Sleeping with the wrong person can lead to emotional turmoil that lingers long after the physical encounter is over. When intimacy is shared with someone who doesn’t value or respect you, it can leave you feeling empty, regretful, or even used. Emotions become tangled, and what was meant to be a fleeting moment of pleasure can turn into weeks or months of self-doubt and heartache. Many people struggle to separate physical intimacy from emotional attachment, making it difficult to move on without unresolved feelings.
