"Was it actually an emotional affair?" "Was I really sharing too much with them?" "I didn't know I was crossing lines with them, how was I supposed to know....maybe you're just overreacting?" These statements and more continue to permeate session after session with therapists, infidelity coaches and even clergy members trying to help couples decide if the actions of an unfaithful was emotional infidelity or not. For some the jury is out and for others, the lines are crystal clear, black and white and undebatable. These definitions of emotional affairs vary among clinicians and 'helpers' but today on Ask the Unfaithful we do our best to point a way through the malaise of confusion, justification and despair. We'll be discussing 6 different signs you are either in an emotional affair, were in an emotional affair or concerningly, may be heading towards one now. We know most of our audience members have already been through the devastation of infidelity and/or addiction and if you've found us, you've probably already experienced this life altering trauma. But today, with our heartfelt compassion and respect, we'll provide critical insight into both what constitutes an emotional affair, what can be seen as unsafe behavior by an unfaithful and how to stop it before it escalates even more. If you're involved in a friendship that may not actually be crossing lines yet is your partner's radar, today's podcast sheds light on how to ascertain whether or not you or your partner are in emotional or relational danger and how to rescue yourself.
