EMOTIONAL AFFAIR - Signs This Happening In Your Relationship [8 SIGNS]

[@cynthiaa2782]

Emotional affairs do not just happen. They are kept secret because your spouse knows it's wrong, sinful and deceitful.

[@KristinCoaching]

There is definitely secrecy going on most of the time when emotional affairs are happening, absolutely.

[@junimarifam]

Agree 1000%. I am currently going thru it right now. Wife of 16 years doesn’t even want to talk and wants to get divorced because I am such a bad guy. But at the end of the day, I know it is because of the affair partner/friend. I discovered it 1.5 month ago and it is still going on. On her phone all day, never talks around me, has alienated mutual friends. I wish I could fix things but have pretty much given up since she is not interested.

@@KristinCoaching what if they deny having it? They make you look like you're insecure, you never let me do anything, just trust me I would never cheat on you and they convince you and still carry on knowing that you're hurting

[@dan3696]

"It's nobody's fault". I disagree. It's the fault of the partner having an emotional affair for not directly addressing any issues they may have had in the relationship in the first place. Simply going out to seek something that seems to be missing in your relationship is unfair and cruel to your partner. A responsible person who cares about the feelings of their partner wouldn't do that; they would confront them with some problems from the beginning.

My ex boyfriend did this with his coworker, and when I told him how it made me feel, he said I was being needy, and when I asked him to cut communication, he said I was being controlling. His coworker was married and they were good friends of ours. I had asked him if he thought her husband minded that they spent so much time together and his response was “If it’s a healthy relationship with trust, it’s not a big deal.” He wouldn’t change, and I eventually broke up with him. She ended up leaving her husband, and the two of them started seeing each other and eventually got married. They deserve each other, and I dodged a bullet.

I have always suspected my wife was cheating on me. We have been married for 15 years now and its been a smooth ride until last year when she changed and started seeing other men. A friend of mine linked me up with a great hacker Cyber Hack who helped me hack into her phone, I had complete access to her phone right on my device and I could monitor all her activities for the past 2years and also have access to new notifications, her location, call logs, text messages and all. I was left with no other choice.I loved my wife so much and I just dont know why she chose to betray me, I have been a good husband and never for once cheated on her. I tracked her down to a hotel where I found her with another man . You can contact them at cyberhack003 at gmail or Whatsapp [phone] or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into her phone without even touching her phone.I have enough evidence against my wife now and I am thinking of Filing for divorce. I want advice from men and other women on here, should I give her another chance because of our kids or file for divorce ? We have a 4months old baby. People will forget what you SAID .People will forget what you DID But they will NEVER forget how you made them FEEL.

This video validates all that I feel in my relationship with my wife. She tells me I’m overreacting. But I am feeling all the signs the author describes. I have been made to feel stupid and insecure in my relationship with my wife of 30 years, by her. We are in the process of divorcing and I cannot wait to walk out the door. What the author is talking about is so true, especially the gut instinct. And of course its easy for the cheater to disregard my claims of her infidelity cause there is no “physical proof “. Well you cant hide your lying eyes...

[@terrywade3696]

Lame advice! There is blame here. The cheater is to blame. They chose to cheat. They chose to lie. They chose to keep secrets. They chose someone else. They chose to take away your choices by keeping secrets! They chose to victimize you. They chose to be selfish and do as they pleased at your expense! They chose to build their ego at your expense! These things don’t just happen without blame. They’re bad choices the cheater chooses to make deliberately against their partner. There is blame & it’s called, BETRAYAL!

[@joannedobkin3363]

When my husband was on a lunch break walk a female coworker asked to join him alone. Hello lady did you think his wife would be fine with that ? What kind of person is she ? Obviously it was wrong because he wouldn’t allow me to do the same. I found out seeing a text asking to walk with him again next time he’s at the office. It happened many times without being told it was kept secret and she told him intimate things about her home relationship. Not cool especially when she’s the HR person. Should know what an employee boundary is. Walking in a group fine alone with the opposite sex that’s a date.

[@SaystheTruth3]

[@burt2800]

Yes there is blame but blaming someone in this kind of conversation will likely result in them becoming defensive. You might be in the right about the blame but that doesn't make it an effective communication strategy.

