Happy Friday!

Just a follow up to yesterday’s entry about the woman whose husband had sent over 500 emails to a woman he used to work for.

My wife made a good point when she read it, saying that since the woman had to go searching for the emails – he obviously hadn’t told her that he had been in contact with the woman from work. This makes the emails all the more suspicious and the whole deal way more shady. Good point!

Let's continue today with another point about the emotional side of cheating.
Keep in mind that inappropriate behavior isn't limited to having sex. Developing emotional ties with someone (in the place of what you would normally feel for your partner) is just as bad...maybe worse. In fact, the woman that I described yesterday asked specifically if her husband was having (emotional) feelings or "just sex". In her context, the emotional cheating was worse than the sexual cheating.

Some people call this having an 'emotional affair'. I don't know what you call it. I just know that your partner is your emotional priority, and substituting anyone in that position is wrong.

If you find yourself in a position where you're obsessed with someone, or relying on someone (other than your partner) for your source of emotional strength then let me encourage you to reconsider, back out of that relationship and focus on your partner.
