How do you know if your relationship has evolved into an emotional affair?

Answer 1

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 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

• 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.
