Surprising Differences Between Physical & Emotional Affairs

I've had men throughout my life tell me that cheating men don't stop. They might feel guilty for a while but once the guilt wears off they do it again. That is why cheating is a deal breaker for me. But I have been blessed with a very good husband!

I work in mental health. A relationship is already in trouble before this begins. Get into counseling. Tracking phones, texts is juvenile.

My husband has done both, right now I'm trying soo hard to get past the hurt, and try to save my marriage. Praying for a miracle

Emotional Affairs are physical affairs that just haven't gotten physical Yet.

What is the difference in recovering from or getting over an emotional vs physical affair? Does it take longer to get through limerence in an emotional affair? Or is it very similar in the majority of affairs whether they are “just” emotional or have gotten sexual too? Also, what about phone sex? Does that change the seriousness of the connection or the timeline?

Trust is broken..he told me he likes me but doesn't love me. I told him I love him but don't like him....never saw it coming....thinking back now he distant himself a very long time ago

I actually feel more concerned about an emotional affair possibility over the physical affairs. Especially since I know our physical relationship was very good. And tbh He is so emotionally closed off to everyone stating he will never get married or be in a relationship again…while admitting he is having physical relationships. This shows me his deep hurt (from way back and before me and yes some criticism and lack of appreciation from me over the last few years before he left 20months ago) is keeping him closed off to even an emotionally deep relationship. So I have confessed my part in our marital problems and have asked forgiveness multiple times. I have been working on myself and God has been healing me and directing me to be kind, unconditionally loving and forgiving, seeing him as God sees him.

I got feelings for my friend and she found that I kissed her in cheek's and she told I just loved you as friend.And she ignored me. We aren't talking now. I'm in no contact.. now what should I do to get her back?..

Is talking for hours a day in secret defined as emotional affair.

I am sorry to say but this description is too vanilla and doesn't touch on the chaos it presents. Its too much of a Christian approach

You clearly have never being in a marriage where your spouse has been unfaithful to you

I'm disappointed at your suggestions; Should be based more on science.
