How Virtual Affairs Relate To Real Life Relationships

Dating and relationships are not always easy, they take lots of hard work and commitment to be successful. Healthy and successful relationships are built on a foundation of trust. If you lose your partner's trust, it can be a very difficult thing to earn back. One of the biggest trust issues in relationships is cheating. Cheating is difficult to forgive and may ultimately end a relationship, but different people have different opinions on what is considering cheating. Did you cheat if you kissed someone else, or gave someone your phone number? How about if you began playing an online game and had a virtual affair?
