Emotional relationships usually start off innocently. It can be the chatting up of a co-worker or a neighbour or even an old classmate on Facebook. A little part of you knows you shouldn’t or your partner would feel uncomfortable, but you also know there’s nothing to it. There’s an undeniable attraction and you begin sharing things with this person that you shouldn’t be sharing. If you are having an emotional affair and you think it is inappropriate or would hurt your partner, chances are that you’re right.
So what are the signs that you are in an emotional affair with someone other than your spouse
- You talk about things you wouldn’t talk to your spouse about: If this is the case, you have to consider why this is occurring. I sit that you have lost touch with your partner, you are no longer talk to them about much at all or there are things that you are uncomfortable talking to your partner about? Whatever it might be, find and resolve it.
- You hide the connection in an emotional affair: If your partner doesn’t know that this other person exists, let me tell you that you are actively in an emotional relationship that is inappropriate. If you are involved in long, intimate conversations with someone you find attractive and is not your partner,you are squarely involved in an emotional affair.
- You talk filth about your partner in an emotional affair: If you find yourself speaking negatively about your partner to someone else, and they are dumb enough to offer a listening ear and then some advice, it is crossing the line of respect in your relationship.
- You tell yourself that you’re “just friends” in an emotional affair: If you ever find yourself in this place where you are convincing yourself that you are just friends, then you are already in trouble. You are trying to rationalize the relationship that you have with this other person.
- Emotional affairs think about the other person a lot: If you find yourself constantly thinking about this other person and you are not single, you are in an emotional affair. Have you ventured into scenarios about a future with this person and you are not single, you are in an emotional affair. If your spouse or partner could see your thoughts, and you know he or she would be devastated, then you are in an emotional affair.
- If you really look forward to seeing them: Do you find yourself overly excited when you know you are going to see this person, do you take a little extra time to spruce yourself up? Do you get a little anxious with excited anticipation? Sir or Ma, might I tell you the very obvious, you are in an emotional relationship
