Is this considered emotional cheating?

5 Comments

I've been dating my girlfriend for about ten months, and I started really forming an attraction to person X about midway through. I never acted on it, I'm really strict about relationship boundaries, but I definitely have liked X for a while and want to be with them. I have a class with X and we talk a lot, hang out, and play on the same sports team, and we are very close, but I only recently started having feelings for them. I don't believe they have any romantic attraction to me though, we are just very close buds. Is this considered emotional cheating because I've wanted X for so long while with my girlfriend?

    Emotional cheating sounds like something Dr. Phil would come up with, meaning retarted.

    You should really either dumb your gf or tell her the truth how would you feel if your gf had feelings for someone else.

    I'm not really sure what emotional cheating is. Is it not the same thing as a close friendship? So people arent allowed to have friendships with the same sex they're attracted to? I think as long as you maintain boundaries and don't neglect your significant other in lieu of your friend you should be fine.
