Why or Why not?Is an emotional affair just as detrimental to a marriage as a physical one?
It is much more dangerous for a marriage should your spouse connect with someone emotionally than physically. Anyone who finds himself or herself drawn to another person on an emotional level should consider the possible consequences of such an affair. Emotional affairs are just as likely to lead to divorce and physical affairs.Is an emotional affair just as detrimental to a marriage as a physical one?
An emotional affair involves much more than just body parts, it involves your actual feelings and how you want to spend your time %26amp; who with. MUCH more detrimental. I have never had an issue when my lady was with another guy as long as it was just sex. When she started caring about his feelings or worrying she had upset him is when I sat her down and made her discuss who she wants to be with.
I think a physical affair is worse because it introduces the possibility of STDs and babies. Emotions come, and emotions go... For example, angry words can be exchanged in a fight, but as time passes the emotions fade. Emotions can be overcome. But the remnants of a physical affair have the potential to be life-lasting.
Yes, because such a fine line exists between emotional and physical affairs. I feel like at the emotional level is where the actual conscious decision is made to ';love'; or be with someone else. If your other is willing and ready to be with someone else then as soon as the opportunity presents itself it will morph into a physical relationship. emotional cheating is the first step in my opinion.
At least if not more. Some people can just have sex just for the sake of sex. That is a betrayal of fidelity. But an emotional affair is falling in love with someone else. That belittles the love and commitment you have/or had with the one your cheating on.
Yes - Absolutely - when you engage the emotions you engage the heart, when you engage th heart, you change the world.





you can never go back, ever...you must live anew
I think an emotional affair is worse then a physical affair because your feelings and heart are more involved.
Anything associated with an affair is detrimental to a marriage. Its still betrayal.
An affair is an affair. It doesn't need a sub category........ sheezeeeee.....
