Nice to see someone happy their spouse worked through it. Are you the wife or husband?

While I will carry the emotional infidel label forever, I am grateful that my spouse gave me a second chance to be a faithful spouse and parent.

I am going through the same thing after 23yrs of marriage. I am filled with mistrust and doubt and it’s really hard to get it out of my mind. It’s a constant reminder of what going on in my life.

Gary, this is exactly (well, no tattoos, but you know what I mean) what happened with my wife. As we’ve worked on her other, physical affairs, she has come to realize that she had an emotional affair with the woman she thought was her BFF. I found it insightful that she came to that realization – before I ever did – that despite the lack of romantic or sexual activity and feelings, it was still basically an emotional affair.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I wish you well.

She essentially took the emotional intimacy and connection from me and gave it to her friend. She was spending more and more time at her house buying her gifts, getting matching tattoos, pouring her heart out to her, venting and complaining about me all the while never uttering a word to me as to what exactly she was unhappy about. Her friend became to her what I had always longed to be. It may not have had romantic undertones but all the same mechanisms were at play and it was just as damaging.

Some I find helpful some are so so.

My husband of 23 years had an emotional affair with an old classmate. They both denied it when I discovered text messages (by accident) and even calls on his cellphone and later incriminating evidence in his email.

They both denied it and am not sure if they have really stopped it because my husband changed his Cell numbers. He has learned to trash emails and text messages after sending them. Now he is into Viber and spends all his waking hours on his phone or his laptop. I feel so insecure. I don’t really know what he is doing but I dont want to go through the emotional pain of discovering that he is cheating me again. I have become distant to him and treats him just like a companion and lover.

I feel I’m in an unhealthy relationship. I’m so unhappy.

Unless it can take away the sting of the affair it is useless to me?

My husband had an emotional affair for 5 years. Coffees, drinks, phone calls, texts. I did not know about the existence of this other woman during that whole period. I just knew things weren’t right. It turned into a full sexual affair, and he finally fessed up. We are not together any more but he still can’t see that he did anything wrong for that 5 years.

I discover my husband having and emotional affair, which I’m 99% sure turned into full blown affair, with my “so called girl friend”. We went for marriage counseling which did not work out. Now one & a half year later he is still denying it saying that they were just friends & he was venting. He also has a Nacissistic PD which I found out in the meantime. Blames his behaviour on me and everybody else. I moved out a year ago & am ready to call it quit. He stoped the affair but is still lying & I don’t intend to live like this, with a cheater & liar for the rest of my live
