How can the wife deal with a husband in an emotional affair?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

• The key to most problems is good communication skills. Be absolutely sure that your husband is even in an emotional affair. It is sometimes common when a husband is having marriage problems that they may seek out either a female coworker or some other female they know. You need to sit down with your husband in private (no children around if you have children) or go for a walk just the two of you and without accusations ask your husband if he is unhappy in the marriage. If he does not respond and you know for sure he is having an emotional affair then let him know it and that you are not going to stand by and enable his behavior. You could both go to marriage counseling where you will gain the tools to deal with marriage problems. If you husband is not willing to try in the marriage and as much as it may break you heart tell him you are not putting up with his emotional affair (leaving you out) and you will go for a separation to give both of you some space to figure out what you are going to do in the marriage.

Answer 6

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
