Physical cheating or emotional cheating, which betrayal hurts more in a relationship? Know from the expert

In this viral clip of the show, Kajol and Twinkle said that even if someone commits a physical mistake, it may be a one-time thing, but emotional cheating breaks the heart and trust. Karan Johar also said that emotional attachment is more dangerous because it shakes the foundation of the relationship. People were divided on this matter on social media and a debate started on it. Many people are calling both of them wrong. If yes, then many people are saying that emotional cheating is more wrong. Now the question is, is emotional cheating really worse? Let us know about this from relationship experts.

Relationship expert Ruchi Rooh told India Today That couples often recover after a physical affair, but it is very difficult to bring back trust in a relationship after emotional betrayal. Many couples come to therapy not because their partner has had physical relations with someone, but because they feel that their partner has abandoned them emotionally. In today’s era, social media, chatting and online connections have made emotional affairs easier. Many times things start with friendship and gradually turn into emotional dependence. People open up more than their partners in WhatsApp chats or late night conversations and this invisible deception makes the relationship hollow.

According to experts, it is not that today’s couples have accepted physical cheating. The only difference is that now people have started talking openly on these issues. In earlier times too, affairs used to happen, but due to fear and shame of the society, no one spoke openly about them. Nowadays, openness has increased, but the pain and impact on relationships is the same as before. Today’s generation has started understanding the difference between emotional and physical loyalty. In reality, both types of infidelity stem from the same root – emotional distance, unfulfilled desires and poor communication. When trust and connection are low in a relationship, the possibility of both types of cheating increases.

Relationship experts believe that communication, emotional connection and trust are most important in any relationship. If you feel that your partner is moving away, then first talk, share your feelings openly. Not every relationship is perfect, but broken trust can be rebuilt with honesty and communication. Even if any kind of cheating happens, talk to each other about it and try to move forward. For this you can also get counseling from an expert.
