What is considered emotional cheating? Is sexting on here emotional cheating?
 
Sexting is not emotional cheating. It's just cheating. Emotional cheating happens when you establish a close, intimate connection with someone who isn't your partner. You can generally tell emotional infidelity apart from simple friendship because your interactions often involve some sexual tension or romantic attraction. While I think sexting can often apply to emotional cheating, it's more talking every day, using the other person for support the way you would a partner, generally having an intimate connection with another person. I consider it more innocent than just actually sending nudes or sexting, it's a lot more personal and involves an emotional connection. Many people sext and have it mean nothing more than just getting off.

I only sext. Some sexy photos. I wouldn't ever meet or do anything with the person. I would never leave my significant other. I still love my husband. Nothing will change my relationship with my husband. I am just bored, and I feel lonely bc I don't work. I just want friendships.

Not judging you or your situation. There is just a difference between cheating and emotional cheating. If your husband doesn't have any idea, it could be considering cheating. But if you only sext with people and there's no emotional connection like you would have with a normal relationship. I don't think emotional cheating applies to your situation.
 
He knows I am on here but he told me not to sext. I still do it though
 
Yes I can. I have just lost interest in my husband bc he always switches jobs, or gets let go. Also, he does not move. He is not motivated and a go getter. He is lazy. We have been together for more than 5 years and we still don't have a house. He acts like a kid. I do everything and all the handyman work in the house. He will ask 100's of questions everyday. He can't remember anything. We hardly spend time together. He does his own thing I am getting tired of his crap. I have to hold his hand every step of the way lol.
Thank you for listening and helping . I appreciate it
 
Also, he already cheated on me in the beginning. His family blamed food poisoning on me, changed locks, covered all windows, physical assault, and throwing away mom's meds. My husband was not supporting me . They also tried to get order of protection but judge denied when I didn't even do anything. I depression and anxiety. I almost took a whole bottle of diazepam pills. I am still struggling with this . My self esteem is at it lowest. I don't even know if I am a good person or not . I would never do such a thing. I treated his parents like mine. I cooked , and helped around the house. I don't love or like myself. I hate myself.
 
I'm certainly not the person to be giving you advice, but it's clear that's he's doing you no good physically and emotionally, I'm so sorry that it came to you taking pills but that isn't the answer.
 
Yes ty. I am seeking professional help. I will be fine. I trying to get a appointment with a therapist but I run into issues.
 
There are a lot of people that you can talk to that will just offer support. I hope you find some friends that can help you out. Life is too short to be miserable. Wishing you the best!!
 
Have you had any kind of relationship therapy?

I only ask because while the therapy looks to work through your relationship problems with the aim to improve it, you may also find the confidence to walk away if the basic fundamentals of what you you need from your marriage and support from your husband is broken.

But ultimately, your mental well being is paramount here.

No one should suffer in silence.
