. I tend to think of you as my enemy. In my mind. I rather have you as a friend or stay friends than an enemy. Now if we happened to have sex. That's a different story. Because I opened up and maybe it didn't work after the sex. Which could be better in the long run.

Sex is important nowadays in a relationship. But now it seems you have to have sex while your in that friend mode. Which to that guy I am super barrier reef.

Now being in a friendship with someone has to be a starting point. Because I will test you and emotions. I need to know as friends you are loyal, and honest, and trusting. I make it know what my intentions are . I need to see how you act around other women. I sit back. And then I communicate what I feel I should address.

I also feel starting like this will grow to a stable relationship if it meant to be.

What if you found out the emotional cheating part. And all the advice given to him/her was to benefit your relationship in the end.

He felt insecure about you or something in the relationship then told h/she,

Not enough sex- like there are sex addicts and nymphos..maybe need a connection with someone else. And then again get advice and then try to help the actual relationship with us.

Some things I don't get. Just break up and no hard feelings. Geezus.
