Emotional Cheating Options

[LoveToMySilas]

One person describes it as,

Often worse than physically cheating as love isn't about physical closeness but emotional closeness.

There was an article about it in Seventeen magazine that said:

-If you're more excited when your "crush" IMs/texts you than when your boyfriend/girlfriend does.
-You talk to them on a daily basis whether it be via online, phone or in real life.
-You tell them just about everything.
-Being "friendly" without physically having to touch them.

Have you guys ever emotionally cheated?

The western ideal of romance is so unrealistic and oppressive. That a single person could entirely fulfill another's intellectual, sexual, and emotional satisfaction is absurd. By suggesting that even the mere emotional outlets one has from a relationship constitutes cheating is inflammatory bullshit.

If people weren't so stupid, insecure, and superstitious, maybe this bullshit could end. But, instead, they write this sort of shit in teen magazines and suddenly... if he isn't talking to you, he's cheating and hates your guts. Psychic death, anyone?

I fully agree.
