Cheating is not ok

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. … We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God.”

The Family: A Proclamation to the World, Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102.

We are privileged to have the Family Proclamation to read daily as Latter Day Saints. Infidelity happens even in those who are sealed for time and eternity in the temple. We are all human no one is perfect however we should never get ourselves in a situation that could jeopardize our relationships with our spouse or make them feel as if we don't treasure the relationship we have or don't trust them with our hearts and feelings. I took away from the readings this week that we may find ourselves in a situation that to us seem ok but to our spouse they see us pulling away even when we mean no harm or physical intimacy with a co-worker. Emotional infidelity is just as bad as physical. Even though you aren't physically in a relationship with the other person you are sharing your dreams, hopes, and life with them emotionally as you should be sharing with your spouse. Communication is key and we should always keep an open communication with our spouse so that we don't find ourselves going down a road of emotionally cheating on our spouse.
