Infidelity is very poisonous to the health of a relationship. It can cut short the lifespan of a very promising relationship. When one partner cheats on the other, irreparable damage is caused. It destroys the foundation of the relationship; trust, and once this is broken, it is hard and, at times, near impossible to re-establish.
Generally, people attach infidelity to physically or sexually cheating on your partner with another person. However, emotional infidelity is another form of infidelity that has destructive effects on a relationship. It is when someone is emotionally intimate with someone other than their partner.
This affects the relationship as the other person emotionally detaches from the partner because attention is somewhat divided. So, are you experiencing emotional infidelity?
