Secrecy Is The Key
February 7th, 2010 by admin
The answer to determining whether behavior can rightfully be classified as an affair is whether or not there’s confidentiality regarding the outside involvement. Since confidentiality is a critical component of strong emotional affairs with someone other than your partner, it is (even without involving “intimacy”) still an affair.
It’s been clear that for many years that it’s the “deception” (whether intimate or emotional) that creates the most long-term destruction to the trust and the future of the marriage. Most people recover from the fact that their partner had intimacy with someone else before they recover from the fact that they were deceived. An affair, in the final analysis, is more about “breaking trust” than about “having intimate relationship.”