[@tuffstuff2U]

If you're having an emotional affair please clean up your life and be honest with the person you're cheating on. Stop using other people to get your needs met. If you feel you can't get your needs met with your partner then give them the respect of giving them the option to get out of the relationship too. Stop being selfish, and start being honest. Honesty is the highest form of respect you can give someone so if you really love someone you'll be honest with them. And if you're not getting your needs met then make a clean, dignified break. Communicate! You're not 2 years old. At the end of the day we're all adults and we should act like one. If you want your partner's attention, intimacy, and love then ask them for it. Stop trying to use other people to fill your miserable void.

[@gregorycarlson6632]

I’m a professional who had helped many people navigate these rough waters over the years . Kristin is spot on. Her point 7 is, in my experience, the most important; appearance. This is much better noticed in women for obvious reasons. They, as Kristin put it, go that “extra mile “ to look good when they will be in the presence of this individual. They spend more time primping; every hair in place, special attention to makeup , outfits, jewelry, fragrances, etc. I liken it to getting ready for a first date. My best advice is to confront it immediately. It is vitally important that they know that you are not oblivious to what’s happening. It’s not going unnoticed. Don’t allow an emotional affair get to the point where there’s no turning back.🤔

[@jinnantonix4570]

I think all of the points were spot on. That is from myself, after I had an emotional affair with a female coworker. I am 60, she is 40. Her motivation was that she said she was splitting up with her husband who she said was not good enough and had banished to the spare room - she was looking for "connectedness", was determined not to have a physical affair, but instead to have a friendship with a nice guy (me) - and I was willing to be a beta guy for her. My motivation was that my wife of 30 years went into menopause and stopped having sex with me. Over time I resolved my issues through honest conversation with my wife, the threat that I may need to find sex elsewhere, and eventually her agreeing to HRT. However by the time this had happened, the emotional affair was a powerful bond that my AP did not want to break, and I felt she needed my support. Finally I ended it, rather abruptly, when I realised that she was having delusional thoughts about monkey branching to alpha males who she thought would become a stepdad for her 3 kids, so she could then ditch hubbie, that she was treating her ex very cruelly by withdrawing sex, and not being honest with him. Of course she is now very angry with me, but ending that EA was necessary for us both, and for the sake of our spouses.

[@biancaopala99]

Happened with my husband...used to always wear sweats and a hat to work ..now he held his hair and wears more form fitting clothing. He said he gets comments now from coworkers that he's so handsome and admitted he did this to impress the coworker he is having an emotional affair with

[@djuanaberuk9908]

I listened to this 2 years ago when I was going through this. This was and is excellent advice. However, with more clarity I would add that the emotional affair is the foreplay before the sexual connection they are trying to establish. Usually, one or both have something to lose such as a spouse or boyfriend,girlfriend or career. They are establishing the emotional connection "friendship" to determine if it is worth it but remaining technically on safe ground. Some co-workers remain in these emotional affairs for years. I found that calmly stating that I was fully aware of what was going on, how it made me feel and that I was not going to "play along" helped tremendously. Being understanding of the other person's weaknesses and our own is important too. Don't be mean or unkind to them but definitely begin to make the moves you need to prepare for a split. I found a new job temporarily, new location, start doing those things to improve yourself physically, mentally (counseling), spiritually. I sought counseling to save my marriage, then counseling to be a better wife to my next husband with no bitterness. Take some short weekend vacations with friends or alone. Invite your spouse but don't cancel because they don't want to go. It takes a long time for your spouse to get the cold water to the face sometimes and one day they realize what they have is worth keeping or they move on. Either way be ready and be happy for them and yourself.

[@BBSAXX]

When you find yourself playing along that it doesn’t bother you to your core beliefs, and they keep the affair going, you pretty much have the answer you were looking for, it’s basically over for the relationship, and I say, go, you want to continue this then go be with them. Best wishes, just don’t plan on coming back.

[@sewing33]

I was being the trusting husband. I sent my wife 1800 miles away to see her childhood friend for a couple of days. It is true about the gut instinct. Last week I checked her email, Facebook and phone records. He (they) were calling at all hours for a week. Then I noticed that she had put Google Voice on her phone. She claimed it was just a friend. But when I asked her if that was the last time, I asked her to swear on-our kids lives. She told me she hadn’t reached out to him since then. I found out just a week ago that texts were exchanged. I just recently found pictures, nothing crazy wise but why? Now I find Facebook messenger convos with other guys that she was good “friends” with when she was a teenager. To say I’m devastated and confused is an understatement.

