IMO, getting rejected by someone you really fancy is worse than getting cheated on by your longtime partner or spouse. I got rejected by someone I really liked recently and my self esteem went right down after that, hurt much more than my more recent break-up with another woman to be honest. Both of them hurt though, that's for sure. :/

Cheating, by far. If you've been investing time and emotional effort into a long term relationship, and the trust is broken, it hurts. Rejection? Meh, everyone goes through it on a reasonably frequent basis, whether they admit it or not. It's part of the territory, but at that point, you're not nearly as emotionally invested as you are from a long term relationship.

No offense, but having somebody you invested a huge portion of your life in turning their back on you for somebody else is quite a lot more painful then having your current crush turn you down for a date.
Take it from somebody that knows.

Being cheated on is a violation of love and trust, and is far, FAR worse.

Of course, cheating is worse. At least you can shake off being turned down by your recent crush. Cheating involves someone that you gave your heart to for so long and the fact that said person couldn't tell you what's wrong and decided to see someone else tops all.

Rejection is a natural part of social interaction, cheating is a coward act of disrespect, especially when it comes from a long-term partner.
Honestly, it's like comparing a cough to lung cancer...

Being cheated on is worse. I've had both happen to me. You get over the rejection fairly fast. Because then it's just a matter that the girl (or boy) doesn't like you in that way. When being on cheated on, you got so many questions that can really tear you down. And I never got answers to the questions I had, cause we broke up at the same time (in fact I didn't really know she had cheated on me until after we broke up) and after that I haven't seen or talked to her.

The first one. Because my relationships never seem to ever last "longtime."

Cheated on. You've developed a relationship that shouldn't have the limitation of a curious spouse destroy it. Someone you fancy (I love that word) rejecting you just leads back to that "plenty of fish in the sea" thing. Screw her. You're the man. Or screw him. You're the woman. Or screw Ash. You're the Pikachu. It's all good.

I have been rejected in a very public and embarrassing manner, but even then I could not imagine how I could get over being cheated on.

Cheated, by far. Rejection sucks, but it's nothing compared to the feeling of betrayal by someone you love.

Monogamy ain't that big a deal to me, so I vote for rejection.

Isn't the first one a kind of subset of the second? I.E. in a way, getting cheated on would be a form of rejection, and if they're your long time partner/spouse you'd make the assumption you'd really care about them.
So for me the second choice is the obvious one, as it's a much more serious heart-rending version of the first.
