emotional affair?

Question

What exactly is this?

Answer 1

No sex involved. Just long, deep conversations that you could never tell anyone else about. Strong feelings for eachother.....you get the picture.

Answer 2

An emotional affair is defined as a relationship in which two people express thoughts, ideas, deep feelings, emotions and share experiences normally reserved for one's significant other. An emotional affair differs from a physical affair in that it is not initiated for simple sex. Emotional affairs are often viewed as being as devastating to a relationship as an affair that involves only sex. However, some argue that emotional affairs are more devastating to partners' original relationships because what most people really want is a deep and satisfying emotional connection. At least half of emotional affairs lead to physical infidelity.

Answer 3

A non sexual affair where you have befriended someone. The two of you speak intimately about private things. In my opinion, this is more detrimetal to your primary relationship than if you were having a physical affair. In an emotional affair, you've connected with someone emotionally. Not good if you are involved with someone else

Answer 4

It's when you talk more openly and honestly about your dreams, feelings and problems with someone other than your partner. It generaly happens because the partner (not the one having the affair) doesn't give their partner the time, attention and understanding that they crave. It usually is caused because the person (who's having the emotional affair) doesn't feel understood or respected by their partner. I hope that helped you. Have a beautiful evening and God bless!
