Question

Have you ever had an emotional affair? What classifies an emotional affair? ?

Answer 1

Emotional affairs are usually the precursor to the physical aspect. When you begin to bond with someone other than your spouse, and you start feeling or putting distance between you and your spouse, that's usually when an emotional affair is likely to take place. That's when everything that your spouse becomes a problem, and they can't do anything right, because you've already begun comparing them to the new person in your life.

Answer 2

I have an emotional affair every time I see an attractive woman.

Seriously, my opinion would be if you know someone ie: from work that you have the hots for and always dreaming/fantasizing about making love and being with that particular person would constitute an emotional affair.

Answer 3

No i never had an emotional affair.

I think it means when you have feelings for another person and share personal things with them.

Answer 4

I am not an expert in this area but I think when you are with your husband and your mind is with another man is call emotional affair.

What ever come to mind and though to another person. As you are a marry woman and one day there is a very attractive man appearing in front of you. Than you starting to fantasy how he kiss you, touch you, undress you, and make love to you. For the though of him than give you all kind of sensational  run in your body.

If this is what you are experiencing, I would urge you to stop because though will lead to action than your married will go to h**l

Answer 5

Emotional affair is that you care about the other one and possibly love.  To me an emotional affair is no better than the act of an affair.   They both hurt and they are both wrong when you have promised yourself to someone.

Answer 6

emotional affairs are pointless

ive never had one

what classifies it is usually when a girl cant make up her mind

Answer 7

I had an emotional affair with another married person a long time ago and it lasted for almost a year.  We were both in troubled marriages and it was an escape.  Eventually we both knew we had to break it off and refocus on solving the problems in our marriages. We could not even remain friends afterwards because the emotional ties were too strong and  would have been destructive to our marriages.  I eventually divorced and remarried someone else.  I don't know about him.  I would classify an emotional affair as a non physical relationship that you feel the need to keep secret from your significant other.  

Answer 8

an emotional affair is when you invest more emotionally into someone that is not your significant other. like if you have a great day and you would rather tell someone else about how great it was instead of your husband. not a very good example but hopefully you see the jist.
