I recently found out that my partner had formed a deep emotional connection with someone else. They say it never got physical, but they admitted to sharing personal feelings, secrets, and time that used to be reserved for us. It feels like a betrayal — not because of what they did physically, but because of the emotional intimacy they gave to someone else.

They’ve apologized and want to rebuild our relationship, but I’m torn. Part of me wants to believe we can work through this, while another part keeps wondering if the trust and closeness we had can ever truly return.

Is emotional cheating as damaging as physical cheating? Can a relationship realistically recover from that kind of breach of trust — and if so, what does true healing and rebuilding look like?
