ANSWER;

Is it, gosh yes. Do you know the damage of emotional affair can do in your marriage, big time disaster. It doesn't matter if your husband said they haven't slept together yet, his emotional affair with this woman will be the start of their relationship. Pretty soon he will be talking to her about how bad you are in bed, even your not. He will tell her those little secret you told your husband. And with his action, this other woman will feel bad and sad towards your husband, and phase 2 will start naturally.

Everything I said here is true because it happened to me. My husband was dying to meet women that can be his close friends. He met one special one from the dating site and they become very close as soon as they met face to face. From there, the calling started and never stop for 2 months. When they see each others, they go on a date. During her days off he made sure that he can be with her till he comes home to us. They went to church together like man and wife. No secret between each others. And because of this the man I married fell in love with her, and that's when they start sleeping together. It was emotional and physical affairs that happened to both of them. I said this because since they met, my husband can't never start his day without talking to her first. He will not go to bed without talking to her first. And this are what broke my marriage to this man.

Answer 2

An emotional affair is the same as what most people think of when they think of an affair except less the intimate parts. An emotional affair is an affair that allows its participants think that they are not doing anything wrong because of no intimacy. Anytime you are spending private moments with someone of the opposite sex at private times you are having an emotional affair. If you are close in anyway to someone of the opposite sex and you can't reveal everything that is said, you might be in an emotional affair. If you're emails are all that private you might be having an emotional affair. It's cheating plain and simple DON'T BE FOOLED!

ANSWER:

Emotional affair generally starts innocently enough as a friendship. Emotional affairs is type of cheating without having a sexual relationship. It's also a gateway affairs leading to a full blown sexual infidelity. This happened to me from the man I married. He met a woman on a dating site because he was hungry to find someone who will listen to him talk. Unfortunately this man is not a talkative person with me from the start of our relationship. and he proven me wrong. Only with me his having a problem communicating. So overall, our life will never be the same anymore.

Answer 3

* While a man should feel he can communicate his true feelings to his girlfriend or wife he may feel that he wouldn't be understood and therefore strikes up a friendship with another woman to express those feelings and as long as sex is not involved then it is not cheating. However, this is extremely dangerous territory the man is in because friendship and love can be combined and one or both could quite easily fall in love. A better solution is to communicate to his girlfriend or wife and try to work things out rather than trying to find solace with another woman.

Answer 4

Certainly by trying to not have any contact with the object of your emotional affair and realizing it is all in your head.

If this is you having an emotional affair, yes you can but it will be a bit harder for you. First thing is you need to stop thinking about this person. You can't call, email, or contact this person. Yes you will miss the person, because the two of you always talk about everything. If you can do this, you will be on the way.

But if this is your spouse, you can help by doing the same thing. Make sure that you will be there for your spouse when he is needing someone to talk to.

Emotional affair is very hard to deal with when it happens to your spouse or you. Emotional affair are dangerous and powerful things. Let alone, they will become full blown romantic, and it will turn to sexual affairs. I can't really tell you all the right answer when it comes to being emotional with someone. But for you to stop the emotional affair, you need to work a little harder. Your question sounds like it was your husband, by him it will feel like addiction to drugs or alcohol. If your husband didn't know that you knew his emotional affair, you will have a handful on making decision.

The only good thing you can do is let him solve his problem, so that way he will realize his already deep involve with the other woman. If one day you decided to talk to him and ask him about his emotional affair with this woman, don't be surprise if he tells you that, " they are only friends." He might also tell you that nothing is going on with the other woman, and this are the classic excuse most married man wil tell to their wife. Let's focus on you, your husband emotional affair will hit you like a brick wall and it will make your life on a roller coaster.

From my own personal experience, the man that I married also had an emotional affair with the woman he met on dating site. I'm saying this now because I had seen the change of my husband because of this woman. From the time they met face to face, the relationship started to calling or talking on the phone 24/7 for 2 months. The man that I married usually a man that when it comes to sleeping, he will make sure that he can get at least 7-8 hours sleep before he goes to work each day. But because of this woman, 2-3 hours was enough for him as long as he can talk to her on the phone. He can't start his day without calling her first, and it doesn't matter if she's at work or driving her car. He can't never go to bed without talking to her first, not just 5 minutes conversation but I'm talking about 3-4 o'clock in the morning.

Just like drugs he become addicted to this woman, he made sure that his schedule was planned so they can be together. If this is not emotional affair, I don't know what is. I hope that your husband didn't fell in love with the other woman, the man that I married did, so now our life is not the same anymore and will never be..

Answer 5

I personally think so. If that person is emotionally cheating on you, they are doing the same amount of damage to the relationship.

ANSWER:

Not exactly, "Adultery" is about when a married man or married woman get involved to another person who is not their spouse. When it comes to "Emotional Affair" is about sharing deep thought and feelings with someone other than your partner and keeping it a secret.

Answer 6

To have an emotional affair is a serious problem that needs to be concern about. It's not like buying a furniture and if we don't like it, we can return it. Emotional affair is and can ruin marriages and family. Most married men will say they are not doing anything wrong, "only friendship" or they are not having an affair because there's no sex involve. The reality is man or woman who have this connection to another person other than their spouse are already having deep feelings to this person and it will not stop.

So if this is where you are now, its time for you to really think whether your family in not important anymore to your heart. Good luck!

ADDITION:

From my own personal experience the man I married had emotional affair with the woman he met on a dating site. He never cared because all he wanted was to find a friends,( women's friend). The result of his emotional affair was having a second life without his family knowing. No matter how or why if we can rebuild our marriage, it will not be the same anymore, finding out that he can fall in love with this married woman, ( now divorce) within 3 weeks, that is all I need to know to let him go and have my life on my own with my children.
