Whenever I read about someone cheating on someone else I feel hurt inside like if I've been cheated on myself....
I've noticed I seem to be more bothered by females cheating (probably because I'm male) but when men do it I just feel the usual anger towards someone who could do that. Also, one off sexual events hurt me while someone having an affair bothers me less...
I haven't been cheated on except my last girlfriend once kissed a guy when we began dating, of course that hurt and this pain feels similar.
Why do I feel hurt when I read someone cheating despite I'm not the one being cheated on?
