8 signs that your partner is having an 'emotional affair'

(Baonghean.vn) - Adultery is a terrible thing that no one wants when entering a marriage, including mental adultery.

Mental infidelity means that you are a married person but your mind is always filled with images and thoughts about another person. Even worse, you still have desires and even think about having sex with that person. It can be said that this is a “strange” concept for us, but most people do not know or always deny that they are or have ever had mental infidelity.

Below are 8 signs that your spouse is having an emotional affair and ways to help you resolve the problem to maintain a happy marriage.

1. Lying often

Although not like real adultery, emotional adultery is still like an "addictive substance" that gradually seeps in, accompanied by a feeling of excitement when meeting the partner. From then on, they always live in the feeling of longing for the next meeting or simply a text message, a phone call from the other side.

6. You and your spouse start to drift apart.

According to expert Marcia Naomi Berger, emotional infidelity also affects the level of physical intimacy. When your partner is less emotionally available to you, physical connection is easily neglected. The person having an "emotional affair" may be fantasizing about being close to their "lover" in their mind.

7. Obsessed with phones

He used to have his phone everywhere in the house, but now he keeps it with him everywhere and feels uncomfortable when you touch it. According to expert Jennifer Chappel Marsh, this is a very worrying sign. "People who are having emotional affairs are often obsessed with their phones. If he is constantly checking his phone for new messages, constantly updating himself on social media, it is very likely that he is emotionally invested in the life of someone other than you."

8. Don't want to talk about the person you suspect

Expert Kurt Smith says that when your partner stops opening up and sharing information with you, there is definitely something wrong, even if it is not always an emotional affair. And it can be extremely worrying if your partner refuses to talk about the person you suspect.

Or, according to expert Zach Brittle, if your partner insists to you that his or her relationship with someone is "just friends," it's actually a very worrying sign.

If you are just friends with someone, they may say "My friend Tom" or "My co-worker Jenny" but they will not explain their relationship to them as "just friends". The meaning of the phrase "just friends" suggests that the person is protecting something that you are not aware of or feel uncomfortable with.
