Is it normal to think physical cheating is a big deal to me?

I've seen a male poster answering that we should be fine if a boyfriend or husband only has meaningless hook-ups but not an emotional affair. Sex isn't just sex to me. What if he cheats and brings me an STD?

This means he put my health at risk and didn't care about my own life. To me that seems like a huge, big deal. It's my health, my life he didn't care about.

I think people that cheat are disgusting for that reason. Besides betraying their partners, they can bring an STD too.

How can any man assume that I would all women are going to magically forgive that? I would never forgive a partner putting my health at risk.

  • What are you talking about. Cheating is a HUGE deal to almost everyone. I don't know who these people were trying to claim that physical cheating was in any way ok... but they're just idiots. They are not the kind of guys you are going to be considering having a relationship with. They... are idiots. Not speaking for anyone aside from other idiots.

    Don't worry. Cheating (whether physical, emotional or both) is still a big deal... to everyone... except for these idiots.

    Note: Stop listening to idiots.

    • The thing is those idiots were ok if the man cheats ''just for sex'' and can be forgiven but a woman should never be forgiven. They are disgusting and even hypocrites too.

    • Yea. Exactly. They're idiots! Don't even worry about what they think. You aren't planning on dating an idiot. So it's really irrelevant what they think.

  • If a guy tries to act like cheating is normal that man has no feelings for said person and if he gave a dam he wouldn't cheat or think about cheating. You are in your right to feel upset. If your dating some one like this my advice is get out and fine a man worth a dam one that is not going to try and pull this stupid shit

  • When asking a question like this, it's best to leave out the STD part.

    • That's an important part too. They cheater didn't just lie and went behind your back, they exposed you to STD... putting your health at risk

  • It's because pregnancy, women are more worried to be left alone while pregnant ( because emotional affair), men more worried that the child is not theirs ( because physical affair).

    • I agree that's a valid reason for men. For me, it's enough that I have to worry about catching a disease and my own health, life put at risk.

    • Yea STD risk is there for men and women, cheating is bad, especially if it out of greed.

  • It's unforgivable, to me.

    Dump him.

    And cut his dick off so he can't contaminate the rest of the world.

  • You’re 💯 right

  • Its obviously a big deal no matter what some say

  • cheating is cheating.

  • I always use protection when I'm dating outside my relationship and get tested regularly. It's fine to have a bit of fun but you've also got to be responsible too

  • Physical cheating isn't a biggie for me in a relationship. In fact, I'm willing to forgive a few "mistakes". People are human and mistakes are bound to happen. In fact, I'm the rare breed of guy who gets turned on or fantasises about being cheated on.

  • The best defense you have is get checked regularly.

    • True. Several cheaters don't care and put their partners health at risk.

  • Cheating is cheating, the rationalization doesn't matter

  • Of course it is

    • Ok thanks. I was hurt at a couple men's comments on how it's not hurtful if a boyfriend or husband has a ONS, that sex is just sex.
