* Your husband is cheating and has no intentions of ending this relationship with his mistress. You can't make someone do something if they don't want too and he went through 'the act' to appease you, but once you weren't around he phoned his mistress back and apologized. This shows he has no moral respect for you and doesn't appear to care about your feelings. By staying in the same home with your husband you are enabling his behavior so you have two choices #1 Kick his hide out the door and see a lawyer so you can stay in your home if possible and he may come to his senses and return or #2 Kick his hide out the door and file for divorce. It's not easy to do, but, if you are honest with yourself that bond of trust is gone between you and the prospect of you ever trusting him again is minimal. Do what you think will make you happy and if you don't feel that you deserve better then you will never attain it.
Speaking again from experience (being the one that had the emotional affair, I'd say the signs are always there. An ''obsession'' to talk about the person, a distancing in you're own relationship, listening to love songs, pulling away from a physical relationship with you, or even saying the wrong name when with you. The opportunities that they seek out to be with this person, etc.
If your emotional needs are being met, then you can easily catch yourself if you feel you are falling into an emotional affair or that someone is trying to pull you into one. However, if they are not be met, then it is very easy and will feel natural and probably harmless.
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.
because she was having an affair with her husband
Might be an old friend, who knows. But if he pays more attention to the woman than you, you should get a divorce. If he really loves and cherishes you, he'll make time for you and pay attention to you.
I do am sorry that you had found out your husband's secret. Emotional affair is the hardest affair that can happen to someone. I know because it happened to me, a while ago. If your husband admitted his relationship with ths other woman and they haven't met yet, you can still control your husband. The two of you needs to talk about what's going on with him. Ask him why he didn't have no problem talking to this woman on line about things in his life but he can't with you. Ask him how deep his involvement with her, but don't let him manipulate you, because he will tell you that " he didn't plan it" it just happen. Most married men who got caught with affairs, emotional or physical will say that " it's just happen." If your husband didn't plan it or even open up to her, he will not become emotionally involve with her. BTW the man that I married also told me that he didn't plan it, it just happen. Being emotionally involve with this woman, expect they already shared an intimate feelings to each others. What if, how it will feel, will be some of the intimate words that they talked or fantasized. When and if your husband stop talking to her, watch your husband, his behaviour will change because he will be thinking about the other woman. It just like trying to stop drinking, If you are planning to talk to her husband don't, it's the other woman that you need talk to, so she will know what ever your husband told her or even complain to her about you she will know the truth. If she don't listen to you, that's when you tell her that you will talk to her husband. But for now take care of yourself and make sure you talk to one of your friends or family.
It could be very tempting for her after all she is only human and the husband is unable to look after her sexual needs. Needs and urges that are there regardless of being deserted by her husband.
you try to fight it but if it gets out of hand u must stop being friends to keep ur relationship going
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.
Your husband has all the ear marks of being a cheater and you need to either get marriage counseling to get to the root of your marriage problems or, you both need to sit down and discuss why he feels he had to have a one night stand and now admits to an emotional affair. Sex is out of the picture for the time being as how can one have a loving sexual relationship with a spouse that cheats (emotional flirting and spending time with another is also considered cheating.) Individuals are human and the two simply don't mix and the spouse that is being cheated on is holding back resentment. Because you have put up with your husband's infidelities you are an enabler and you need to let him know the 'buck stops here.' In other words you aren't going to put up with his nonsense. Most men don't like women that don't stand up for themselves and have little respect for them and you have to let your husband know that you are confident; don't need him; other fish in the sea and to either work on the marriage or you will file for divorce.
An emotional affair does not always have to involve a sexual relationship. A person who has problems in their marriage and feels lonely will often turn to the opposite sex for consolation and at first they just enjoy each other, but often the two realize they are becoming very close from feelings of being secure; appreciated for who they are; they get along and it is seems at the time it is all the things the person who has the problems needs.
Emotional affair is really bad and it will destroy the marriage. It can damage a relationship more than one night stand. The betrayal will be painful that saving the marriage will be hard. Emotional affair is about sharing deep thoughts and feelings with someone other than your partner and about keeping emotional secrets. It's easier to get over a one night stand than emotional affair. Because a one night stand is meaningless and doesn't involve true feelings or personal thoughts. To have emotional affair can occurs when deep connection are forged. It's more loving and connected than physical sex. If you or your spouse are having this feelings, think carefully if it's worth loosing the people that we love just because there's someone new that's listening to what ever we want to talk. It's not worth it, from my experience it was the end of our marriage.
