Can you forgive emotional cheating? Is it something that you can forget and let go?

The physical cheat is not so terrible as the emotional one because our bodies sometimes need it and there is nothing wrong about it.But when it comes to the point that you are emotionally connected with somebody you should leave your previous relation.

For me... I always try to forgive because I that I want from anyone else do to me :) And for me emotional cheating is something that I can let go not to forget.

Of course I will only be able to know for sure when I'm in that situation, but I don't think I would be able to. I think emotional cheating would be even more of a problem for me that physical cheating. So I think it would be basically impossible to forgive it. When it comes to cheating, people can really have a problem with emotional cheating, or physical cheating - or both. For me, the emotional part would hurt me more and would leave a deeper scar.

Life is not black and white so it is a difficult question to answer. Forgiveness is not always easy but it is the only way one can regain peace of mind. You can forgive someone but no longer be in a relationship with them. It does depend on the incident and how both parties feel. If there is a loss of trust it can be earned back but it is a lengthy process and sometimes a futile one. I would like to think that I can forgive and let go for my own benefit, if I could continue with the liaison that’s another story...

what kind of emotional cheating?? i am not sure what are you talking about? is it a guy or girl cheating on each other and ends up in a break up..then you're asking if it's ready to let go of the emotion of that painful feeling?

No. Physical cheating is forgivable. But emotional ones, I think it becomes a bit difficult to trust the person again.

It all depends on the background of the person and how they make me feel in the relationship. I would rather them to cheat that way than to actually cheat on me. I still do not think it should happen though. They should move on if they are not happy.

Speaking of emotional cheating. I can forgive it after a long time, but it's not that easy, it takes longer for meto let that heart aches go. And i just move on.

I think for me it depends entirely in the situation. If i found my partner had been flirting with some girl who lived millions of miles away on the internet then sure i would be pissed but i know there would be nothing in it, unless i found evidence otherwise. If it were someone closer to home then i would be even more pissed but it also depends on your situation and what you have to lose, you have to weigh up whether its worth it or not?
