Below you will find a list of discussions in the Adultery / Infidelity / Cheating on Partner forum at the Live Your Optimal Life to Heal Your Ailments Forum. Adultery, cheating and infidelity refers to an act of unfaithfulness to one’s husband, wife, or lover, whether it is sexual or emotional in nature. Infidelity is a violation of the mutually agreed-upon rules or boundaries of an intimate relationship, which constitutes a significant to extreme breach, or outright default, on the implicit good faith contract of a relationship, or a betrayal of core shared values with which the integrity and nature of the relationship is defined. There are two areas in a close relationship where infidelity mostly occurs: physical intimacy and emotional intimacy. Infidelity is not just about sex outside the relationship, but about trust, betrayal, lying and disloyalty. What makes infidelity so painful is the fact that it involves someone deliberately using deception to violate established expectations within a relationship. Emotional infidelity refers to emotional involvement with another person, which leads one’s partner to channel emotional resources such as romantic love, time, and attention to someone else. Even within an open relationship, infidelity may arise if a partner to the relationship acts outside of the understood boundaries of the relationship. Source: Wikipedia
