I get the whole thing about emotional ties and everything, but I still say sexual is worse. If my husband cheats on me emotionally, the possibilities of the ways in which I'll be hurt are deep, but limited. If he cheats sexually, he could create a child and an innocent life will be thrown into the mix. Emotional ties can be cut, but someone can never be removed from your list of past sexual partners--that will always be there. He could bring me home any number of diseases and maybe even one that isn't curable. There's many more ways that situation could turn out and they're all longer-lasting than the time it takes to resolve some strong emotions and those problems can keep evolving (if he gives me HPV it could turn into cervical cancer, his child could have a birth defect, etc).
