To post to your original question, somewhere on this website I once came across information from a Newman, I believe, who had a MLC and later ran a MLC website. He claimed that some incredibly high percentage of men in MLC claimed they didn't have an OW ... while 95% of wives were certain that they did. I know that my own H, although returned from the alien spaceship, and having broken off all contact with his OW 18 months ago, still rejects the term Emotional Affair. He would prefer to believe that only PA's exist--and those are had by morally reprehensible men. I daresay the men having PA's would argue EA's are the true affairs. And so statistics-gathering becomes very difficult!
