Emotional cheating is VERY real. It is where a person in a relationship has FEELINGS for another person and acts on those feelings without the sexual part. For example: A relationship is not all about sex. It is also about the feelings and "little things" that goes with it, such as being romantic, sending gifts and cards, thinking of that person a lot, wanting to be with the person, flirting, dressing nicer or having sexual thoughts and/or conversations with the person. Once a person in a relationship starts doing these kinds of things for another person, it is emotional cheating. If someone's partner does not know he or she is behaving this way or feeling this way towards another person, then that is emotional cheating. Real friends don't behave this way with friends. This kind of behavior is reserved for the couple to share. Sharing these things behind your partner's back with someone else is emotional cheating. It hurts your relationship at home and your partner CAN feel this odd behavior going on. The partner at home is being deceived, disrespected and humiliated. Sex is NOT the only way to cheat. Kissing is cheating. Flirting with people or exchanging numbers is cheating. If you want to be cheat-free, always conduct yourself with others as if your partner were right there with you to see how you interact with others or if your partner could read your emails or texts. If you are doing these things and would NOT want your partner to see it, then you are not being very faithful, and it jst might be emotional cheating. Having feelings of more than friendship for someone and having secrets while you are in a relationship is emotional cheating. EMOTIONAL CHEATING IS JUST AS DAMAGING AND DISRESPECTFUL AS SEXUAL CHEATING. It hurts the person you are with. Want to FIX it? GET RID OF THE OTHER PERSON. Sorry. MUST be done in order to survive that and to MOVE ON. You can't be friends with that third wheel even if it was emotional cheating. Hope this answers this question.

chigirl agony auntIt's when you have an affair with someone, but you don't touch them or have physical contact. Such as when you have cybersex with someone online, or an online boyfriend, when you have a boyfriend in real life. It can also be when you choose to spend more time and energy on another person, or being in love with another person, while you are in a relationship. You aren't physically cheating, because you are not having sex, but you are acting as if you are in a relationship with this other person. Doing relationship things, for example spending more time with them, going on trips with them on a regular basis being alone with them, taking them out to dinner or doing couples things, while your real boyfriend or girlfriend is left alone at home.

In short, emotional cheating is to put another person other than your real boyfriend or girlfriend, in the place where your boyfriend or girlfriend should have been, in your heart and mind. It is to have an affair without the sex.

Having feelings for another person... Telling this person you have feelings for them when you are in a relationship... Pretty much anything you know your SO wouldn't like that's not physical.
