I chose "Emotional" because I assumed you meant "cheating" and not "abuse". If you meant "abuse", I choose "Adultery". But, IMO, emotional cheating is THE WORST.

I agree about the emotional cheating. If my spouse/partner were confiding their secrets, thoughts, dreams, feelings, etc., to another it would hurt the most and be the most unforgivable.

Emotional cheating is the type of cheating that most women find more destructive for their relationship. Women know that there are many other attractive women out there and that men are very visually stimulated by nature. Not that this condones sexual cheating, but it is well known that some men have a hard time controlling their sexual desires.
The situation is more hurtful to a woman when her partner finds someone else whose personality he enjoys more. She often sees this as a sign that she no longer is interesting to him and that she is not fulfilling his emotional needs.

This is also the type of cheating that has less rigid boundaries. It's easy to tell if someone is cheating sexually -- they are either having sex or they aren't -- but what defines emotional cheating from a woman's point of view?

One example would be if a man were to regularly take one particular coworker out to lunch or dinner meetings. In most cases, it would be safe to assume that she offers him more than just a discussion about work. She is probably also providing him with emotional companionship, giving him an opportunity to share his thoughts and feelings.

Men who are cheating emotionally often begin to question whether or not they should be seeing that one particular woman as much as they are. They know deep down inside that she means more to them than just a regular female friend would and thus feel a degree of guilt for seeing her.

So when a man enjoys the company of a woman "too much", he's cheating?


Sorry, what you describe doesn't sound like cheating to me at all.
