We learned in Human Sexuality that affairs involving emotions are more damaging than purely physical ones, and I agree with that. It hurts to know your partner doesn't have self-control, but it hurts more to know that they felt like their relationship with you was seriously lacking - enough to get the aspects of it from someone else.
