How would you describe an emotional affair?
All relationships need WORK. Sexual & emotional closness 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 ‘disllusional’ 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 agruing. 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.
