maybe her parents should grow up and see the damage they are doing, christ almight doesnt anyone believe in working on marirages, you both are going to be emotionally scarred, both of you need to seek therapy

When your are married, you are supposed to be commited in all aspects (emotionally, physically, etc.) An emotional affair is when a spouse confides in another person and stops communicating their feelings with their spouse. An emotional affair can often hurt more, or as much as a physical affair. Chances are, if the dad is always near the phone, he is having more than just an "emotional affair". The best thing you can do is be supportive to your friend. Assure her that this is not her fault and encourage her to communicate her feelings to her parents. Perhaps they will be a little more discrete if they know it hurts her. Good luck to both you and your friend

There are 4 elements to profiles. Emotional is the heart. It is an unmeasurable. No one can measure another's pain, joy, sorrow or anger. The other 3 are physical, the body... like land, home, health, family... Another is spirit, which is also unmeasurable and usually undescribable as it is invisible or intangible. The last is MIND. This is your resources of career, knowledge or the ability to discover skills, knowledge.
We suggest writing about those until the writing makes sense. Like discussions but where she or he may hold and study the words and story. It could help ground her while you are unavailable. It won't hurt to write about these things. Greet her with joy and compassion each time she comes. Make no judgements but be a soft place to land ...not fall. Eventually, even if she doesn't see you... she will remember your supportive attitude with gratitude and it will sustain her. Bless her in your attitude. bless you.

this has happened to me. my ex-fiance and i broke up because he was having an emotional affair with an old lover of his.
basically, he was not having sex with her but was maintaining an emtional bond...see i would have rather he slept with her and got it over with, but he kept a relationship open with her which is worse because it is more personal...sex isnt always personal,but emtions run deep. it was as if he needed the extra attention and instead of asking me for it, he reached to a female outside of our relationship. hope that helps

i believe what a woman needs is understanding basically.
show her and display understanding, especially emphathy. Communicate to her through body language and with words that you will be with her throughout this trying period. (:
hope this would be of use.
