i really appreciate hearing your opinion, considering i have an opposing one. it’s always interesting to see another side
I feel the same way can I hear your opinion I'm curious
i happen to think emotional cheating is worse. i value my personality, brain, n thinking more than my body. so for someone to betray my body, doesn’t rlly effect me much. to have someone seek emotional intimacy from someone else due to a lack of communication for whatever reason, would make me feel like i haven’t done my best to be there for them. idk just to have my partner seek solace elsewhere bc of an insecurity they feel from me, that they can’t find whatever appealing factor in me- would make me feel tossed aside. physical cheating seems more surface level to me, while emotional cheating might develop over a longer course of time. this does not mean i don’t value the differing opinions of everyone else, just putting that out there!! :)
I see what you mean! I think that emotional cheating can't really be controlled by the other person though. So if there's real love and affection and respect in a couple, even though you feel attracted to someone else or you have guilty thoughts (as we all do at some point), you are able to go past it and control your actions. At the end of the day, what you choose to do defines you more than how you feel for me. It's a dumb example but imagine you're stuck with babysitting your kid sibling and they are being very annoying. You scolding them harshly is something you could do, but you feeling it's bothersome but bearing with it is also an option although the feeling is the same. Does it make sense at all?
Emotions aren't really something that can TRULY be controllable.....in the beginning it seemed like the reason why they cheated was because of their lack of sex but later on we realised that wasn't truly the case the reason was more of feeling unwanted or that you're partner is taking you for granted we can see their flashbacks and understand how they feel they cheated because they didn't feel the love of care that they needed from their partner and as we can this damaged their self worth plus adding onto the fact even though they were trying to make their relationship right the other person didn't even try and understand till someone/something around them made them realise that they didn't want to loss the other person even then.....they didn't truly put their soul into because as we can see it's more like they don't want to loss the pillar in their lives of they just felt plain gulity. Now physical cheating this is not like emotional cheating because as we can see many things tend to happen for emotional cheating to happen but for physical cheating that's just because they feel horny or maybe want to try something new or even because they don't feel attraction to their partner anymore and the thing is this is actually controllable most of the time. So in my opinion physical is worse because unlike cases of being heavily drunk and being unaware or truly understanding your surroundings most of the time the person is aware of what they have done but don't card until it's over while for emotional sometimes you don't realise until something pushed you to the edge of may be you notice but you still try fighting it. Although i wouldn't like being cheated on emotionally at least in that situation i can understand why our relationship ended up in that situation and maybe we can even have a deep and thorough conversation about our future and see if we can fix the cracks in our relationship. In the end this is just my opinion
