Ok here we go part two

[GoatGal]

For what it's worth.
I have three male FRIENDS who I occasionally text late at night, talk to on the phone, and see on a regular basis.

They are very caring and supportive. The also know I am MARRIED.

Just having a male friend does not make it an EA.

I am not talking about, nor doing things with them I would want to hide from my husband. I am an open book.

Lately, being "separated", I have been talking to them more.
Just like I've been talking to my female friends more.

But an EA means keeping secrets because we know what we're doing has crossed the line.

Do you REALLY know your wife is in an EA?

Sounds like you are, definitely.

Decisions should be based on FACTS, not feelings.

IMHO.
