This is a follow up question to another I had asked a long time ago. I came to the conclusion that my wife is having an emotional affair with another man. What I mean is that my wife is emotionally attached to another man.
Anyway, my question is, whether this emotional affair can be termed as cheating on me?
yes that is considered cheating when they become emotionally involved
technically no, emotionally yea, i guess…but im not married
In my humble opinion, they are the same thing.
It is fine to have friends of the opposite gender, and if you do you will be invested in them as a person. But since you weren’t specific I will conclude that she is doing more than being friends. It may not be considered an affair but it is a betrayal of trust if she is pursuing deep feelings for someone else. You need to talk to her, not in anger, but in an attempt to find out what she is missing in your relationship that she would need to be on such personal terms with another man.
yes… an emotional affair is deep
yes. but you have to get confirmation before you jump in to conclusion,since you have to talk cool to her whether she is in really in emotional affair with some one
As an infidelity couples counselor, I will give you a resounding YES it is cheating. In fact, it’s often much harder for couples to reconcile after an emotional affair than a physical affair. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions.
oh yes! it does they cant think about anything them and it affects your marriage and life in every aspect. Ask her what you are not giving her that he can. Im not saying its your fault but maybe there is something she needs emotionally that you arent giving her. I had this happen to me and didnt realize that I wasent giving him everything he needed emotionally
I think an emotional affair is cheating

tough one, I think yes.
I think if a marriage is important to someone, they should be willing to un-friend some bad influences. This guy sounds like one since he’s causing problems in your marriage.
I consider that cheating..
It hurts just as bad as them having a physical affair..
It’s maybe a good idea to talk to her and ask her why is this happening, what it is that she thinks is missing in your relationship…i know how you feel because my husband of 2yrs reconnected w/his ex and they’ve been talking on the phone and emailing each other for a while. good thing, she leaves in another state now…but who knows,right? in my opinion, i think there’s only a matter of time to jump from an emotional affair to a physical one. Approach her and tell her how you feel, don’t do the same just to make her jealous..there’s no way something good will come out of it. Communication is the best. Worse case scenario, she’ll deny…like my husband did…but i’m not gonna leave it at that. There is a problem and we’re going to solve it…one way or the other. Good luck to you…and..good luck to me…i hope everything will work out.
Of course it’s cheating. She’s disrespecting her marriage and she’s giving emotional affection to someone who isn’t her husband. Yes, she’s cheating.
Yes it is cheating. If it is not physical yet- it soon will be
yes its still cheating, its usually the beginning of a full blown affair.
