We talk about affairs in the physical sense such as someone cheated, ran away with someone else, kissed an ex, and other similar situations. We don\u2019t often talk about the ramifications and the reality of having an emotional affair. An emotional affair can start out with the simplest and best of intentions. Someone finds a new friend, connects with them, and eventually finds them more emotionally fulfilling than their spouse or significant other.<\/p>\n

When you are in a relationship there is a certain moment when you realize that you\u2019ve overstepped the boundaries of friendship. If you are single this can be a great way to develop a relationship; however, if you are already in a relationship with someone else you run the risk of seriously jeopardizing that relationship in order to seek emotional or physical fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Emotional affairs<\/a> are secretive and covert, filled with conversations and little moments that you don\u2019t feel comfortable talking to your partner about.<\/strong>\u00a0This is a major red flag. You should always feel like you can share things with your friends but be transparent with your partner at the same time.<\/p>\n

If you are thinking about engaging in an emotional affair or you suspect your partner is embarking on their own emotional affair, here are ten things to watch out for.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Someone else\u2019s name is coming up in conversation more frequently.<\/strong>\u00a0If your partner is mentioning a new friend, they might seem bubbly, smiley, or otherwise happy talking about this person. This isn\u2019t a bad thing at all because they can be excited to expand their social circle. However, this can also be a hallmark of an emotional affair.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. They deny their connection.<\/strong>\u00a0Even if they are seeing this new person frequently and are taking away time from you, they will act like it\u2019s not a big deal.<\/p>\n

    3. They leave things out of their story.<\/strong>\u00a0Your partner might tell you some of the story or half of the details in an effort to get you to not worry. They know the truth of their connection with this new person could hurt you.<\/p>\n

    4. You don\u2019t know where they are or who they are with.<\/strong>\u00a0You start to question where they\u2019re going and who they are going with, and they evade your questions. They hide evidence of their emotional affair and act more secretive around you than before.<\/p>\n

    5. They pay more attention to their looks.<\/strong>\u00a0If you notice that your partner is dressing up more or putting in more of an effort with their appearance to see this new friend, this can be a red flag. This could also be an indication that they\u2019re just trying something new, too.<\/p>\n

    6. You stop communicating.<\/strong>\u00a0You and your partner might see a slowdown in the conversations you have. Those deep, connecting conversations keep us close together, and they might be going elsewhere for those life-affirming talks.<\/p>\n

    7. You aren\u2019t physically close anymore<\/strong>. They are withdrawing from you emotionally and might start to withdraw physical contact as well. They might want to spend more time alone or with other friends than they do with you.<\/p>\n

    8. You bring out their bad moods and spark irritation, even when you aren\u2019t doing anything wrong.<\/strong>\u00a0You aren\u2019t the problem but they are, since they are the one having the emotional affair.<\/p>\n

    9. Your long-term goals start falling apart.<\/strong>\u00a0As a couple you have ideas of where you want to be a few years from now. You might have talked about having kids, about moving to a new city, or about buying a house. Your partner might start changing their ideas of what they want.<\/p>\n

    10. You\u2019re the brunt of criticism.<\/strong>\u00a0Your partner starts to become more critical of your flaws and your character as they invest emotionally in someone else. We all grow and change, but your character shouldn\u2019t come under fire because of their affair.<\/p>\n

    There is no easy way to spot an emotional affair. If you suspect your partner might be having an emotional affair, talk to them about it.\u00a0All relationships grow and change, and people don\u2019t always stay in love.<\/strong>\u00a0However, you can watch out for signs of an emotional affair and see what you can do to keep your relationship intact.<\/p>\n
