You're stronger than I For me, I think emotional cheating would be very hurtful. I couldn't put up with either level of cheating. I don't just want my mans body, I want his heart too. All of it. If he's emotionally not 100% with me, that's not something I could ever be alright with. IMO if he's able to give himself emotionally, he could be persuaded to give himself physically. I think it's human nature to flirt...nothing wrong with that...but giving yourself emotionally (even just partially) to someone other than your SO could be as damaging to a relationship as physical infidelity.
Women are funny, they will sit there and eat knuckle sandwiches, be verbally stripped of their dignity, put down like lowly species of animals and stick around day in and day out with dudes.... but soon as he cheats, thats when they walk out of the door immediately. :smt036
To me cheating is anything you would do that you won't do in front of your spouse, or wouldn't want them to know about. What some of you described I don't think is "emotional" cheating. I think it's mental cheating. To me, emotional cheating is when someone becomes emotionally involved with someone, falls in love with someone else, etc. Cheating ends a relationship for me. I've never cheated, never will. I expect the same.
I wouldn't know. IF, and I do mean IF, a woman I was in a serious relationship with cheated on me, she would be gone after we had the talk about why she did it in the first place. i mean, she had a weak moment and chose to act on it than talk to me about her desires. But, so far, in my life that hasn't happened, thank God. But, I guess I would detect that something is wrong if I were in a close, physical relationship with a woman.
true its selfishness bottom line but how its justified differs among genders heres one article....others to come. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6502892
I could if there was a lot riding on the marriage as an entity, provided I knew what I was getting myself into and had my eyes open.
How are you able to justify staying in an abusive relationship for so long but be able to end an relationship on a dime when it comes to cheating? In that sense, it's like you welcomed the abuse because shows you always had the power to leave whenever.
Excuse me? I've never justified anyone staying in an abusive relationship, nor have I ever been or stayed in one. I grew up in an abusive environment, the cycle stopped with them.
No shit GL - he's linking the two and obviously he has me confused with someone else, quoted the wrong thing, can't read, or something.
