When it comes to cheating, what is worse?

    In your opinion, what do you think you would consider more worse, physically cheating on someone or emotionally cheating on someone? Have you ever been cheated on, or have you ever cheated on someone, in either way?

    Emotionally cheating would be the worst to me. Physically cheating is terrible, but when it comes down to it, it was just sex. It didn't mean anything. But if emotions are involved, that means your partner has feelings for someone else, and no longer you. I would prefer that both types of cheaters stay away from me, though.

    I agree emotionally cheating is worse because now its like you're stuck between two people.Sometimes its not intended and things sometimes just happen. but then the problem becomes bigger because its like your stuck in the middle.
    unfortunately, i have cheated before to get back at my ex for cheating on me. i look back on it as childish but i never want to make that decision again because i
    want to be a truthful and honest person even if someone else is not.

    If someone 'emotionally cheats, then he or she is not honest with the other or with themselves. Making them believe feelings he or she does not have or have anymore.
    'physically cheating' is an act upon a sudden desire or attraction... but by respect for the other, who you are suppose to be honest with (that's only but a choice), i believe it's better to say it.
    Which is worse? That depends with who you are.
    i've been 'physically' cheated on, and i have 'physically' cheated on someone. But i've always been honest about it, and it has never broken a relationship. If i am to 'emotionally cheat' on someone, then i'll end it. Because it would be lying to the other about what i feel. But that's only my opinion.

    Any kind of cheating is horrible! i have been physical cheated on before and that sucks but to me any kind of cheating is still cheating and both are wrong.

    Any form of cheating is horrible but if I had to choose I would say emotionally cheating on someone would be the worse.

    If my bf was emotionally attached to someone that would mean he's more comfortable talking to her instead of talking to me. He trusts the other girl and would rather run to her and tell her how he's feeling. He's practically falling in love with the other girl and that's something you can't change.

    Physically cheating on someone is just physical. It's just sex, it's nothing like deep emotional attachment. You can have sex with anyone but falling in love with someone, that just happens. I think it would hurt more knowing my bf fell in love with another girl than knowing he had a one night stand, ya know?

    Emotionally because then you have a connestion with the person, in physical it's mainly only about sex

    Which is worse?

    I don't think that is a very practical question to ask. Seeing as I wouldn't ever want either of them to happen to me.

    Phsyical cheating would become emotional. If my boyfriend slept with someone else, I would wonder what is wrong with me. I would be afriad that he got bored with me, or doesn't see certain things in me.

    I have been cheated once in the past, and to b honest at the time, both were of equal measure. its singlehandedly the worst thing someone can u to u, because most of the time, your partner only tells u the truth, when u get suspicious and ask question,

    Both are terrible and there is no excuse for both of them. But, I have to say I would take more of a blow if it was emotional. Because, then there is not much hope. I would never personally date someone who had feelings for someone else. So definatly emotional. Physically, would suck too and I wouldn't stand that either, but emotionally would be slightly worse for me. I have never been cheated on, hopefully never will. I have never cheated on anyone and never will.

    Any form of cheating is horrible and the most painful thing a partner can do to you, no matter what kind it is. I've been physically cheated on a few times by a few guys and when it happened...I could not imagine a greater pain than the kind I was feeling. I'm ashamed to say that I've done both kinds of cheating as well though, physical and emotional. The guilt of doing that was enough to make me never do it again knowing the pain I'd just caused.

    Both hurt but emotionally cheating is worse, it may not mean that you don't love your partner but it means you love someone else as well. It means it's been happening for a while and building.

    Physically cheating is really painful, but emotionally cheating hurts way worse. it means your partner doesn't just have feelings for you, and they don't belong to just you. you're sharing them with someone else, because their heart isn't completely in it. You can physically cheat without having feelings for someone. It would be stupid to do so, but it's possible.
