Yes, Sharing an emotional bond with someone other than your spouse breaks down the intimacy in your marriage. I consider it worse than physical cheating.If I get involved in am emotional relationship outside marriage, have I cheated on my husband?
If you have friends, aren't you involved in a relationship with them?
It all depends on how deep this emotional relationship gets. If its just pure fantasy and it goes no further, then its one thing. But lines get blurred.
For instance, why spend time in an emotional relationship with someone, when you have your husband who's there in real time sitting next to you?
Then the next issue is, why are you looking for someone to support you emotionally if you're married?
The first thing I have to ask is whether your marriage is broken. If it is, then try and fix it before you start going off into extramarital relations land. That place is a very difficult, hard and painful journey. An emotional friend is still someone who can be heartbroken just like you can.
You know, I have been married for years and have seen the conversation of ';emotional relationship.'; Just what the hell is an ';emotional relationship';? Like when I am trying to talk to my husband about something important to me and he is watching a sports program and that seems more important to him? Doesn't mean I ever went out and had an ';emotional relationship'; with another guy. It meant I was married to the man for better or for worse and it is what it is. Why put yourself in a situation and then have to second guess yourself. The crap does not work!
Long answer YES, with a but. Short answer YES. You see, any time that you are engaged in an emotional relationship that will undoubtedly take away from the emotional feelings that you've vowed to your husband. I.E. Keeping yourself unto him and only him as long as you both shall live. This statement is not only meant to regard the physical but more importantly the emotional aspects of your marriage. For what is a marriage if not an emotional relationship? BUT, there are schools of thought that will tell you that an emotional connection with a friend is just friendship without any physical contact.
I think that there are some underlying issues that need to be brought to the table before anyone assigns any blame. What necessitated your need to seek out this emotional relationship in the first place? Where you abused within the marriage either physically, mentally or verbally? Was there any undue stress in the marriage due to economic hardship, family interference?
Clearly there is a need to seek some form of counseling for either yourself or as a couple. It will all depend on what you want out of the marriage, and what you BOTH are willing to put into it...
Hope I helped, Good luck!
If you are having to ask,.....than you are feeling guilty....and than, yes....you are emotionally connected to another man....which is a violation and betrayal to your husband.
Emotionally connecting to another man means you share your joy, pain, dreams, goals, sorrows, fears......and those are the things that you should be sharing with your husband....who should be your best friend.
Emotionally connecting creates a deep lasting bond that will make a sexual connection even stronger.....so think about that one.
Try emotionally connecting with your husband.....be his best friend and let him be your best friend....and watch what happens.....awesome!
If you were having feelings that you wouldn't want to tell your husband about, then yes you were cheating. Just because you don't have sex with someone doesn't mean you didn't cheat.
I've always told everyone that cheating is something you wouldn't do infront of/ or tell your spouse about . ...
If you are giving more of yourself to this other man than you are to your husband and your marriage, then you have cheated in your heart. A good rule of thumb, if your husband were to do what you did, would you feel that he cheated on you?
You engaged in an emotional affair which can be almost as dangerous as physical adultery. You cheated in your heart. But it's good that you at least put an end to it.
YES - any emotional or physical relationship with someone other then your spouse is CHEATING.
then what's the point? the guy that you had that ';emotional relationship'; must have either been a p*ssy or terrible in bed.
How would you feel if your husband did the same thing? Would you consider it cheating? There's your answer.
Yes its cheating
Not really. It depends on the level of emotion.
yes
