Emotional Cheating Should Come as No Surprise. Here’s why and what you can do about it.
This comes from a reply to a post I made on Facebook about cheating.
The specific post I replied to was:
Cheating isn’t just sex. If you have to delete text messages or put a password on your phone because you don’t want your spouse to see what you have been looking at online…that is cheating. When you have to lie, cover up, omit or hide things, that is a relationship waiting to fall apart and be destroyed. The sad thing about it is that when the house starts falling apart, your selfish choices affect more people than just you. Your spouse, your kids, both sides of the family, and even future generations can be affected by your choices. You can’t have intimacy without honesty. /// end post
That post got 380 likes, loves, and heart hugs.
I don’t disagree. But it did make me pause and here’s why.
Since the dawn of social media, our ability to have emotional connections have changed. It’s changed on many different levels. We’re not just talking old high school connections from Facebook anymore. It goes further into gaming and will one day be virtual reality. We will be able to connect in ways beyond in-person, video, or phone even. We will virtually be able to be with anyone, in any way.
