"How to Deal with Emotional Cheating" by 12 Week Relationships.

 

This post discusses the signs of emotional cheating, how to cope with it if it happens to you, and how to prevent it from happening in the first place

• Recognize the signs of emotional cheating. This can be difficult, as emotional cheating can be more subtle than physical cheating. Some signs to look out for include:
• Spending more and more time with the other person, even when you're not supposed to be together.
• Keeping secrets from you about their relationship with the other person.
• Feeling more connected to the other person than to you.
• Talking to the other person about their personal problems, but not to you.
• Feeling more emotionally invested in the other person than in you.

• Talk to your partner about what's happening. This can be a difficult conversation, but it's important to be honest with each other about how you're feeling. Let your partner know that you're aware of the emotional cheating and that it's causing you pain.
• Ask your partner to stop the emotional cheating. If your partner is willing to stop the emotional cheating, then you can start to work on rebuilding your relationship. However, if your partner is not willing to stop, then you may need to make a decision about whether or not to stay in the relationship.
• Take care of yourself. Dealing with emotional cheating can be very stressful and emotionally draining. It's important to take care of yourself during this time. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise. Spend time with friends and family who support you.
• Seek professional help. If you're struggling to cope with emotional cheating, you may want to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor. They can help you to understand your feelings and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

Here are some tips on how to prevent emotional cheating from happening in the first place:

• Communicate openly and honestly with your partner. Talk about your needs and expectations for the relationship. Be honest about your feelings and be willing to listen to your partner's feelings.
• Spend quality time together. Make time for each other each day, even if it's just for a few minutes. Go on dates, do activities together, and talk about your day.
• Be supportive of each other. Be there for each other through thick and thin. Be a shoulder to cry on and a sounding board for each other's problems.
• Trust each other. Trust is essential for a healthy relationship. Trust that your partner will be faithful to you and that they will always have your best interests at heart.

If you're concerned about emotional cheating, it's important to talk to your partner about your fears and concerns. Communication is key to any healthy relationship.
