Which would hurt more? If your partner was having a purely sexual affair (just sex no emotions) or a purely emotional affair (no sex just emotions)?

A purely sexual affair would hurt more (no emotions involved, just sex)

A purely emotional affair would hurt more (no sex involved, only emotions)

Both are betrayals, just in different ways, but emotional would hurt more.

Physical can be impulsive, but emotional means they invested time, attention, and a part of themselves that was supposed to belong within the relationship.

At that point, it’s not just about what they did, it’s about where their loyalty truly was.

Well said.

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship drama like this and keep your heart safe 💋

The emotional affair hurts way more. Sex without feelings is betrayal of the body, but an emotional affair is betrayal of the soul. Sharing secrets, deep talks, comfort, inside jokes, that “you’re my person” vibe with someone else? That’s falling in love territory and a massive red flag. Sex can be a mistake. Emotions are an investment.

They would hurt me equally: Not at all.

Purely sexual

Emotions I can understand. Sexual cheating is much harder to forgive.
