Platonic friendships and workplace relationships often turn into more than just an innocent friendship; it can very easily turn into an emotional affair. It can be very easy for parties to cross boundaries of emotional intimacy, sharing intimate details that should be exclusively reserved for a conversation with their husband or wife. When these emotional boundaries are overstepped, the partner has taken the first step into the zone of emotional infidelity. Emotional infidelity can be just as detrimental as a physical affair.
Is It An Emotional Affair?
1. Do you confide more to your friend than to your partner about how your day went?
Yes/ No
2. Do you talk about negative feelings or intimate details about your marriage with your friend but don’t discuss them with your partner?
Yes/ No
3. Are you completely honest with your partner about the extent of your involvement with your friend?
Yes/ No
4. Would you feel comfortable if your partner heard a conversation with your friend?
Yes/ No
5. Would you feel comfortable if your partner saw a videotape of your meetings?
Yes/ No
6. Is there any sexual tension in your friendship?
Yes/ No
7. Do you and your friend touch and act differently when you’re alone versus being with others?
Yes/ No
8. Are you in love with your friend?
Yes/ No
Now, add up your score, based on the points for each answer:
1. Yes= 1, No= 0
2. Yes= 1, No= 0
3. Yes= 0, No= 1
4. Yes= 0, No= 1

6. Yes= 1, No= 0
7. Yes= 1, No= 0

You have given up your right to be concerned with what she does while you’re off gallivanting outside your OWN legal relationship.
What a silly position to be taking!
After taking this Q/A I know that my wife Nedra is having an affair………….damn
No-one can fall in love but just seeing soomen online or talking with them on the phone!! Wait until he visits you as then you both will know whether there’s any chemistry between you both. Seeing facial expressions online is vertually impossible, so don’t be fooled until you meet him in person.This is no affair, just a by chance meeting.
This is very interesting, You are a very selkild blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I’ve shared your website in my social networks!
Let me spell this out in simple, easy words. You are not in love. He is not in love. He does not exist. He is not conimg in July and he has not told your parents about you.What you are is commonly known as living in fantasy land , also called being in love with the idea of being in love . You have made up a make-believe boyfriend and decided to pretend he’s real. Now turn off your computer like a good girl and live in the real world for a change. That’s where you meet real people and find real boyfriends.
