Can emotional cheating save your dying relationship?

We all know physical cheating is seen as the worst form of cheating, right? But does that mean emotional cheating is less hurtful? Definitely not. For many ‘the affair of the heart’ is worse than physical cheating because it means things went beyond a one night stand and this can be more detrimental to certain relationships. But some relationship experts feel that it can be used to mend, improve (or even take the final call) in your existing relationship.
No relationship is perfect. Every relation has its own flaw and as time grows, partners find out that their existing partner cannot fulfill all their emotional or physical needs. And that’s where, experts feel, comes emotional infidelity that enables you to measure the strength and need of your current relationship.
While it may not sound right, but just like one friend cannot fulfill all your needs, same can be said about some romantic relationships too. Love is sometimes not enough and when you leave the nagging spaces lingering for too long, they take ugly turns, making your relationship crumble to pieces. So emotional cheating in a way helps you test waters of your primary relationship without crossing the line.

So let’s understand what emotional cheating is. It is something that does not have physical intimacy but involves long phone calls, flirtatious messages, and even fantasizing about the person in private space.

If you are planning to end a relationship, emotional cheating helps you experience how life will be after you step out, without taking the extreme step. Alternatively, if your partner does not make you feel attractive, but you don’t want to leave the relationship, getting it from outside can feel good, if you don’t want to put your current relationship in trouble.

Emotional cheating can also help you overcome and recover from your partner’s physical cheating.

For many people, emotional cheating is sort of a cry for help. It helps you examine your relationship and helps you decide whether you want to continue in the primary relationship or it is time for you to call it quits.

Having said that, this may not work for all. Sometimes emotional cheating can wreck relationships in ways that physical cheating cannot. So measure your options and tread carefully.
