Emotional Affair - The Devastating Impact On Family Life

Your life, which was once lonely, scared, is now bursting with love
and energy. You are happy, euphoric even. You feel like you are
important to someone, loved and adored. Unfortunately, it is laced
with guilt too. This is because you are having an emotional
affair.Yes, the guy at the office, or the online fling, the ex
boyfriend that got in touch again; whichever one it is, they are
giving you what you need. And it is making you feel great.However,
there is always the cost. The emotional cost will take its toll on
your marriage and therefore on your children's lives. Your desire for
the your emotional needs to be met is paramount in your life and I am
sure you are enjoying having your needs met. But how much better it
would be if your husband had met your needs?Do you remember when you
and your partner were dating? How wonderful it was when you were first
married? Do you recall how you used to look at him, how you thought he
was the one that was perfect for you? The thing is you can get back to
that, it can be the way of life for you once more if you put the
effort back into your marriage.I appreciate that now you have the
support you need it is really difficult to let it go. But to get your
marriage back and the stability for your children back then you need
to put an end to the emotional affair.
Another way to look at it is,
how would you feel if your husband was having the emotional affair?
Would you be forgiving about it? If your emotional affair has
developed into hugging and perhaps even kissing...how would you feel
if your husband came to you and confessed he had been doing that
behind your back?Maybe you are having an emotional affair with a
married man. How is his wife going to react? Will he get kicked out of
his family home, torn away from his children? How will he then feel
about you?No doubt you both started the affair because there were
things lacking at home. He didn't feel admired, and you didn't feel
appreciated. It does take more work to keep those feelings alive in
your partner when there is the home and the family and work to take
its toll.If you are planning on staying with your emotional affair,
are you not planning to have a family? Live in the same house? Being
in pretty much the same situation as you are with your current
husband? So what is going to happen when things go downhill with your
emotional affair? I can tell you right now, even without knowing who
you are or where you live. The whole cycle will begin again, and your
new partner will be looking around to boost his ego with that hottie
at the office, and you will be the injured party.Of course if you have
children this means they get put through the whole thing again too.
