Emotional cheating? Thoughts

There wouldn't be for me but some people manage. You have to ask yourself if you're willing to forgive and let go, otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy for the rest of the relationship wondering if he's still cheating. Many cheaters do cheat again. Just look through the ton of posts on this app from people saying their partner cheated again. How you found out sometimes helps indicate if that will happen (like if they got caught vs came clean, how they volunteered to repair the relationship, what actions they're taking, etc.). You need to figure out for yourself what your threshold is then go from there. I personally wouldn't be able to do it but if you can, more power to you. I wouldn't recommend anyone try if it happens again, though.

You said texting other women as in more than one? Was it emotional cheating, or was he just texting sexual/explicit content with other women? Not judging, just asking for more context so I can advise which way I'd go.

An emotional affair doesn't have to be physical or sexual actually. It all has to do with feelings and straight-up falling in love with someone else. Is that what happened here?

actually Whitney I see u have replied to my last post. U know the situation very well haha. I just wanted to know if other people have gone thru it.

As women, we will never get over the way we were treated during pregnancy (or labor) if we were done wrong. We are in our most vulnerable state at those times and to be hurt or betrayed is something that sticks with you. Coming from experience.

No idea what that post is then. 🤷‍♀️ there's a lot on here and mostly all incognito.

@Valentina Rose I used to believe this too. Obviously you're entitled to your opinion and fully respect it, but I wonder if you could consider the possibility that this is a blanket statement and doesnt apply to everyone. I cheated on my high school boyfriend when we were 19 but would never do it again, generalisations like this can be damaging and put people in a box. My husband cheated once and completely reformed! If I listened to this advice I would have missed the opportunity to learn, grow and heal with my partner and have a beautiful relationship now, the one i always dreamed of. It's too black and white a statement. Definitely not victim blaming at all, but people have their internalised reasons for cheating, and if they resolve them they are capable of growth. It's like saying "once bad at maths, always bad at maths", we are all unique and capable of growth and change.

agree!

Nope!! It gets worst
