A romantic relationship is two parts: emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy.

to your first statement i say shenanigans. to you second i question: does that mean that a relationship is a close friend that you have sex with? are friends just SOs that you don't have sex with? there is definitely an aspect of this you're missing: romance. My SO had a really good friend; i didn't care. she started hanging out with him a lot at night, still don't care. She starts going on dates and stargazing and shit during time we're supposed to be hanging out, i draw the line. Maybe Baraka can help me out with the right diction for the occurrence, but all i can think of right now is "romance". She wasn't dating him, she wasn't having sex with him, but they were definitely becoming romantically involved.
long story short: i stopped hanging out with her. she stopped hanging out with dude for me. he confesses that he loved her. emotional cheating? yup
