I think you have nailed the essence of my husband's very public emotional affair, and the internal issues within. It's hard to get my husband to see it that way, but surely his own words say he needs to be admired. Interesting article! |

What on earth does "living life from the core of who one is" mean, for one thing. And what does it mean as the opposite or alternative to living off the emotional juice from the fall-out of emotionally intense relationships. Is their core not a drama-seeker? Is it the case that whenever a person creates drama this is a defect that can be corrected as not a part of who they really are? Is everyone's core calm and uninclined to drama? |

Marriage is only a contract. True love is something else |

Sound like you hit the nail on the head...my wife went through this las December.....it was awful!! after numerous talks and her "agreeing" with "him" that nothing would occur from it, and about $500 dollars in additional cell phone charges to his phone...I finally had enough and packed up. Only then did she realize what she was doing....and things have been progressing....it is a slow process....but both of us need to work on things....I of course requested she no longer converse with her co worker and she DONT EVER forget about the two of you......losing you focus on each other only opens the door to this....it is hard work....but that is what marriage is all about right.
Take care all who read this.

Do you have anything on jealousy in marriage? When is jealousy reasonable and when it is not? |

Left out of the reasons for an emotional "affair" of the "just friends" variety is the plight of a caregiver of a chronically ill spouse. This person first of all needs a healthy person to interact with, since the stress of caring for a sick person can cause depression and a lowered quality of care for the spouse. A friend of the opposite sex who is cheerful, supportive, understanding, kind and loving can make a huge difference in helping the caregiver to remain positive and emotionally fulfilled. That is not to say that there is not the problem of sexual attraction in such friendships, but mature adults will understand that lasting friendships cannot survive the betrayal of one (or both) of the parties of their spouse or significant other. If you treasure the friendship, sexual feelings will not be a problem. I know, I am in such a relationship with a woman now that is mutually beneficial but helps me to remain balanced and sane while caring for a spouse who has been ill for many years. |
