Tim'sAngel Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I've read 2 post tonight mentioning "emotional affairs" I've been seeing this phrase alot. I guess I never thought about it much before, but you really can totally cheat on someone emtionally just as you could physically. Although it seems the first would eventually turn into the latter. In fact, just the other day the SO and I were having a conversation and I remember telling him if he ever were to cheat on me, it would be easier to live with knowing it was just an empty sexual fling rather than him having feelings for someone else. That would hurt more than anything. I wouldn't be able to deal w/either, but the latter would just do me in. I want to know that I have his heart and his cock. Does everyone else agree that this is a serious form of cheating? Any thoughts about the issue?

JadeStar Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I have always heard that an emotional affair is far worse than just a physical affair. Simply because the bond that is formed. The closeness and intimate details they share with one another etc. Both are not good, no doubt, but anyone can lay down with someone and have sex. Emotional affair involves actually connecting with someone, not only in body(if it goes that far) but in mind as well. JMO. Jade

RecordProducer Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 I would be very hurt if my hubby had an emotional affair with someone, but I would demand from him to cut it off and with lots of pain and mights, we could probably work it through. He would have to choose between me and her in any case and if he would decide to be with me, he would have to ditch her forever. The part about the EA that is "innocent" to me is that it happens spontaneously and gradually, probably as a result of lack of good communication with your own partner. I don't believe in deep feelings for a friend you fancy in every way, but have never had a real relationship with them. It would hurt but I would eventually forgive (maybe not completely though). However, physical cheating I would NEVER forgive and the marriage would be over, regardless of whether we would literally get divorced or not. I don't care if it's one night or one blow job or big love - if he slept with another woman, he chose to betray me, he chose to hurt me, and he chose to lose me.
