What Is an Emotional Affair and How Does It Affect Relationships

An emotional affair involves deep emotional connection outside a committed relationship, often leading to betrayal and trust issues. It typically includes sharing intimate thoughts and feelings that undermine the primary partnership. Recognizing emotional affairs is crucial for maintaining relationship health and addressing underlying issues before they escalate.

a best friend of the opposite sex (same sex if you're gay/lesbian) with whom you share your deepest self.

and yes, i have been in one. it happens organically. your spouse/lover isn't there to bend his/her ear. this other person is.

i found myself in one once. didn't even realize it for almost a year. i'd known the guy since high school and thought i was being a good friend. there was obvious heavy sexual tension but i was able to look past it. he had a gf and i respected their relationship. however, i became the replacement gf when she was on business trips. he'd tell me their problems and i'd only listen. then inappropriate touching occurred. he started taking me out on ''dates''. then he started getting really jealous if i hung around other guys in front of him. it got intensely weird. everything finally caught up with me and i put an end to it.
