You don't have to have sex to have an affair. If you are kissing, making out, you-know-whating, or even flirting with each other while you are already marriedor going steady with another person, that is an affair.

This is a tough one...some say yes and some say no. The people that are saying no, then most everyone on this earth is having an affair. Even if a person is married, happily, and people are considering flirting an affair...then I should have been divorced a long time ago. I admit that I flirt but, nothing else comes out of it. So that makes me having an affair...I don't think so. An affair begins when the feelings become serious. Serious meaning you start considering getting together to touch, kiss and have sex, sexual things. So I say that is does have to be sexual.

No, you do not have to have sex to have an affair. An affair is emotional and not a very good idea. Anything that takes away from your relationship is an affair. People do it all the time over the Internet, cyber sex is not actual physical contact but is still an affair.

No...you can have an emotional affair which can be just as devastating as a physical affair. Any time a spouse steps outside of the marriage to discuss their feelings and thoughts with someone else, that to me is wrong. My ex husband had an emotional affair and the thought that another woman knew my business drove me nuts.

An affair is lust.. trying to get away with a secret between 2 people, behind their husbands and wive's back, for sexual fantasies, that you couldn't do with your husband or wife. If it's not sexual, than it's really not an affair.

I'd say that if you are even carrying on a non-physical romantic relationship with someone other than your spouse then it is an affair. Of course, it will be a lot easier for your spouse to get over it and your marriage or relationship to bounce back if there is no mental image of you sleeping with someone else. But in my personal experience, I've found that as soon as you have the desire to find someone else, the marriage/relationship is going to end -- its just a matter of time.

An affair can be mental or emotional. When a married person confides in someone continuously other than their spouse that can be considered an affair. When they long to be in someone else company or they think about someone else much more than their own spouse are considered affairs.

The best affairs are non-sexual, that is - enjoying the attraction and getting to know the person for who they are. Afterall, it is the journey - not the destination - that counts. I will refrain from examples, as this is a private matter between two people. :0)

NO.
Just the touch, way you two talk to each other, the signals your two send via eyesight if your not together at the moment kinda stuff, gets into your brain, its an affair, just as wrong as if you had actually had an affair.
