Emotional Affair or Just Friends? Therapist Shares The Difference!

Wondering if it's an emotional affair or just friends? This comes up often in couples therapy. In this video, I'll show you the top five warning signs that go beyond friendship. Affairs are on the rise with the spread of dating apps and websites. Therefore, more and more people are finding themselves in affairs who thought it would never happen to them. The more unhappy happy someone is in their marriage, the more temptation they may feel to cheat. However, at the end of the day, it's important to remember that cheating is always a choice. In this video, I'll teach you when a relationship moves into an emotional affair and isn't just friends anymore.

This is true, I watched my x go through each of these stages with his employee. We divorced, they married. Connection and being in a relationship is a choice. Wherever you place your focus and attention, your connection will be.

YOUR AFFAIR PARTNER UNDERSTANDS YOU BETTER BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY SEEING A SMALL PART OF WHO YOU ARE……unlike your partner who gets all the good and bad

My partner doesnt communicate with me aa much as he use to...i need communication and he isnt meeting my needs. 😮

And when your spouse does this and you show concern - they start to say you are jealous & insecure & controlling

Big pain in intimacy and you stop trusting them the same

It’s horrible

Cheating is a symptom of a relationship that has many problems. If your Needs are not being met, that’s a HUGE problem – not some minor inconvenience. Only blaming the cheater is like shooting the messenger. It’s the news that they don’t want to hear because it’s too painful to bear. We need to get to the root cause of the problem and this video didn’t address them. Often, one will go to their partner and express their dissatisfaction, yet nothing happens. What’s the person to do then?? Usually, the options are cheat or get divorced. Not great choices. Our goal in life isn’t to just survive in a relationship, but rather to be happy. Life is more complicated that this video presents.

I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks and lost my kids' godmother to suicide literally a few months later. I needed my husband so WE COULD HEAL he needed our kids best friends mom became irritated with me made me feel insecure said alot of things that made me question whether or not he still was married to me. No true intimacy physically or emotionally. Now there's the if we breakup if we divorce what killed me was him telling me he'd abandon my kids and stay in contact with the baby that's due in December and this girl all but terrorized me during my pregnancy. All of this happened with in a yr of the first time I noticed that everytime I turn around they were together at every event at school or outside of school.

My husband is having an emotional affair and didn't communicate how he felt until the emotional affair got way too out of hand...now he can't choose between me and her and feels he can't cut it off because he can't control himself with I've acknowledged where things went wrong with us to make him turn to her and am trying to be present and patient but he can't What do i do

[rowanjthomas]

I agree with the last three, but the first two, I think it's possible that some people could have lifelong friends or siblings/parents who understand them better than their partner and with whom they share certain things that they don't with their partner, and I don't think that necessarily indicates an emotional affair. It may be something to be cautious of, but for me it's specifically the presence of romantic feelings that defines whether an emotional affair is occuring or not.
