Emotional / Physical, which one sucks more Options

[roxyy]

Ok so cheating in general sucks, but which one do you think hurts more emotional or physical cheating?

im kinda leaning on the emotional side but then again idk. i think in some ways it can be pretty even.

This may sound ridiculous, but I think I would be more pissed about physical cheating. It's the biggest slap in the face that someone you care about did something so irresponsible knowing it would hurt you. Sure, it was just a one time thing and it didn't mean anything, but if that's true, why do it in the first place? You have total control over the situation - don't get totally wasted, don't give in to temptation, basically just don't be a douchebag, right? This is where I realize I'm dating an immature bastard who doesn't know how to handle himself properly, and I don't want anything to do with him.

Emotional cheating is different. If a person is truly devoted to you and loves you, they would never even consider going off and getting attached to another person. When this does happen, it happens by accident in that they don't expect to suddenly develop feelings for this other person, but it's a clear sign that they don't care for you the way you thought they did (and maybe even they thought they did). It hurts like hell to love someone and then suddenly find out they don't feel the same way; however, it gives closure. You know for sure now that it can never work out with this person because they don't love you the way they should. I would say this hurts more, but both are definitely deal-breakers for me.
