They are equally horrible and unforgivable.
Both are horrible...the emotional part will always be with you even when you try and put it behind you. The feeling of having someone you love and care for so deeply share those intimate moments with someone other than you is what eats you up. especially when it's repeatedly did.
I feel like neither one us are saints. When the shoe is on the other foot there is an urgency to get past the point. You are right it's hurtful.

Both would be equally painful
I think emotionally.
.... I'm not really sure what cheating emotionally is? That just sounds like something some ludicrous and jealous person made up because their partner eyeballed a sexy person across the room- so instead, here is my answer, I think that lying about who or what you are attracted to is bad and that all forms of "cheating" can be avoided by being honest with your partner.
that was sarcasm... in other words, I believe cheating emotionally is a ridiculous concept.

The other, 'till one happens to you, then it's THAT ONE! I guess what I mean is... both! Both hurt so bad!
Either. Cheating is cheating.
Emotionally for sure , but either would result in the end of the relationship. Emotional disconnection is almost as bad but this has been our case from you first and on and off. But it has almost been pushed for from me, as I see it. As much as I struggle with it being unnatural for me it is becoming easier and also not in my opinion going to be good for us.
Fine line between being needy and distachment of the balance of. Seems to depend on what the other wants to receive at a given moment.

Emotionally is worse. But I don't think I would be able to handle either.
I can't chose one both are horrible
Treason either way.
I don't really know what emotional cheating is? I say all cheating is bad...

For a woman there is no difference. Sex is always tied in with emotion. I don't believe it would be right for me to have an emotionally close relationship or a sexual relationship with someone of the opposite sex , and I would be devastated if my husband did.
both are inexcusable but I think emotionally just wins.
Both.
