Obviously both would suck. I have no doubt both would leave me feeling devastated, and that's not an exaggeration. I'm rather emotional (although I don't always show it, or rather I rarely do) and my mood and how I feel is easily influenced.

In the end I suppose I can't decide, because either way I would get over it.. If they fell in love with someone else I'd just have to learn to support them, and if it was just physical they can have fun with them. I'm not sure there'd be anything I could really condone (nor condemn) if it was just a physical thing...

Of course if either of them happened the relationship would have to end. Hm......
Maybe I'm wrong... I guess despite how I'd feel I'd probably go for them falling for someone else.. Although it'd feel horrible and it may leave me feeling like I'm not good enough, I'd get over it.. And hopefully they would be happy in their new relationship (should there be one).

Wow, heavy question much? I'd rather be cheated on emotionally. You can't really blame someone if they fall out of love with you, and I think it'd be easier to break up if it were that way.

Why can't this topic about cheating on tests?

I'd rather not have a relationship at all.

hmm...probably emotionally. Breaking a relationship for sex is pretty horrible. Not because they found someone they love more than you, just for sex. Tells you a lot about how much they value the relationship, no?

I initially thought the topic was about cheating on tests. lol

Idk. I hope that my partner and I can reach a mutual decision to break up first before going to "cheat."

this has to be one of the toughest questions ive ever had to answer 😛
after thinking about this a lot...i think i prefer sexual cheating, but not for the reasons other people mentioned here
if my partner cheats on me sexually, it will be much easier for me to let go, because chances are, i'll grow to hate that person.
but if it was emotional cheating, i honestly dont think i'll be able to handle it. if its emotional then i cant blame him for his feelings. i'll have to accept it, which i doubt i can do, and since he was nice enough to not take things with the girl he loves to a sexual level while still being in a relationship with me; that will only make things harder.
i havent been cheated on before, but knowing myself im pretty sure that if the one i love fell in love with someone else it'll be extreeeeeemely difficult for me to move on, on the other hand if he sleeps with someone else it'll be extremely easy for me to end things and let go.

Wow, heavy question much?

I wouldn't say it's a heavy question so much as it's a flawed question, being that sexual cheating is the same thing as emotional cheating within the construct of a "normal" romantic relationship.

They're BOTH emotional cheating, the difference being that "sexual cheating" is an undeniable smoking gun, whereas "emotional cheating" usually has both partners deluding themselves to maintain a relationship: the one who "fell out of love" lies to his/herself about their feelings, and their partner knows it, yet denies it psychologically - both partners fear facing reality for whatever reason.

As an example, I have a cousin who was dating a man for... I don't know four years? Five? Anyway, this man proposed to her, she accepted and about a year later, they got married (on my birthday, no less). Nice ceremony too. Big guest list, good food, open bar, the whole nine yards.

Six months later, they got divorced. My cousin stating that she had major doubts about her feelings going into the wedding, but hid them for the sake of not disappointing everyone's expectations. So basically, she was afraid to deal with reality, and didn't wanna be play the fickle bride. Which, while I can understand that sentiment, I also ponder the amplified ramifications of throwing a pointless $20000-$30000 party, accepting various wedding donations/ gifts, and then saying half a year later "Jusssst kidding!" shrugs

In this regard, "sexual cheating" is much better since there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it, as it slams reality in your face whether you wanted to acknowledge it or not. (of course, some cheated losers will even deny this)

Sure, there's people out there who don't tie sexual pleasure with "love", but such people should seek a partner willing to commit to an open relationship to begin with.

I would prefer if someone was cheating sexually rather than emotionally.

I can understand " in the heat of the moment" ,"it's in our nature", or " I was drunk". It's just sex, and at least I know the person still cares about me.

Now emotional cheating that's something I don't want. That's a major hit to me, saying that I'm not the only one in that person's heart. Ouch. Then to be stuck with the possibility that the one you love doesn't love you the most. Again ouch. No no no no no, I would definitely prefer sexual cheating over emotional cheating. At least this way you can work it out if it's just sex, but emotional ... too complex to work out.

EDIT -

I feel like I should add more to my answer when I see the responses of "I'd choose emotionally" over sexually.

There are reasons why people would cheat. There are also different lines of what people consider to be cheating.

The way I see this subject. Yes, cheating sucks, but it happens. I even think it happens to those couples that have been together for 50+ years. Yes, you probably wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone if they did end up cheating on you.

Things to take into consideration. How long have you been with the person? If it's only been a short time, yeah kick that person to the curb. However, if you've been with that person for a long time are you really going to end the relationship if they had sexually cheated on you once? You're not even going to try to work it out? It really is just sex.
What if they were drunk? Oh sorry I'm going to end our relationship because you can't hold your liquor.
Heat of the moment? You're not attracted only to me, and acted on it, I must end this relationship because you think other people are attractive, and had a lapse in judgement.

I think it's in our nature to procreate as much as we can.
Everyone is also human we all make mistakes at one point or another, and sometimes you can't control sexual urges.

As to reasons why someone would cheat sexually, well that would be going a be off topic. However, those reasons just mean you need to work on something that is wrong in the relationship. I'm saying cheating is a result of a problem, not the problem itself.

Now to emotional cheating. This is one of those messier situations, and a case where you would want to end the relationship, no matter how long you've been together.
The "you can't help who you love" thing, I think is bull. If you're in love with someone you don't get to know other people and possibly fall in love with them. You'd be so caught up the one you love to even try to get to know someone else.
Now if you fell(ing) out of love with the person you're with chances are you would end the relationship. If you don't for some reason, hey that's something you should see if you can work out. ( reignite the spark, and whatnot.). If the route of emotional cheating happened, it's going to be a LONG drawn out excruciating period that would only end IF there's a breakup. You may start thinking oh at least he's not physically cheating on me, we can work this out, he's still committed to be, it's just a rough patch. (He is just a default for whatever gender in this case).
No like I said the emotional cheating is messy, and a lot more painful.

I'd definitely stick with my hormones out of control cheating over I still care about you, but someone else is also in my heart cheating.

I'd never forgive it either way.

But if I had to learn about the reason for it, I'd rather it be emotionally. If you're going to give up on a relationship just for sex, that's just no. Just tell the damn person you don't want them anymore or can't be monogamous or whatever. Emotionally, I can at least understand. It would be a bigger heartbreak (depending on how much you love the person) but you can't help who you fall in love with.

Pretty much this.

Both sucks, but the 2nd option will eventually lead to the 1st one,
So I’d rather have the 1st as long as its a one night stand and they‘re both drunk..
And I do not want him to do it inside..

Either ways, it'd be the end for us. I will not ever tolerate cheating.

Meh. I can't which one's better.

I don't know, it's a tough question.
By definition, cheating is a negative act.
If it's supposed to be a monogamous relationship, sleeping around is a betray of trust and just shows your partner doesn't really care about you.
If it's an open relationship, you can hardly regard it as cheating.
Also, "I was drunk/I felt like it"? Really? What kind of excuse is that? =/
That sounds like something guys usually say when they get the itch.
You know what they should do in a case like that? Fap.
"Feeling like it" is not a valid excuse. Sure, you can talk about it, and even forgive eventually, but won't that doubt nestle not so deep in your mind?

Emotional "cheating" is different, I think, but not better.
True, you can't control your emotions, but say you loved that person... And thought that person loved you back... But then they go and fall in love in somebody else? O RLY? If it boils down to that, then break-up is inevitable.

What I'm trying to say is... Cheating is cheating.
If you consider either to be cheating, then it's cheating to you.
If you can't trust your partner, it's a deal breaker, yo.
