Are you having an "Emotional Affair"?
Just because it's not physical or sexual doesn't mean it's harmless. Emotional affairs can be just as detrimental to a relationship if one or both partners believes it is infidelity or cheating.
Emotional affairs usually start out as just friendships so it may be difficult to determine when it crosses the line.
Here are some signs that a friendship is entering the danger zone:
- You Can't Stop Thinking About The Other Person ~ Get out of my head. Every thought, and everything reminds me of them. I save fond memories in a special place in my mind so that I can retrieve them whenever I'm feeling down or blue.
- You Get Butterflies ~ Your stomach goes topsy turvy when I know your going to see them.
- You Dress Up ~ Nothing like a new outfit and some new smell goods when you're going to see your "FRIEND".
- You'd Be Upset If Your Partner Was In Doing The Same Thing ~ There is no better reality check than finding out your partner is doing the same thing. "So you're the only one who can have a friend?"
- You Start Contacting Each Other At Inappropriate Times ~ It's 2:00am and you're texting each other while hiding in the bathroom. That's just wrong!
It's a slippery slope to catch yourself before you take a tumble.
