Cheating is not just a matter of hanging out with other people, you know. The reason is, the definition of cheating can vary from person to person. What you think includes cheating, maybe according to your partner not cheating. Vice versa. Therefore, you and your partner must both agree on what types of infidelity are unacceptable in your relationship. As an illustration, here are the five most common types of infidelity.
What types of cheating should you be aware of?
1. Cheating at the office
You certainly have close friends with whom you can complain and share stories, whether you are friends with girls or boys or just the opposite sex to you. For example, a friend at work or a friend on a project that makes you spend a lot of time together. You can be close to him of course because he has a lot in common and a style of speech that suits you. However, this can turn out to be a danger if you are unable to control the communication you build, especially if you get carried away by feelings.
You may often exchange each other's personal secrets. However, if you let go of talking about sensitive things or even your partner's secrets, be careful. Especially if you and your friends are both having problems with their respective partners and giving each other emotional support, this also risks opening the gates of infidelity.
The solution is quite simple. Make sure your partner knows what your activities are while at the office, including who your closest friends are. In addition, limit unnecessary forms of communication with your workmates, including disclosing personal secrets.
2. Cheatingon line
In addition to being addictive, it turns out that the internet opens up opportunities for infidelity. Whether it's with friends, acquaintances, or even strangers. The reason is, it is very easy for you to have an intimate relationship with someone on line because you don't have to come face to face. Because you don't need to meet face to face, you don't feel so guilty towards your partner, even though in fact this is still wrong because it violates your partner's trust.
Several studies have shown that this type of cheating online can be as devastating as cheating in the real world. The reason is, both of them trigger feelings of discomfort, anger, and jealousy.
3. Flirt with other people
Maybe you have met a man or woman while waiting in line at the bank and they seem to 'flirt' with you or flirting. If you are hooked and tease back, it means that you are opening up opportunities for cheating.
4. Addiction to porn or sex toys
Porn films and sex toys indeed not human, but that doesn't mean you can't be said to be "cheating". This is due to pornographic films and sex toys are two things that are often addictive. So, why watching porn is an affair? This is because addiction to porn movies can have a negative impact on your passion for your partner. You will prefer the sexual fantasies of porn scenes than with your partner. As a result, your sex life becomes threatened.
How about addiction sex toys and the connection with cheating? The more often you use sex toys instead of your own partner, the more likely you will feel that your satisfaction has been fulfilled with an unrealistic inanimate object. So you feel you don't need a partner to satisfy your sexual life.
5. Dreaming of an ex or other person
What's wrong with dreaming? Though you can't manage it, can you? Eits, wait a minute. If you constantly dream or fantasize about other men or women, this is a warning sign.
The reason is, the more often you dream of other people than your partner, this means you tend to think of men or women besides your partner. Well, this can be a type of cheating with the heart, aka cheating on feelings.
