B) Your boyfriend/girlfriend having sex with the opposite sex(multiple times)?

And, why?
A, because it's involuntary. I don't feel that people can control who they develop feelings for or who they fall in love with. People can, however, control whether or not they have sex with somebody else. Cheating on your partner is a voluntary action and as such, at least for me, it'd hurt a hell of a lot more. And I'm not saying it wouldn't hurt if they fell in love with somebody else, because it'd probably kill, but it's not a betrayal. I'd be more likely to accept it as something that happened and that I couldn't control - maybe we weren't as compatible anymore/as I thought - than cheating, which would come with more repercussions simply because they would have chosen to do it.

If you feel you'd like additional support or to speak further with me, you can contact me through my personal Tumblr, Love Like An Hourglass (click), or PM me through TH.
