Is It Emotional Infidelity? These 10 Situations Are In A Gray Area

Tolerating harassment
This situation can be incredibly frustrating because you find yourself wanting to protect the feelings of others, but ultimately you’re the one being hurt the most. Sometimes a co-worker, boss, client, or someone else with whom a power hierarchy exists is subtly harassing you. They make comments that cross the line. You put up with it because you don’t want to lose your job, or lose a client. Meanwhile, you feel you’re betraying your partner by not putting a stop to it. So you’re protecting the feelings of, if we’re being honest, an a**hole (the person crossing the line), instead of protecting your partner’s feelings or even your own. It’s a difficult spot to be in.
