Love, Lies, and Digital Connections: The Rise of Emotional Infidelity

The relationship is like a mesmerizing skyscraper. Whose foundation bed is trust, and elegant bricks are regarded as love. Without it, that skyscraper can fall in minutes or seconds. Love is a bunch of feelings and emotions. It relies on a trust that is thicker than a volcano and thinner than a human hair. It is just as sensitive as of mirror.
But what if someone shatters that little tiny thing into pieces of betrayal? Physical intimacy is now not enough to be faithful in a relationship, but being emotionally attached to your partner, making them your first priority, is all you need for a perfect relationship.

It all starts with sudden things that you didn’t feel like cheating at first, like prioritizing them as your go-to person, communicating with them, and sharing about your life or relationship problems. It gradually builds emotional chemistry between both of you. That’s the point when you step into emotional infidelity.
Emotional cheating can leave the marks of betrayal and insecurities for a lifetime when founded. It could be the biggest nightmare for a healthy relationship. Though, it could be the consequence of ongoing toxic and suffocating relations with your spouse. However, the boundary of emotional detachment differs from couple to couple due to the set norms of multiple people.

What Causes Emotional Infidelity?

Eventually, it starts with making a new friend or introducing a third person in a relationship and gradually having a soft corner for them. Chats full of filthy comments and passing a smile while chatting. Feeling butterflies and cozy about them and then investing more intimate emotions into that particular alliance.
The feeling of neglect and misunderstanding from your spouse could be the turning ground for emotional affairs. These components lead to detachment and reflection towards the imposter for the sake of pleasure and emotional support resulting in a lack of intimacy and desire for your consort.

Can a Marriage Survive Infidelity?

For optimistic marriage, emotional intimacy is an important factor as physical affinity. Infidelity, be it physical or emotional, can lead to a hell of a relationship changing the entire dynamics of a marriage. The whole case of survival after an affair lies on ifs and buts.
Since trust and intimacy are what make a relationship a conjugal bliss, betraying a spouse could leave scars forever on marriages. According to a psychological therapist, marriages don’t last once the infidelity secret comes out. However, there could be a space for forgiveness, but forgetting the past and trusting again in the betrayal doesn’t sound good from the victim's perspective.
