7 Signs You Could Be Having An Emotional Affair

February 3rd, 2012 - By Julia Austin

"Couple laughing"

Do you have a lot of male friends? That’s fine! It’s healthy to have friends of the opposite sex. They can give you insight into the mind of man, and they can be adorably protective in a big brother way. But, how do you know when you’ve crossed the line from just caring about each other as friends, friends with their own partners at that, and instead, find yourself having an emotional affair?

    I can admit that I had an emotional affair with a coworker years ago. At the time I don’t think we knew what it was or we did and we just didn’t care. He would tell me all kind of mean things about his girlfriend as if he wanted to convince me that he wasn’t that into her. We were both in relationships but there’s no doubt in my mind that if we weren’t we would’ve have pursued plus the rumor around the office was that we were a couple already. We kept in touch after I left the job but I haven’t seen or spoken to him in three years but I think about him all the time. It seemed so innocent but emotional affairs are real and I think can lead to more if both people allow it.

    Thing is guys know this, they are purposely there so their can be a shoulder to cry on then they go in for the kill.

    I think the women in this situation should ask themselves “Why am I doing this? What is missing in my relationship with my boyfriend to need to develop this relationship with my male friend?”

    I do believe people are stupid and scared and sometimes shy away from a relationship that could be fullfiling to settle with another secure guy. Sadly being secure doesn’t guarantee being happy.

    Girls stop dating the wrong guy and this is from a guy who purposedly turned down a wonderful guy out of cowardice.

    To me it is all about respect, basically treating others as I would want to be treated.
    Its that simple, if I wouldn’t want my man canoodling extra close with other women even as platonic friends, then why would I canoodle with someone else’s man?
    Don’t create an environment for lines, even emotional ones, to get blurred or crossed.
    Yes I have a few guys I am cool with at distances, out of respect for myself and their situations and that’s where it ends.
