An Emotional Affair

There are two types of affairs that your cheating spouse can be involved in. They are emotional affairs and physical affairs. Of course, there is the one night stand, but I don't consider that an affair. Sure, there were emotions and physical contact involved, but because it was only a night, I wouldn't call it an affair.

Today, I'd like to talk a little bit about emotional affairs. Obviously, an emotional affair is when your cheating spouse becomes emotionally involved with another person. But everybody does that, right? Sure, we all do. However, a cheating spouse will take this emotional relationship beyond what would be considered acceptable by most of society.

When your cheating spouse starts to share intimate details with the other person, it means that he has become emotionally attached to that person. He has built a trust that should be reserved for you. He shares details of your marriage, your sex life, and the other things that should be kept private between a husband and wife. He becomes attached to this new partner, relying on her, and allowing her to become a bigger and bigger part of his everyday life. Eventually, he will start complaining to her about you and everything you do wrong. He will begin to feel as though this new person is his souldmate.

So, how do you know if your spouse is involved in an emotional affair? Well, some cheaters are very good at hiding their feelings and covering up their actions. However, one thing is guaranteed...the more he becomes emotionally involved with the other person, the more he will withdraw from you. You will notice that he is no longer interested in talking to you about his day. He no longer complains about the stuff that used to really bother him. He spends less time with the kids. If you pay attention to these things, you'll figure it out.

It is important to note that, although many emotional affairs end up becoming physical, not all of them do. Don't accuse your spouse of cheating unless you have proof!
