Are You Having An "Emotional Affair" (Fellas: What the HELL is That?)

What are signs that you are having an emotional affair?

If you have a feeling that what you are doing is wrong or are unsure if a new friendship is inappropriate, there are some tell-tale signs of an emotional affair that can confirm your behavior.

Here's a confirmation list:

• Most or all of the meetings and conversations you have with the other person are kept a secret from your partner, friends and family.

• You say and do things you would never do in front of your spouse or significant other.

• You share emotions, ideas and thoughts with the other person that you don't with your partner.

• You are increasingly preoccupied and find yourself "daydreaming" about the other person.

• Interest in sexual or emotional intimacy with your spouse has dwindled or become non-existent.

• You feel like your new friend understands you better than your partner.

• You think crush-like thoughts and about your possible future with this person.

• Increasing sexual tension is present and you often touch this person in "harmless" ways, such as a pat on the back or touch on the arm.

If you identify with these signs, you could be on your way to a full-blown affair -- complete with emotional and sexual betrayal. It's important that you recognize what you are doing, and if nothing physical has happened yet, you may be able to turn your trouble around. If you feel that you want to (and can) save your relationship, you need to come clean with yourself and accept your transgressions. It will take work, but it is not impossible.
