How can you trust your spouse ever again after they lied?? It was a quick emotional affair that started harmless and didn’t last long… but the lying and sneaking for that time period baffles me. How can u trust this person ever again??

[@hb9018]

Forgiveness. And communication - vulnerability from both sides.

[@banderson5676]

I tried this and gave her a second chance. Nope, it happened again.

[@Mamaohhh04]

@@banderson5676 sorry to hear that. My husband claims it want even an emotional affair. Because it was a legit reason he reached out to this person and needed continued contact for a period (which he did) but they developed a slight friendship during this time and some things I saw said i felt was flirtatious. One thing I saw was a private matter brought up which really ticked me off. So although nothing huge, no plans to cheat or stuff like that it was stiii imo wrong and crossed a line. He apologized and said he really didn’t think it was bad but recognizes that the secretive nature was definitely wrong. Whatever…. Lying and sneaking no matter the reason is wrong and it’s now his fault I’m leery. I truly hope this won’t happen again because it really bothered me a lot. If it did idk if I could forgive again…. That would shows pattern of poor judgement and poor behavior as a spouse. Might be hard but gotta draw the line. What are you doing abiut your wife having done it again? How bad are her emotional affairs??

When the cheater is a narcissist, even time CAN NOT change the narcissist. By Amelia

[@azeemsarfarazlexicon101]

Oh God. You stole my words.

[@azeemsarfarazlexicon101]

I hope doctor can take this question up in one of the future episodes

[@Fairgreentube]

I was thinking just that. A narcissist can hold a mask up pretending to be someone else for years or decades if they have enablers to protect them from being exposed. I believe this is first and foremost the most important issue to investigate before deciding to work on the marriage. If you feel like things get better and then revert back to the original norm, that’s a behavior pattern. These tend to always repeat based on supply and demand. Narcissism is personality trait that usually will revert back into its comfort norm. This applies to everyone narcissist or not. It’s just our comfort zone. Some stuck in a relationship with a narcissist could relate to this trauma bond. However, this content is relevant for someone that recognizes their narcissism thru self reflection and awareness. Takes responsibility for their words and accountability for their actions. Takes the time to figure out they’re utilizing their child mindset to make adult decisions. Then understands how they got to this point. Understands behavior patterns replay like cycles until you address the motive. Then meditate and pray and consciously work on a plan to result in a different outcome. Here’s the problem, this takes time and effort, and a lot of work with a lot of people do not have in this day and age.

It's more like i don't want to put up with them! Rather be alone a few good years happy . I like your video s. Helpful.

[@JRWatchman85]

Thank you. Your videos have been helpful to me. I have been in an emotional affair with another woman, been on dates and we have kissed. The other woman also thinks I am separated from my wife, which isn't the case. I am lying go both of them because of the intense emotional connection formed with the other woman. I feel the constant battle between logic and my emotions.

[@TomikaKelly]

Hopefully your wife will muster up the courage to leave and find a husband who will truly love and respect her.

[@BeatrizJohnson-x5z]

@@JRWatchman85 how dare you do this to somebody that you’re supposed to be loyal to, would you like it if she was doing this to you the grass is not always greener on the other side and anybody could tickle your ear when they’re not in a relationship with you, the newness is a façade. You better stop , nip it in the bud and hope the person that is loyal to you, never finds out, HOW did you even believe this is ok?? You should be saving all that emotion for the person you’re supposed to be in a committed relationship with not some outsider, this shows what a weak person you are and you obviously think you’re entitled.

[@jamescreek1319]

Your in limerence leave the co worker and go cold turkey if you love your wife get another job somewhere else if necessary you have to stop now and get away from your temptation otherwise you will get caught and lose your wife and the other co worker will get over the infatuation and dump you and your going to be a mess and broke and alone.

[@niemi5858]

While respecting the education and experience of marriage counsellors, I think it's foolish to try and save a marriage when your partner has an affair. Can a bell be unrung? What's the point of living in fear of a repeat occurrence and constant paranoia? The person the has the affair has already abandoned the marriage and if you still love them, then give them what they desire - a release from a marriage bond so they can live unfettered to a committed relationship. If there are minor children in the relationship, then having an affair instead of getting a divorce or separation beforehand, to my mind, is a form of child abuse in that they certainly weren't the first thought when the affair first began. Being from a broken home is less traumatic than living in one. If you fear leaving a cheating spouse, always remember, they will eventually leave you if they predecease you and you have to learn to start over anyway. If you don't love yourself, it's hard to love anyone else.

My lover loves my elder sister but he says he doesn't and that he loves me only. I can't leave him nor can I stay without him

[@FreeSpirit47]

Just say, "NO". Having done it, I know it can work.

[@MarriageHelper]

Hey Brenda, thanks for sharing. Are you saying that you have had an emotional affair but ended it? We appreciate your transparency regardless. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you!

[@mariaboll5596]

My husband drinks every day and is emotionally abusive calling me names making me feel worthless saying that I caused him to you yell at me we we have been separated for two weeks now and he wants me back, but I am not ready to have him come back. What is your thought on that thank you.

[@FunkyChichi]

@@mariaboll5596 unless he is going to dump the drink, I would say dump him, but I know firsthand that this isn’t necessarily an option, especially if you’re dependent upon them with small kids 🤯

[@BeatrizJohnson-x5z]

He needs to stop drinking and its not going to happen over night, he needs to feel the loss, if you take him back now without him, making any changes, he will be back to insulting you once he has the next drink

[@deliagonzalez1044]

[@bethbluett4211]

Limericks? What is that.

[@plgrey]

I think he’s saying “limerence.” It’s like obsession, hot and heavy emotions, fantasies, unrealistic expectations and lust (contrary to true long lasting love, where you overcome and solve problems together and grow despite ups and downs).

[@pocatelloman51]

MISSED One Very Important Point here . If a Person is Getting Feelings from Someone in a Emotional Affair , It happens for ONE REASON = They are NOT Getting them Feelings AT HOME . -------------- Your Partner is Talking to Someone , Guess what ? That is Because YOU ARE NOT TALKING AND SHARING WITH HIM . BOTTOM LIKE FACT .

[@jamielc3437]

@@pocatelloman51 i know ppl who tall to their partner and they still talk to others

[@BeatrizJohnson-x5z]

Then it’s not the partners fault who’s not doing the emotional cheating it’s the emotional cheater for not being able to communicate with his partner, honestly and openly, before including outsiders, and if they’ve tried everything to get that met and it’s not gonna happen, then grow some balls and walk away don’t cheat because you just lowered yourself
