Is It Just Sex Or Is There Emotion? When It Comes To Cheating, Is Physical Or Emotional Worse?

Hey Lifers and happy Halloween!
Britt really put in the effort this year but we can’t work out if she’s Gandalf or God.
Do you celebrate Halloween now or did you as a kid? We share some stories from our childhood about Halloween.
Britt has had a beauty mishap and Keeshia has gone wagatha mode to try and figure out which neighbour stole her bin.

Is it just sex or is there emotion? When it comes to cheating, is physical or emotional worse?

Lily Allen has dropped the break up album of all time that has us feeling like we are reading her diary. In it, she shares how her and her husband David Harbour (of Stranger Things fame) had an unconventional arrangement where he could have sex with other people, as long as it was ‘discreet’ and ‘paid for with strangers’. Lily later found out through snooping that David had been having an affair where they in fact, played tennis!

Today we wanted to unpack one particular line in her new music “is it just sex or is there emotion” and speak about how men and women seem to view emotional vs physical cheating differently.
Researchers asked what kind of betrayal, emotional or physical, would hurt more. They found that on average, men report feeling more distress over physical infidelity whereas women more often said that emotional betrayal, when a partner develops feelings or emotional closeness with someone else, was more painful.

Lily described the tracks as being "inspired by" what happened in her marriage, she says they are "not gospel" and that it’s “a mixture of fact and fiction.” We share how we feel about the woman who has been ‘outed’ in this and whether you can share so much that exposes other people without being clear on what’s real and what has been made up.
