Emotional affair?

[Issy777]

Please can someone explain what an emotional affair would be?
What constitutes one ? And what signs to look out for?

Also, is an emotional affair worse than physical? 

Racecardriver that's a really interesting perspective.

As is yours, InteriorLulu. Can I ask InteriorLulu whether yoir husband and you worked things out?

@Italiangreyhound Yes we are still together, still rebuilding. We've been married for 25 years and together for 26 but I've known him longer than this as we were in the same group of friends. It's fair to say that I know him quite well and apart from this one situation there has been nothing in all the time we've been together. He's always been flirty and is charismatic and women have always responded to this - sometimes they've been a little close for comfort, but there's never been anything to worry about. For some reason this one got through and these are things we are working out...how she was different, why he felt it was OK. We still have a lot of talking to do.

The key thing to us staying together was/is his absolute remorse and regret and his willingness to repair things.

That sounds like a good way forward.
