Today’s most harmful form or cheating is having an emotional affair. Most of the time they start of harmless but turn into something much more scandalous. Sometimes event the spouse can misread what is really going on. Follow this guide for a better understanding of what happens in an emotion affair.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    If you justify talking to this person and stating that they are “just friends” and you often find yourself thinking about this person when you are with your spouse this could be dangerous.

  2. Step 2

    Another sure sign is when you can’t wait to see them again and find yourself anxious to let them know the latest and greatest news going on in your life. You often find yourself sharing things with this person that you don’t usually share with “friends”.

  3. Step 3

    You start thinking this friend is closer to you and understands you more than your spouse does; you begin finding faults in your spouse and sharing them with your friend.

  4. Step 4

    If you start spending time by yourself with this person and exchanging gifts you are treading on thin ice and need to decide if this is really what you want in your relationship. You may have to rethink your idea of “friendship” if you are truly not trying to have an emotional affair. Be careful how you continue this relationship; this can cause big problems in a marriage and even cause a divorce.