[@reitzl]

C Owns I went through the same thing with my husband of 44 years. He reconnected with his first high school love this past year. It went from FB private messages to a meeting months later. We live in the mountain west, and she lives on the east coast. We have property in the same state where she lives, so it was a great excuse to meet without me. (The excuse was that he was going out to meet his buddy who also owns 1/2 the property.) That was the beginning of the emotional affair they began. I actually thought my husband and I were on solid ground, but apparently he thought he was missing something from our relationship so he began reaching out to her. I found out just five weeks ago about gifts and money he sent as well as a round trip ticket he paid for to bring her to our second home for a week! All unbeknownst to me. I trusted him too much. We are working on our marriage and he feels very remorseful, so I am hoping there is hope for us.... Good luck to you and I hope your wife is willing to work on your marriage...

He would stay out late every day and like avoid me which was really strange. Turns out he was talking to a coworker after I found a woman’s work top in our laundry. He confessed that they would sit in his car a couple times a week and talk for hours and he was becoming emotionally attached to her. The girl had a bf and they would confide in each other about their relationship problems. Told me he cut off contact with her but I then later found out he was lying. Never confessed it was physical but I’m sure it was as well. He said he did it because he liked the attention and blamed me for not giving him enough love and attention...

Love hurts when you deny the feelings.... you just become so depress and don't know what you should do. I learned not to stop resisting the feelings. It hurt so bad to finally figure out why I felt the way I felt when I first saw her. I just knew something, but I didn't think it was love... she helped me by telling me I was doing the wrong things in life and I needed to stop. I was like who she think she is my mom, but she was caring and showing affection for me. I was blinded and didn't know why she questioned the things I did when there were other boys that were doing the same. She picked me out of the other boys... she also saw something in me when I looked into her eyes. I saw something and she saw something when she looked in my eyes. I didn't want to think I loved her because I didn't want to wait for any girl, but I am. She helped me so I'm helping her by telling her it's ok not to be ok. I pray for the ones to stop denying your feelings for someone you truly love or you'll become depress until you figure out why you have strong feelings for that person.

Great video. Trust your gut and get out of the relationship. The deception, lies and selfishness must never be tolerated or excused. Get out asap.They don't care and won't change. You cannot fix others. Why rekindle or hold on to such a negative relationship dynamic? Why live in fear of the poor behaviour of others ? It was all a pack of lies. Forgiveness is admirable, but reconciliation too often binds us to those who will continue to do us harm.

My husband told co workers female and male about the way I was when starting menopause and my temper and jealous streak especially the female ones really embarrassed me, I couldn't control what was happening to me it really upset me even more, he spends alot of time on his phone, day and night no communication at all or very limited communication, he's very stand offish with me or very short tempered I have been open with him he's just angry or not bothered the next with me, noticing my bad points from my good points, and I do have more good points than bad but he doesn't wanna go to a shop with me not even the cinema no where, even before lock downs, I just stopped talking and speak now when spoken to, because I'm sick of being criticised, if I spoke how you are to try and talk he'd tell me shut up and you live in a fantasy land, I just give up.

I'm single like a lone wolf.. But how do I stop an emotional attraction with someone I have to see a few times per week? I know there's no problem with being attracted with someone if you are single, however I just wanna be capable to cut it off this even when I have no partner. I just wanna have self-control over my feelings. Greetings from Colombia South America..

[@DagToreLarsen]

Emotional affairs are a true sign that whoever they are having the affair with are an emotionally better person for them to spend time with and it's time to end the old relation and move on to the new one, because if the spouse or significantly other was their true soulmate, they would not feel the need to be emotionally connect to another person. Witch is a tell sign. So, I think it's better to just acknowledge the facts instead of avoiding the real elephant in the room. As humans we want to be with the person who we feel most emotionally connected to. It is not something that can be faked or forced. Either you have an emotional connection or you dont. If you have a strong emotional connection with your partner, there would be no need to seek out others as a genuinely emotional connection makes you feel seen and heard and understood, but lack of such connection will lead to one need, want and seek such connection. Just be open about it. Do not cheat. Cheating will hurt more than being honest. Just acknowledge that sometimes we end up in a relation that was not the right one for us. Either it was wrong time or place or circumstances, but at the time it seems like a connection but after meeting with your true connection you realized that it was not so. We are all people and we all do mistakes in life but we learn from our experiences and every experiences teaches us something so do not think it was waisted. time because everything we experience in life is shaping who we are as humans even if it happened to be a karmic relationship that purpose was to teach us something about ourselves that we did not know. Know when to fix the past or move on to the future. Not everything can be fixed and it is not suppose to either. Life is short and full of surprises. Life your life without regrets.

