Yes you do before it's to late and before it gets to bad. The worst thing that a person can do is to know that their spouse is falling for another person. I don't know the situation that your having with your spouse but take my words for it from my own experience and nightmares learning that the man I married didn't have no problem giving his heart to another woman.
If the two of you have children, think about your children and what could happen if you don't stop this now. If you still love your spouse or let say you want to give it another chance, think if you can have the trust you used to have.
don't do it.
ANSWER:
Like the person said, don't do it. Or how about talk to your spouse, instead of the other person. Please don't say that your spouse doesn't know how to listen, that is why you are focusing to be with the other person. You already forgotten that when the two of you was only starting this so called new life, your spouse is there for you, listening to you, and now its not happening. I think you need to really look at the big picture here.
Don't do what the man I married did, he said and I quote never listen to him talk, which is a lie. It was him who don't know what to say, even though his acting like listening to me. It is what it is so if I were you, before you decide to have this emotional affair, ask your self if you are being a good spouse.
ANSWER:
If this it the first your spouse cheated, take my words for it, you will never know because of hiding, lying, making excuses to what he wanted to do or even why his always late coming home. If not and you have some evidence, you can confront your spouse by asking and talking to him. But if you keep your mouth close and never deal with it, the result of your problem will be a lot more worst.
You need to talk to them about what that emotional relationship means to them. Is it a crush? Because everyone gets those, even in a committed relationship. Is it something that is driving them away from you and closer to that person? If so, it needs to be addressed.... emotional relationships are a bigger deal than physical, if its my opinion.
With emotional affairs you have to be careful not to accuse the person of cheating. You need to sit down with your spouse and start COMMUNICATING. Ask your spouse what is bothering them and how both of you can improve on your relationship. Take it slow and easy. People have emotional affairs (or even affairs) because they are missing something in their marriage. Perhaps lack of attention on your part. I am going through this very thing with a girlfriend of mine. She is 47 years old and her husband is 43. They have no children. She is an extremely energetic and vibrant woman, while her husband is a laid-back guy, loves sports, goes out with his pals to play hockey and now is into Baseball and reserves very little time for her. She expressed to me (I'm her best friend) that she felt LONELY! She said when her husband was around he didn't want to talk about anything interesting, plan for holidays, go biking with her and was always anxious to get out the door to play hockey or just sit in front of the TV or computer. NO he's not cheating on her because my husband and I go to some of his hockey games. It appears that both my friends have grown into other interests and left nothing for each other. I told her to communicate with him which she hasn't yet. Now she has found this nice fellow (also married, but his wife lives in the States) and they have much in common. They are just friends. They go bike riding together and sit and chat and he considers her intelligent, etc., and tells her so. She laps this up because she needs to hear these things and unfortunately her husband should be telling her these things and not her male friend. She has talked to me about it since and I was honest in saying that this could start out as just friends, but she'd better be careful because she could be faced with falling in love or cheating. It's playing with fire. Her husband knows she is seeing this fellow to go bike riding and hasn't got the hint he should be spending more time with his wife. He looks at it as "freeing up his time" to play more hockey and baseball. Start communicating with your spouse before it's too late! Good luck
No, it is not a mistake to tell the husband his wife was having an affair with your husband. However, some wives can be in denial and they may not believe their husband is cheating, but most do.
I'm afraid not, because the wife will have the lingering notion and it will affect her ability to perform to her husband. Two scenario for this one is, if this couple stays together, the wife is the one that will experience the flashback of what her husband did. She will wonder how her husband made love to his affair partner. She will wonder how his affair partner satisfy her husband. This is one thing that most husband who had the affair never thought of, how it will affect and destroy his wife.
Just let it go unless you want to lose the wife's friendship also.
When a husband has an affair it becomes emotional to the wife first because she trusted him and he broke that bond of trust; then she wonders what she did wrong; some women blame themselves and feel they drove their husbands to another woman and then comes the anger. During the emotional grief the wife goes through she can become physically ill such as depression; headaches; stomach upsets; anxiety; panic attacks for some women at the fear of being left alone without financial aid; aches and pains, etc.
Yes You Can If You Have Evidence. There are no legal grounds called emotional extortion.
Leave him.
Gosh no, how can she justify the pain that she gave to her husband if she still contact him. If this is what she is doing, for God sake just get a divorce so both can move on. Just like when the husband is the one that had the affair, if he keeps contact with his mistress what do you think the wife will feel? Either way husband or wife that has the affair needs to be honest, and never contact the affair partner..
he will be hurt and confused
No. Let sleeping dogs lie.
There are no laws about immoral activities such as infidelity.
Anything possible
You said the magic word 'justly' and the ex wife is hurt and angry. She poured her life into her husband and he left her for you. You and her ex husband knew it wasn't going to be easy when he left her. It's his responsibility! No one twisted his arm to do what he did. You don't need to be involved. He had the affair with you and he walked out on his wife and possibly children, so it's up to him to get a backbone and deal with his ex wife.
