Okay serious question

Emotional cheating is when you have an emotional connection with someone who isn’t your partner. If you’re channelling physical or emotional energy into this person while neglecting your partner, and talking about things that are kept secret from them, this can count as emotional cheating.

So what is it considered if you have an emotional connection with someone who isn’t your current partner, however your not neglecting your current partner your actually crying out to your partner for help and their the one neglecting you?
