I stumbled on this interesting piece and definitely thought to share with you all!!
Absolutely. Emotional infidelity is the new threat to loving relationships. An emotional affair starts as friendship, often with colleagues or seemingly harmless online relationships, and slowly progresses to something more. A gradual blurring of the lines between friendship and deeper intimacy draws even happily partnered people into relationships they never saw coming. Many of us have a vision of infidelity in which one partner starts a torrid sexual affair and selfishly lives a double life until it all comes crumbling down.
Emotional infidelity couldn't be more different, which leaves many couples vulnerable to its damaging effects. A couple's best defense against emotional infidelity is to learn about it, then fortify their relationship against it. Attraction is one ingredient of an emotional affair. In order for attraction to launch into an emotional affair, a person has to also develop intimacy and, eventually, a feeling of connection with that person that supersedes their current relationship. In other words, attraction + effort + intimacy = emotional infidelity.
You agree????
