Although emotional affairs often do not include physical intimacy  they can take away from the relationship by encouraging one partner to get his or her emotional needs met elsewhere  and by bringing secrecy and deception into the relationship  which damages trust just as surely as if the partner had slept with the other person. Emotional affairs share three characteristics: Emotional intimacy. Transgressors share more of their inner self  frustrations and triumphs than with their spouses. They are on a slippery slope when they begin sharing the dissatisfaction with their marriage with a co-worker. Secrecy and deception. They neglect to say  We meet every morning for coffee. Once the lying starts  the intimacy shifts farther away from the marriage. Sexual chemistry. Even though the two may not act on the chemistry  there is at least an unacknowledged sexual attraction.  Often  people whose partners have emotional affairs either dont feel like they have a right to put an end to it (after all  the other person is just a friend and not a lover)  or they have to contend with the cheating persons evasions and justifications (we work together  were not having an affair)  and accusations that the jealousy or insecurity is not justified. It can be difficult to think of an emotional affair as a problem  even if its causing the partner worry  jealousy  insecurity  and the loss of emotional connection to the cheating partner. This book helps the reader explore whether or not the partner is having an emotional affair and then offers steps to discovering the roots of the problem  making changes in the relationship  discussing the issue with the cheating partner  and recovering from the breach of trust and intimacy caused by the affair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966567510069,"sku":"ByrdShop_1572245700","price":59.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781572245709.jpg?v=1770568720","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-emotional-affair-how-to-recognize-emotional-infidelity-and-what-to-do-about-it","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
