When does a friendship become an emotional affair?

Emotional Affairs: Where’s the line? In this clip from the Lust is Boring podcast, Jason Evert and Dr. Bob Schuchts discuss.

Any time someone HIDES a relationship you need to worry - secrecy causes a lack of connection - and leads to feelings of betrayal and lack of trust

Wouldn’t you think when it makes your gf feel uncomfortable it’s crossing a line

I am in an emotional affair. Fell right into it.

Interesting...Fidelity of the heart really needs guarding!

Nice discussion, I am in this dire situation, Im trying to get over with a married woman, hopefully I could overcome this

[stevenk-brooks]

No one seems to worry about friendship between two women who share deep feeling, including discussing problems in their marriage. But if those same conversations occurred with someone of the opposite gender, it would be considered emotional infidelity. Somehow none of the videos on emotional affairs even discuss this.

And hiding communication and even talking about his coworker when I am spending time with my bf

This is such an interesting topic. Would love for you to have a chat with Jordan Peterson, would be cool to have him speak to a Catholic about God. Would be incredible if it could happen

Hi Jason, Praise Jesus 🌿🌸....
This video you put up with Dr. Bob was a very interesting, sensitive and important topic. Unfortunately, the volume was quite low (especially for Dr. Bob) and we are losing the idea of this crucial message. I wish something could be done about the microphones and their volumes for the current video & the ones in future.
May God be with you and Bless your Ministry Amen.🌺✝️🌈🕊️🔥

Late at night
Trying to hang out with him alone
So wrong in my eyes

I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death.

I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse.


People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse.

I understand what you are saying in this video. But what about when it has been a sexless marriage for over 14 years. And then your spouse has Alzheimer's and can no longer connect with you properly.

I think love addicts and sex addicts are capable of having emotional affairs because I love addict is trying to get what they need from the sex addict and the sex addict is trying to get their need map from a love addict so if the sex addict is married and he turns to the love addict for emotional and sexual nourishment but usually it does start out emotionally and then it will end up physically and then sexually 1010 up an emotional affairs some sex addicts our love and sex addict so that is also a possibility that this would happen
