4 Forms Of ¢нєαтιиg In Relationships That Don’t Involve Being Physical
¢нєαтing in a relationship can take many forms. What you may consider harmless and innocent can actually be very offensive and hurtful to your partner.
Below are six forms of ¢нєαтing in a relationship that do not involve physical intercourse.
1. You flirt online and offline
In many ways, the Internet facilitates the same type of relationships we have in real life. Nevertheless, anonymous online flirting, like offline flirting, is still an adventure.
2. You cross the line with strangers
Emotional infidelity is as dangerous as adultery because it is intense, but invisible. Sure, you may love your partner, but when some of your small actions cross the line into infidelity, you risk losing an important person in your life. Even if it’s invisible, infidelity can be the most painful form of deception for your partner.
3. Keeping secrets
In fact, some people say that keeping secrets of any kind is a form of ¢нєαтing, whether it’s having a “private text conversation” with someone else, spending money in secret, or doing anything behind closed doors. The real question is: Why keep a secret? Why not just admit what is attractive and go with it? Or find ways to compromise?
4. Flirting or friendship with someone else
It’s ¢нєαтing to secretly flirt with someone when you’re away from your partner. You have a secret friend. You may feel that this special friend could threaten your relationship and you don’t want to admit it. What about a deep, chatty friendship with someone other than your partner?
