How you handle an emotional infidelity in your relationship is up to you. If the relationship was on the rocks to begin with, the infidelity may be a blessing in disguise. If the relationship was on solid ground when the infidelity occurred then you need to figure out the level of damage it caused and then react accordingly. If the relationship was good to begin with the devastation will be enormous and the energy expended to try to save it will be just as enormous.
Apologize one more time for being stupid, realize that it is never alright to hurt someone that badly and they are still trying to deal with the devastation they felt. It is so difficult to come back completely from an emotional infidelity.
How you handle an emotional infidelity in your relationship is up to you. You obviously have several options, not the least of which is ending the relationship.
Personally, I believe anything that takes the love away from the one you say you love and you freely give it to someone else, is cheating. If it is a physical infidelity or an emotional infidelity, doesn’t matter. Cheating is cheating.
If the relationship was on the rocks to begin with, the infidelity may be a blessing in disguise. It will definitely be the final blow, though so do not even try to salvage this relationship.
To the one who had the emotional affair – prepare yourself to have your little transgression thrown in your face every time the two of you have a disagreement. What you did was huge and even though the two of you may save your relationship, it is going to hurt the other one for a long time. I apologized every chance I got, we saved the relationship and they said they forgave me.
What you did was huge and even though the two of you may save your relationship, it is going to hurt the other one for a long time.
When the infidelity occurred then you need to figure out the level of damage it caused and then react accordingly, if the relationship was on solid ground. And we have all heard the adage, “for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.” , if the relationship was good to begin with the devastation will be enormous and the energy expended to try to save it will be just as enormous.
The question is, what happens when you find out your mate is having an emotional affair, or any kind of affair for that matter? Do you kick them to the curb or do you try to salvage the relationship? Do you even have the strength to try to save it?
