1. emotional infidelity
You don't sleep with them, but you think of them before bed. You tell them all the happy and sad things, instead of your partner. This is a type of affair that is easily overlooked but causes deep hurt, because it takes away the inherent intimacy of the person they are living with.
Easy to recognize signs
- Always want to text and chat with that person every day.
- Hiding these interactions with your partner.
- Often think about that person when you are not together.
2. Physical infidelity
This is the most traditional form of Adultery - where the body betrays the oath of marriage. However, in the era of more open relationships, many people do not consider this the worst thing, if it is just a one-night love affair without affection.
3. micro- lovemaking
You are still in a committed relationship, but the following symptoms are considered signs of micro-adultery:
- Regularly take photos of exes.
- Hiding messages from a special person.
- Call others as husband/wife, lover... for fun.
This is a sophisticated type of affair, not going beyond the limits, but enough to hurt your partner. Many experts believe that this is a "small crack" that can open a "big gate" for betrayal.
4. Financial infidelity
You quietly create your own account? Quietly investing behind your partner? Or secretly buying gifts for someone without an explanation? That is financial fraud - a form of betrayal that does not happen in a bedroom, but silently occurs between numbers and invoices.
5. practice of virtual infidelity
With the development of AI and social networks, many people are falling into a state of "affairness to artificial intelligence" - through romantic chatbots, virtual investors or characters in games, movies...
Although not "real", emotions are real, and can make you distance yourself from the real person around you.
