yes, the problem is ppl can only see physical thing i mean things which they can see from their eyes .......... & unfortunately things related to emotions & all r neither explainable nor ppl can see them............ as we know physical torture is visible ( we can see marks of chapairs & thapars ) but mental torture is something not visible .......... emotional affair will have marks of it on his/her head for ages & emotional torture further leads to physical problems.........

so yeah emotional affair is worse than physical one.......

Physical one. Because,

emotional affair involves emotions = 1

physical affair involves physical+emotional = 2

one thing leads to the other ..they aren't separate..emotions -> lust -> physical relation -> disrespect..thinking the other person is vulnerable...suspicion of the next person's sincerity and love..

and a cascade of bad things follow !

I think so because you can have a physical affair without your heart and head getting too invested, and rather quickly (like the first and maybe last time you meet a hot person). however an emotional affair isn't a spur of the moment thing it develops through time, and many interactions. the people are mentally and emotionally invested and so that's a lot worse.

Are you saying that for a woman or man?

Scientifically speaking men are perfectly capable of indulging in physical act without feeling an ounce of emotional attachment for the person in question, and it is often the case.

Scientifically as well as statistically i must add

I'm sorry but those men sound like Gammas from Huxley's Brave New World. :D

Also, you're telling me my husband doesn't have any feelings for me? :(

So how does one have an emotional affair? Two people assume they like each other and have an affair in their brains? They sing songs together in their dreams and all?

If there’s romantic communication between 2 parties, even if physical enounters of the bad kid :no: haven’t happened, it’s still an affair, and that’s negative. But perhaps the level of sin committed isn’t as bad. Of course we are all assuming that is affair is extra marital.

Re: Is an emotional affair worse than a physical one...?

the question popped into my head when I was watching the Hum TV drama Qaid-e-Tanhia. An emotional affair is what I consider Aisha to have had (i.e. a married person not only falling in love with someone else but also allowing it to develop into a relationship, albeit not a physical one, rather than stopping it knowing that's wrong)

I think that's worse than some purely physical affairs. I'm not saying either is justifiable.

From that drama, I also began to wonder why anything like this is considered a million times worse if done by a woman as opposed to a man (her husband was doing the same thing at the same time....)

whats the definition of an emotional affair?

16

Re: Is an emotional affair worse than a physical one...?

the way i see it, an emotional affair is prolly worse than a physical one.

emotional affair, you begin to develop feelings and you see yourself being with that person...not just in a sexual way.

physical affair, maybe you just wanna get it on with them cuz you can't keep it in your pants, and no sort of commitment towards them is there.

Re: Is an emotional affair worse than a physical one...?

Any extra-marital affair is bad whether emotional or physical. However, we can forgive the other person for being emotionally involved with the other person because he/ she was sincere enough to restrain himself/ herself from the illegitimate physical contact. The reasons for emotional involvement can be genuine. For example, in the Hum TV drama, the married woman was forced to get emotionally involved with her husband's friend because of the frequent interactions with the friend who has been there whenever she needed him in the absense of her husband who was living abroad and ignored his wife's numerous requests to come back to her. Such behaviour of husbands can lead wives to seek refuge in other men emotionally. It is definitely wrong Islamically, but not as wrong as having a physical relationship. We should always look at the root cause of any affair. But emotional one is less sinful than the physical affair and it can be forgiven if the person is confident that he/ she will completely refrain himself from such acts in the future.
