(UAE) So many people still refuse to accept the concept. It happened to me. I agree it feels just as bad as if your husband had slept with the other person. Why is it easier for men to open up to other women and not their own wife and then say it’s in your head, nothing happened we didn’t sleep together, like that is suppose to make it better?

(NIGERIA) I just experienced this in my relationship. My wedding is in six months and I just found out she was getting emotionally attached to somebody at work. I would call and get a tired response and then she would pick her phone up after my call and used up her credit calling him. The truth is that only God can help in this kind of situation. We are working at healing the relationship now…

(NIGERIA) Thank you for bringing up this subject. One thing I have noticed is that very few people are aware that there is such a thing as emotional infidelity. More emphasis is always placed on the physical act.

I believe the difficult part is actually confronting your partner with the issue, especially if he is not aware that such a thing as emotional infidelity exists.

(USA) Hi, I just saw a pastor preach on this subject and was very happy I could come hear and read about it. I will say I have had this kind of thing happen to me many times over my life and did not even know what it was tell now.

I have been saved for 26 years and have just in the past 5 years experienced leaders in church settings crossing the line on this subject with me or maybe it is just me thinking it is going in the direction for I have a real hard time getting attention from other men other then my husband of 16 years … I feel that sometimes leaders in churches get an ego rush when women need help in emotional areas… not until now did I know what was going on or what to call it … so thank you so much for having more info for me to read.

(USA) I believe that there is such a thing as "emotional adultery" because my husband did that to me. He carried on a phone affair with my first cousin for a month and a half. It hurt me so much because he would talk at times for over a half hour to her and when I would call him, he’d say after three minutes that he would have to get back to work.

After I found out (from his cell phone bill) about the affair, he blamed me and said he did nothing wrong because he didn’t have sex with her! It hurt me just as much as it would have if he did actually have sex with her. And to make matters worse, I was already pregnant and we planned the baby. He called her from our bedroom while I was in the living room watching t.v.! For all you out there who think that there isn’t such a thing –wait until it happens to you!

(KENYA) Emotional Adultery is something that one may not notice at the beginning until it has gone way far. Sometimes it may appear like just some innocent closeness. Married friends, pray for your day that God will care for you. Satan comes like a good thing.