Thank you so much for the upload. Really appreciate it have a question and that emotional affair happen between your wife and another female coworker could that resist between two females

[@gregorycarlson6632]

As a professional dealing with this kind of thing, I think the first step is where it’s one sided. They have an infatuation with someone. A “crush” on this person. The red flags are the same as in my other post. Confront it! Of course, they’ll deny it. Perhaps you are the one who has a “crush” and you’re telling yourself it’s a “just friends”. Whether it’s you or your partner, ask this question. How would you feel if this person finds a new love interest? Would you be genuinely happy for that person? An HONEST answer to that question tells you all you need to know. 🤔

Wahhh so detailed and comprehensive. I am so impressed. Good teachings indeed. What you have described here almost happened to me.

He was very covetous of his phone and I brought it to his attention and he is now not taking calls in my presence ; however, I don’t like that because he is now more sneaky. Example , he’ll go outside and do some chores and be on his phone while out there!

[@Tbn48ibp]

He was addicted to porn and confessed that to me and said he gave it up cold turkey …but I don’t buy it. A 14 year obsession ya just don’t end without help. I don’t know. He otherwise was a very good guy but he’s got thst hang up. I broke up with him because my sanity was more important than any happiness we could have had. Had he signed up for counseling I maybe would have stayed

[@dustinquinton]

She said at the end of the video that it’s no one’s fault. Yes it is. It the fault of the person who had the emotional affair. Many times, the person who is committing the affair reaches out to someone else before they even speak with the spouse. Speak with your spouse, go to counseling, tell them what you need, and if it doesn’t work out, go your separate ways.

[@anithaprakash8538]

But when talk openly with them about their emotional affair they refuse to agree what to do at this point...

[@KristinCoaching]

Well, I mean an "emotional affair" is just the label, right? So if they refuse to call it an "emotional affair" you have to start speaking about how your partners actions are impacting you and the relationship in a negative way. That they can't deny.

[@cmockingjay7265]

Did that which caused more lies and gas lighting. I finally had to be the adult in the room. I finally had to say “if your no willing to be honest and own what you’ve done, I can’t move forward with you in any kind of a relationship. I went no contact and then divorce. We also have to know our worth because lying, cheating and manipulation is not love. I call these folks cowards, I want someone with honesty and integrity.

[@Tbn48ibp]

My guy has been behaving well lately and super attentive and respecting my boundaries but he’s in a rush to get married. I feel like he’s going to change as soon as he “gets me.” The reason I think this is because early in our relationship if I pulled away he was super attentive and when I was giving him attention and letting him be certain I was crazy for him..he’d pull away …

1 if someone an affair without sex, is that really cheating? 2 can people have emotional affair with their ex boyfriends and girlfriends behind their husbands and wifes back? 3 what type of affair is only holding hands and kissing and hugging without having sex with them?

[@BBSAXX]

Unfortunately so many who are having the emotional affair will validate it by blaming you for the reaching out to others. This is exactly why the most difficult part is not accepting the blame fully. My SO and I counseled and the counselor dodged all the questions of concern I had. The affair then gets too hard to accept, separation or worse is now in the inevitable future. They, you’re SO has to have the power to cut ties, or it will be doomed, and time forward, will be a waste of energy and emotions.

I think my bf is doing this and we have been fighting about it and it’s very hard for me to stay calm he told me he wants to hang out with his female co worker outside of work and that I’m not allowed to go as well and told me he don’t want to make her feel like a 3rd wheel he tells me I would not not like how close they are as friends and that I’m not stable because How crazy Iv been acting about her.

