Which one is worse, an emotional or a physical affair? (Page 2)

[lanabug]

Emotional is worse assuming I'm in love with them. In the relationship, i value our emotional connection over our physical. A Physical affair just makes me insecure.

[midnightmoon05]

i say both...

i wish non of that stuff happens... feelings being hurt is sad...

[mirrornoon]

I dunno; I voted emotional but I can see why physical would be worst. Both are wicked ways to treat a partner who loves you

[Danny_dan92]

Physical of course, but an emotional affair isn’t right either. Regardless if you find yourself talking to someone else, you should reconsider your relationship and simply decide to end it

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Both are bad, but emotional is more of a thing that is harder to control than physical.

[Pamina]

It's a mystery to me how emotional cheating is not clearly far worse than physical cheating.

[SketchForger]

Emotional. Because as soon as he/she is conditioned to emotional abuse, they will take physical abuse very easily and see it as nothing.

[Asker]

You must have mistaken the question, it is about emotional or physical affair aka cheating.

[SketchForger]

Emotional.

At least with physical I know it was something instinctual and I didn't really do anything to cause it.

[Just_Me89]

If I had to pick, I's say emotional.
Having your partner fall in love with someone else whilst they're with you is so much worse than them just chasing an orgasm.

[DakotaNorth]

Some underestimate the emotional affair but it hurt me tremendously all the time and attention an ex girlfriend spent with someone else. It would have been better if they fucked and got it over with.

[John_Doesnt]

Emotional affair is uncontrollable, so it's not really a bad thing. Physical affair however is a choice.

[Gedaria]

When your emotions are involved it is always hard to break free. But physical is just a act , like going with a prostitute ...

[gorman24]

Both are terrible. Cheating is defintely bad if you aren't attracted to your partner anymore have the decency to break it off.

[Anonymous]

Based on how women react: whatever kind of affair the man is in is the worst. If she had the affair, YOU GO GIRL

[Anonymous]

Depends on the person I suppose. Most guys have affairs for physical reasons. Girls like emotional connection more.

[SentientBrick]

Don't both tie into each other? Like two sides of a coin?

[Liam_Hayden]

If you are in a monogamous, committed relationship and give either affection to another it is equally bad.

[chrisbigman]

If I had to choose, I think emotional affairs are a little more worse than physical.

[RedThread]

It doesn't matter. Why compare them? They're both bad things to do to someone.

[jessicarosen]

They can all be equally as negative as far as consequences.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Actions speaks louder than words so physical affair

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Physical affair actually hurts me emotionally tho not physically.
