The Warning Signs
28 January 2010
These are some warning signs of an emotional affair. You are withdrawing from your spouse. You are always being preoccupied and daydreaming about your friend more and more. You are not interested in being intimate with your spouse, either emotionally or intimately. The amount of time you and your spouse spend together is less. When confronted about the apparent emotional affairs, you respond, “We’re just friends.”
You find yourself anticipating when you can communicate or be with your friend again. Alone time together is important to you. You are sharing your thoughts, feelings, and problems with your friend instead of your spouse. You find reasons to give your friend personal gifts. Your friend seems to understand you better than your spouse does. You are keeping your friendship a secret from your spouse.
