Is s(he) cheating on you or are they just friends? *2023* How to know the difference?

Emotional Affair Vs Friendship!! What is the deal?

The overwhelming majority of the clinical data we have compiled at Naya Clinics about emotional affairs points to one main fact.

Most emotional affairs start as friendships.

A seemingly innocent friendly connection can transform into an emotional affair when the new friend becomes a confidant about troubles and grievances in your intimate relationship with your partner. They confide in you with their grievances with their relationship and intimate partner in return, and Voila, a perfect storm of emotional cheating is brewing, and you are in the eye of the storm.

Two ways you can check yourself to assess whether what you have is a friendship or an emotional affair or emotional infidelity are

Are you keeping your friendship or parts of it a secret?
Do you feel physically attracted to your friend?
If the answer to any of these questions is Yes, you are at best on a slippery slope heading towards an emotional affair, or you are already in one and you have no realized it yet!
