Could You Forgive Your SO for emotionally cheating?

Question

Answer

I would not forgive my SO for cheating. Physically or otherwise. 
That being said, i agree its completely okay to have emotional connections with other people amd have absolutely seen people try to use this to control thwir partners. 
I just dont find it okay to have romantic emotional connections with other people and there is a difference a lot of people ignore.

Answer

Emotional cheating isn’t a thing in our relationship. I feel like people use “emotional cheating” as an excuse to be toxic and say their partner can’t have friends. There’s nothing wrong with having an emotional connection with someone other than your partner. If he cheated, it would be a deal breaker.

Answer

I was with someone who physically and emotionally cheated. And it's fair to say the emotional cheating was worse.

Answer

what is emotional cheating?

Answer

I think it would depend on how our marriage was doing before the “emotional cheating” started & what the nature of the emotional connection was. For example if I thought everything was going great in our marriage & my husband never told me he felt something was missing & then he started calling/texting & hanging out with another woman more than he was spending time with me & then their messages/talk grew romantic/sexual (even though they never actually physically did anything) & he hid it all from me I would probably not forgive that or try to work through it. 
If we had hit a rough patch & maybe he was dealing with something that he thought I wouldn’t understand or that we were fighting about & he sought out a female friend to vent to & they spent a lot of time together but he was honest about how he was feeling distanced from me, I would probably try counseling so we could try to reconnect & mend our relationship.
