Infidelity in a relationship: How to enjoy and not cheat at the same time?
According to the latest statistics, infidelity is one of the most common reasons for relationship break-ups. Many tend to cheat on the other for various motives. Sometimes it is due to dissatisfaction, other times it is due to anger, but of course the reasons can be far more varied. When we look more closely at infidelity, we find that there is no such thing as infidelity. Of course, we are talking about a very subjective phenomenon that everyone has their own opinion on, but when couples set some sort of boundaries, there is also infidelity that can help the relationship.
Physical and emotional infidelity - it destroys relationships
But let's start with the infidelity that is really the cheating. We're talking about the physical and the emotional. Ironically, the latter is more painful for the partner because it builds on deep feelings, whereas the physical act is all about physicality, not falling in love with the other person.
And while we're on the subject of physicality, or physical infidelity, we must mention the so-called monogamy that has divided society in recent months. We are talking about a relationship in which sexual partners can take turns, but those emotions are only held to one. But as mentioned, this is perhaps one of the boundaries that people set in relationships.
Dreaming and fantasizing is allowed
On the other hand, infidelity is out of the question if it is just daydreaming or fantasizing. Of course, this type is not to be underestimated either, but it is not the classic infidelity for which we should leave our partner. Rather, it is just an indication that one is not satisfied in the current relationship.
But again, experts urge not to underestimate fantasizing either. Sexual fantasies come in moments of dissatisfaction, as mentioned, and drive people to dishonest and perhaps even dangerous behavior that could completely break up an otherwise perfectly functioning relationship.
Having sex with a doll - infidelity or not?
It can't be considered infidelity when gentlemen resort to a doll for sex or sex doll. While it is true that they may look like real women nowadays, and that they can even order them to their liking, these intimate pleasures cannot be considered typical infidelity. Rather, women may consider it a form of training and also a relief that they have not jumped into bed with a real being, but "only" with a sex toy for men.
Many experts are even of the opinion that we shouldn't be afraid to incorporate doll sex into regular sex. Especially if the relationship is a bit lagging in terms of intimacy, it's a good idea to incorporate something new to spice up the sex, such as threesomes in bed. And such a sex doll is an ideal candidate who, moreover, will not tell anyone about what went on in the bedroom (nor will she object to any suggested position).
Heather can also occur in social media environments
Increasingly common is insecurity on social media. Whether or not this is cheating on a partner depends not only on the degree or manner of execution, but also on the individual's perspective. We could say that this infidelity can be divided into two types, namely, sexual infidelity (looking for another person on a dating site), and the other, which consists in giving preference to the profile over the partner.
In the latter case in particular, we come back to square one, namely so-called emotional infidelity, as we have a deeper relationship with our phone or social profile than with our partner/partner. And at that point, we can talk about infidelity, specifically the emotional one.
From a slightly different barrel
We should close the list of types of infidelity with what is known as financial infidelity, which is also increasingly common in relationships. We are talking about a situation when dishonesty on the financial side destroys a relationship. Not informing your partner about financial matters such as various decisions or just routine spending. While this cannot be considered infidelity, many do indeed consider it cheating, though of course one is under no obligation to tell the other anything regarding their own money.
