What's Worse: Emotional or Physical Cheating?

Tisha701 · 08-23-2009 , 09:18 AM

I've heard that when it comes to cheating, if a woman emotionally cheats on her man then he'll be less offended than if she physically cheated on him. The reasoning behind that is, men are territorial, and buy giving up the goodies, you've given up the one thing he felt he had prowess or even, domain over.

And for women, it is supposedly the opposite. They say that if a man physically cheats on his woman then she'll be less offended than if he emotionally cheated on her. And of course, the reasoning behind that is, women are more so emotionally invested in a relationship than their man is. So when you give away what she came into the relationship seeking, you'll probably hurt her more.

If you're man, what drives the stake deeper... emotional or physical cheating? I pose the same question to the ladies...

So, what are your thoughts Dhaz?

I agree cheating is cheating!

sooo....

i take it that insecure women in a relationship will see flirting online or in person as cheating.

I dont see it as cheating ... cheating to me is a physical act. My girl tells me who she thinks is cute and i tell her who i think looks good. We are secure in our relationship so there is no "outside threat".

I agree that cheating is cheating but doesn't emotionally cheating also apply to celebrities they fantasize about giving someone sex! no???
i think that if its actually done its worst cuz u performed it!! hmm this is a good thinking topic!

Wanting to have sex with a celeb is not emotional cheatin...fantasizin is healthy... Emotional cheatin is when its not jus about the physical but ur partner is actually inlove or have feelins for someone else
