Emotional Cheating Vs Physical Cheating

It’s another week of Married. Single. Divorced., and we’re back with dating disasters, lingering feelings and a topic that gets very real, very quickly.

The Catch-Up ☕️

📱 Fern is back on Hinge and wow, it’s a jungle out there. She matched with someone who was missing his top four teeth… safe to say, that one didn’t make it past the chat. Standards remain intact.

💬 Charlotte brings us “The Favourite” update…She’d made peace with never seeing him again - very zen, very evolved, but he was still living rent-free in her head. So… she texted him.

And yes, he replied.

And yes, Fern absolutely lost her shit at the response.

The question now is: does Charlotte actually want to keep that door open…?

🤧 Larissa is full of a cold, but the weather is gorgeous so it’s been park days galore. She’s also had a massage and is now floating through life, albeit slightly congested.

This Week’s Topic: Emotional Cheating vs Physical Cheating

A big one… and surprisingly, we’re all aligned.

💔 Fern, Charlotte and Larissa all agree - emotional cheating hits harder.

It’s not just the act… it’s the connection, the secrecy, the intention.

📸 Fern shares a moment from her past relationship, finding a photo of a naked woman on Mr Charismatics phone. Was it “just a picture”… or something more?

🤯 Charlotte questions how people even manage to maintain emotional relationships in secret, and shares a story of a friend uncovering cheating through a phone backup to a laptop… technology really will expose you.

😤 Larissa admits she’d be the grudge-holder - we’re talking rage, cutting up clothes, full emotional fallout. No pretending everything’s fine here.

The Real Talk

💬 Fern reflects on life after her relationship, and how (despite everything) it’s actually easier being on her own than living with resentment and no love. “My kids are better in the house they’re in than the house they could have been in.”

🤝 Larissa agrees, saying loyalty matters across all relationships, not just romantic ones.

And then we rewind a bit…

🍿 Larissa shares the very chaotic early days with Mike - think messy timelines, revenge Facebook photos, drunken nights, strippers… a full “no one knows what’s going on but we’re all in it” era.

Ah, to be 18 again (or… maybe not).

Messy, emotional, and a reminder that not all betrayal looks the same - but it all leaves a mark.

Follow, rate 5⭐️, and share with your besties - especially the ones who help you see clearly when you’re about to text him back.
