At work, I spend a lot of time with the guy in the cubicle next to mine. A friend suggested that I was having an emotional affair. Since we aren't having sex, is there anything so wrong with that when it gives me something to look forward to every day? |

We all need friends and confidantes and we can't expect our partners to fill all of our emotional needs. But, ask yourself a few hard questions here: Do you look forward to this man as the high point of your day? Do you find yourself daydreaming about him and thinking that if only you weren't married, something more would happen? Do you share thoughts and feelings with him on that you don't share with your husband? And, most importantly, does your husband know about your friend and how do you feel about telling him? Your answers will tell you the answer to your question. If deception is involved and you'd never want your partner to know, then you are in a full blown emotional affair and the fact that you aren't having sex doesn't change that. |