My husband retired not too long ago but he has a co-worker which he says they are just friends. When they talk he goes off to the farest part of the yard and talks to her or goes to the street. Another time he disappeared and had ice cream with her without telling me. Another day they had pizza and he did the same thing. Another day he went to a doctor's appointment with her and that's when I confronted him. I asked him if he loves her and he insists that they are just friends. I don't trust him anymore because of his lieing. They still talk but he doesn't hide like he used to and not as long. I can't help but think when I'm not around they still comunicate. I asked him how would he feel if I go out with a male friend and have coffee. He didn't say anything. Anyway this is the stage I'm at now. I'm angry, hurt, and yes I feel insecure.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 years. He has been having an emotional affair with one of his coworkers without me knowing for approximately 2 years. He says they’re only friends. As far as I know they only see each other at work. They do occasionally go to lunch with each other. He says he doesn’t want her physically and that he loves me, wants to move in with me in another year when his daughter and my 2 children are gone away to school. I asked him to stop texting her about non work topics. He flat out said no that he won’t do that. I’m desperate to hear what or how you can help.

[@lochan8180]

FOR MARRIED PEOPLE: The feeling that you get in an affair can NEVER be love. Love comes from God, the same God who designed marriage and commanded us to honor it. I truly believe that God will not contradict Himself and put love in your heart for someone else other than your spouse. The feeling you have for the other person can be LUST, ATTRACTION, ADMIRATION, or any other feeling that satan will USE to destroy your marriage (and push you to commit a SIN by breaking the VOW that you made before God). The devil will make you believe that what you feel for this other person is love when in fact it really ISN'T. That's what satan does. That's the reason he's called a LIAR and a DESTROYER.

[@periculumesse1525]

My wife loves the TV. She spends more time with it than me. The dishes and laundry are more important than me. So, if I look outside of our relationship for some companionship, why does it surprise anyone? I would rather spend time with my wife/partner - but when we spend time together she has almost nothing to say or complains about her work. There are so many victims here, who take no responsibility for treating their partner as a roommate - and wondering why the heart goes elsewhere.

My bestie is kind of going through a mess. I’m not saying it’s right but I disagree on the not your fault point. If the relationship is toxic /has been for extended time and the needs and boundaries have been expressed over and over, and an unwillingness/mental gymnastics still continues.... by this I men still making one feel bad, hurtful manipulative comments, complete intolerance to the notion of say counseling (resulting in ones mental breakdown and being hospitliazed) ... continuously breaking up with them but then deciding on their own that said breakups never happened... do you blame someone for not feeling great in their relationships? I’m nit saying it’s ok for her to go seek whatever In someone else (personally my vice is admittedly complaining to my mom and girl friends), but as the... um “ lucky “recipient of her constant drama, my fake is that at a certain point the partner has to take responsibility for emotionally shitting on the other! I think the solution is calling it a day, but I don’t think either one is really letting go...

Man cheats: man’s fault Woman cheats: man’s fault What I learned from a marriage counselor. When your spouse acts like a 5 year old that needs to be entertained 24/7 by something (including phone); that is no longer a marriage.

[@francesdumaliang6132]

The fact that an emotional affair is happening in the first place shows a total violation and disrespect to the other partner. And I would consider it cheating. If your partner is committing to an emotional affair with somebody else, then it’s painfully obvious that they have no respect for boundaries...for whatever reasons or excuses they may have. They need to be mature , have respect, and demonstrate regard for their partner at all times. If my partner has committed an emotional affair with someone else (which means he’s cheating), then I would leave the relationship immediately - he is not worthy of my love , time, and energy. He is selfish and needs to work on himself. I love and respect myself too much for anyone to disrespect me in this manner. I’d rather be alone.

For me I think it was more the lies and deceit that sobered me up very quickly to the realisation that a whole area of my husbands life had been kept hidden and perhaps that he was not the man I thought he was- it’s a very confusing time.

[@helena7991]

Guilty as someone who's had emotional affairs whilst with boyfriends, usually I did it subconscious as an indicator that I wasn't happy in the relationship and no that didn't mean I was going to cheat physically it just meant that the person was fulfilling me emotionally more than my partner's at the time and I kind of have no guilt about it because I suspected they did physically cheat on me/mistreated me to the point of crying on someone else's shoulder.and shortly after I broke up with them. First of 1.it does not mean you want to bang them 2.it does not mean that you will want to be in a relationship with them if you we weren't together.it might be a connection but doesn't mean you are compatible. 3.it could lead you to breaking up 4.talk about it openly of course people can still find other people emotionally attractive in relationships and find what you two are doing that's making you emotionally unstaifiyed maybe it's a lack of communication
