So is it only abuse when perpetrated by a man?
Cheating has no place in any relationship. However this article serves to simply continue the sexist stereotype that when it is men doing this kind of thing, it is abuse, but for women it is okay. Equality means equality. http://noexcuseforabuse.org.au/No-Excuse/Home
Seems like double standards.
However ‘Breanna’ wants to reconcile/justify it to herself, it is cheating. Her partner doesn’t know about it and she should be putting that effort of physical intimacy into the relationship rather than elsewhere.
