If you answer "yes" to more than 2 or 3 of these questions, you are courting disaster in your marriage by being in an emotional affair.
Are you experiencing repetitive hostility and conflict in your marriage? Do you feel an emotional distance from your spouse? Do you find it difficult to talk with your spouse? Are you sharing more with your friend than you are with your spouse? Do you think your friend understands you better than your spouse? Are you sexually attracted to your friend? Is the phrase, "We're just friends", your rationalization for your close friendship? Does your spouse know about your friendship or is your friendship a secret? Secret till now! Do you look forward to being with your friend more than being with your spouse?
platonic friendship can evolve into an emotional affair when the investment of intimate information crosses the boundaries set by the married couple.
An emotional affair is opening a door that should remain closed.
