You have been cheated on by your partner. (oh noes!!)

What would you rather prefer; being cheated on sexually or emotionally? D;

sexually - they have sex with someone else, but no other attachments.
emotionally - they love this person more than you. no sex.

IMO, they both suck ass. >.> <.< Although I guess you could say that "cheating sexually" is a habit that can be changed... o.o After all, it's just about repressing your instincts, no? Kinda like eating too much as a habit, and learning how to control it. D; But... if your partner is more interested in someone else... then say bye-bye to your relationship. o.o;;

P.S. I think this is my third thread about cheating already. .__."

They both suck.

And they would both be a reason to start reconsidering the relationship with the person.

Therefore I can't really decide between them.
But it's not like I've ever been in such a situation before, so my answer doesn't help much.

My gut reaction is emotionally.

But, if said partner cheats on me (sexually), they have no respect for me whatsoever, and they're willing to jeopardize everything for sex? (are you kidding? piece of @#!$%@#) VS. him finding someone he loves more than me; it hurts, but I think I would understand, especially if it were me. Either way they're out of the window.

And I don't see why they'd have to go to someone else for sex....
unless they're gay or into unspeakable things, like scat.

I really don't care, she's dead to me in both cases.

"Good to know. Have a good life, goodbye" walks opposite direction

pretty much for both

...

If it's an either or situation, then the obvious answer is emotion cheating.

Why?

If your partner cheats on you while not practicing safe sex with an STD infected individual, guess what your going to have.

So, you can just leave them if they cheat on you emotionally. All that the experience will leave you with is a hurt pride and a broken heart.

If they cheat on you physically, they will leave you with a damaged pride, crushed heart, and possibly medical bills for the rest of your shortened life time.

[color=purple]I think both would carry a certain amount of hurt and betrayal, but I think emotionally might be easier to bear since you can't exactly control how you feel about another person, and as long as that person doesn't act on it while still with you, then there's a chance you can still remain friends, if nothing else.[/color] [color=teal] I've never had a relationship with anyone so I can't say from experience.[/color]

I've been going out with my girlfriend for three years now. It'd break my heart if she were to do either. But I'd rather the emotional cheating, because if she cheated on me sexually, she might still come after me with "I didn't know what I was doing!" or "I was caught up in the moment, but I still love you."

At least I'd know she didn't love me anymore =\

Sexually. It's easier to rationalize in my head since it happens in 65% of marriages and also "normal" if you've lived in Japan for a bit. It's actually not that strange in Korea if you are cheated on sexually too, I don't know too much about the rest of the Asian countries but those two, definitely a lot of cheating going on and no one really blinks an eye. (of course it varies from person to person)

Having a spouse and a bf/gf on the side isn't strange in a lot of Asian countries so... meh. Not that I condone it or ever want it to happen but it's definitely easier to rationalize versus the idea.

I go with having to deal with the idea that the person I love prefers other people at night than during the day. Both is awful though.

Either would be grounds for separation for me, though I feel the second one isn't honestly possible. A real love takes a lot of time, effort, and hard work to achieve. What happens within the first few years is sort of a puppy love/lust/attraction. The only reason it ends up breaking/ruining relationships is due to the fact the relationship already eroded away with a lack of investment.

Sexually cheating (if not consented in the relationship...as there are some who swing and it's fine), to me though is a breech of trust. I had it happen with two previous girlfriends and forgave it, only to realize later that it was a mistake to do so. If the relationship has gone that far south, there's nothing left to salvage. It's best to move on, the trust is long gone by then.

Sexual cheating - Total no-no. I can't respect that person anymore. It doesn't matter if he still "loves" me the most.

Emotional cheating - It depends on the circumstances (how long it has been going on, why he is with me, how likely it is that he'll leave me for the other person). For instance, if the person he loves more is dead (uh, that's a little overdramatic, but you get the idea) and he's making a good faith effort to move on, I'm willing to give the relationship a chance.

Quote from Odette

For instance, if the person he loves more is dead

My (semi-ex) friend had that exact complex. Sure, the situation was tragic and all but...
It gets terribly irritating listening to her angst over it. It happened when she was in middle school, for goodness sake, and to the best of my knowledge she has not had a boyfriend since.

For as I am concerned, cheating is cheating.
The physical acts are still betraying my emotions. 🙁

I would have to say sexual.
If she sleeps with another guy, then there will be the "but, it didn't mean anything" speech ("I was drunk" etc...) Then, I could come back with the "Well I had sex with your sister last Christmas."* Chances are that I would still break up with her, but I would feel better about it.

The emotional thing would drive me crazy. It would probably take a while to get over that one. Just have to sleep around and forget her.**

*Doesn't have to be true...just make sure that you always know someone, who she hates, to say that you cheated on her with. After this, be sure cut all ties with her...you don't want to hear about that guy you always hated sleeping with her.

**If this happens, the you should really make the above happen. (just some friendly advice).

Sexually.
There are so many desirable people out there, it is a wonder most of these married people (or in serious relationships) can live monogamously in the first place.
But I doubt the emotional pain would be any less either way.
