ANSWER:

No one will ever know if our spouse extramarital affair will be over. From my own personal experience if I didn't caught the man I married love affair with the woman he met on dating site, he will not end it. The funny thing was the year I discovered it, he told me that he was planning to end his affair with her, but waiting for the right time. It's all about one lie after the other. I spent 2 decade of my life with him so the only regret I have was trusting him.

Answer

If you are one in the emotional affair I guess you could know it's over if you no longer have the emotional feelings towards the other person or they no longer have them towards you. If you are not one of the parties in the emotional affair there is really no way to know for sure if it's over or not. Unlike sexual affairs, emotional affairs can be very strong and deep rooted, and can sometimes be real love. In this case the emotional affair may never be over. It just depends on the bond between the two people.

When the two of you spend time together your feelings are not ever put out in the open and in a way they are almost hurt. When you feel the emotional attachment but the other feels nothing in return.

  • Emotional affairs are the most difficult to overcome. Your spouse may say they have ended the emotional affair, but may still think of that person and since each individual has the ability to their own private thoughts there is no way the other spouse can know for sure if their spouse is truly over the emotional affair. The good thing that can come out of it is people who have emotional affairs are missing something in their marriage (perhaps don't feel they can go to their spouse to communicate as to their wants or needs without an argument ensuing) so they rely often on the opposite sex to discuss their problems. Women are most often more open to help out a male or female friend whereas men quite often do not discuss their problems with their male friends or perhaps a family member. Once the spouse talks to the female (or male counterpart) as a friend and feels secure this can quite often be misconstrued for love or, it fills the spouse's needs that are not available to them in their marriage. The other spouse should sit down and start communicating with their spouse without a heated argument and both parties should listen to each others feelings and to come to some point in their problems so they can resolve them. If the matter is a serious one and they can't seem to resolve it then seeing a marriage counselor can help only if the two spouses are in full agreement.

How friendship differ to emotional affair?

A friendship is not necessarily emotional while the latter has to be. ANSWER: How? every relationship starts from being friends, friends who can be that person to listen, or just talking about the weather or even what to get while inside grocery. No such relationship can start on emotional connection without getting to know one another. My personal experience, the man I married was getting to know the woman he met on a dating site before he slept with her. So with this example you can justify the difference of friendship to emotional affair. The man I married was really deep in a hole being emotional with his ex mistress then which I never knew he have this passion.

He could be shy. I agree he could be shy or have a policy of not dating co-workers. If either of you are in a relationship or married, it's definitely a good idea for him to put space between you, unless you want an emotional and possibly physical affair to occur.


Is there more than just a physical affair?

Emotional affairs are when someone is talking or confiding in someone besides their partner and getting that affection from someones words, just as hurtful as a physical affair. ANSWER: Yes there is, and it all connected to each others. Like the one above, first it will be emotional affairs which they will say that there's no sex on that relationship. People who have emotional affair will keep telling themselves that they are only friend who enjoy each others company. Because of this connection, they will find themselves falling in love with the other person because they spent more times to that person than the spouse. And when this develop the physical affairs will be what will make them complete. I know because it happened to me years ago.

How would you describe an emotional affair?

Needy! People that have affairs either usually have one or more of the following problems (there are many others): They feel lonely in their present relationship. The person you are married to or going with does not fill the needs you must have to feel whole. If the person you are with is a good person, and you are too lazy or egotistical to bother to work on that relationship. Is it really easier to have an affair? No! You are in an abusive relationship and afraid to leave, so you seek love and attention from another. You are bored in your present relationship and seek praise from another. You can be egotistical and full of yourself, thus, need "stroking" constantly from others to keep your ego pumped. Both parties in the affair are needy. Many people who feel alone from depression, not a high feeling of worth in themselves, or simply looking for a good old time, usually choose another mate of the same caliber to fulfill their needs. Since this is a very complicated situation and each individual has their reasons, there is no real answer. It's best, if you can, to be honest with the partner you are with and take "time out" from the relationship and see others of the opposite sex. This is much fairer (considerate of the partner you are with) than sneaking around and ending up hurting more than just oneself. The main reason people have affairs is because they are either self-centered or just plain selfish because they fear if they tell their boyfriend or husband, they may lose them. Somethings got to give and it will be the cheaters that pay the high price. I was married for 8 1/2 years when I met a temp at work that had a simple question. I was the first friend that she made there. almost two years later I am deeply in love with her and my marriage is a total mess. I know that she is the sole cause of the problems but I choose to interact with her daily. We don't have sex or kiss or anything like that. My wife knows who she is and we have all went places together, weird as it was for all three. More than friends, less than lovers. We would both like it to escalate to more but are unwilling to because we know it is wrong. She offers all the traits that my wife doesn't. All relationships need WORK. Sexual & emotional closeness are basic. If somebody is being intimate in a emotional way with a friend...I.E. Talking openly about his views on birth control. How he makes funny noises during sex. Maybe the relationship has reached the 'delusional' stage. Thinking all is well even though the couple has not talked about emotional needs or wants (should occur on a weekly basis). He/she may find it easier in thinking that ignoring feelings or asking friends on topic instead of partner will be benefiting by avoiding arguing. That tough questions need to be answered honestly. If ya got to hide something from your mate chances are it ain't helping the long term goals for the relationship. Needing an emotional friend/partner outside the relationship is unbalanced. Person may have abandonment issues from childhood. ANSWER: A words that breaks marriages and family. You want to know what emotional affair? It generally starts innocently enough as a friendship. When a man or a woman invest in emotional energy and time with one another outside the marriage relationship, the friendship can begin to form a strong emotional bond which hurts the intimacy of the marriage relationship. For those who believes that emotional affair is harmless, because there's no sexual relationship, are very wrong. Emotional affair are often gateway affairs leading to full blown sexual infidelity. A person feels closer to the other person and may experience increasing sexual tension. It also received emotional support and companionship from new relationship.


What do you do when one of your parents is having an affair?

Does your other parent know about it ? This is a very hard thing for a child to cope with, and you need to talk to someone you know and trust, depending on the relationship you have with the parent that is having the affair, you coul also try talking frankly to that parent. Good luck and I hope you get through this OK.
