Happy November, ladies and gentlemen. Hope your Halloween 2k10 was a success.
I don't know if I've blogged about this before...if I have, forgive me.
Often times, when we think of cheating, we think of a physical act--kissing someone else, having sex with someone else, etc. And, in my humble opinion which is the only one that matters on this blog, those things certainly qualify as cheating. But, as my friends and I have recently discussed, there is such a thing as emotional cheating.
So, what's worse...a kiss with a stranger or an emotional connection with a new found friend?
Some people would say cheating is cheating. Others, like myself, would say there are different levels of cheating. A drunken kiss with some person you don't know at a club doesn't hit as high on the scale as building a connection/intense flirtation with a "friend."
The thing is, we don't want to see past cheating as purely physical, especially when we are in relationships. However, hanging out with someone, texting them frequently, laughing, and establishing an emotional bond can be more detrimental to a relationship than just making out with some harlot on the dance floor one night. No, the drunken kiss isn't excusable, but perhaps it is far more forgivable than giving your time and attention to someone else.
Cheating, kids. It's not as simple as it seems.
Hmm...sounds like a tag line for an after school special. :pats self on back:
Love freely,
