It usually happens by accident. You don’t seek this person out. It is more likely that you are trying to fill a void you may not have known you even had. One day you find yourself chatting to the attractive new face in the office and the next you find yourself so drawn to them that you have regular lunch dates and share intimate details about your life…including problems you may be having in your relationship. But this is all innocent enough, right? Think again. Here are some signs that you are having an affair of the heart and what it means for your relationship with your significant other:
Signs you are having an emotional affair:
You are always excited to see them even though you see them quite often.
You start dressing up more around them in hopes that they will notice.
They are the person you turn to BEFORE you even turn to your partner (IF you even turn to your partner).
You find yourself confiding in them…even more than you confide in your own partner.
You find yourself talking about them all of the time to your friends or even to your partner. With your partner, you find yourself leaving out bits and pieces of the story because you know your partner might get suspicious.
Conversely, you find yourself purposefully NOT mentioning them to your friends or partner.
You are flirting with them and they don’t shut it down. (And hey, you both kind of like it)
They are flirting with you and you don’t shut it down. (No, they are not just being friendly)
You go for lunch or dinner regularly. You tend not to tell your partner.
On more than one occasion, you have fantasized about being with this person.
You feel like you have something to hide from your partner.
