Emotional affair or nothing?

Would you consider 100s of messages on your partners phone to a female friend, even without sexual content, an emotional affair or just friends chatting?

And would the same be true of a similar number of messages to a male friend with no sexual content?

Why would it be if a heterosexual man is texting his male friend all the time? Of course not.

@Lala727 I read the entire thread... I'm still not seeing the emotional affair unless there's additional information that hasn't been posted?

What shocked me the most was one saying that he would be with her if it wasn't for our child but he cant leave them.

Did you miss this then?

@Lala727 just wanted to say I've been thinking of you and hope you're doing OK. The rationality in your posts is actually incredible considering how destroyed you must be feeling

Thank you, in person is a different story but that was kind.

I would class it as an EA OP. That's based on my experience last year and it ended in a physical affair that he had behind my back.

I would be cautious.

I can't think of a reason to stay up talking to someone else with that type of longevity you have described unless there was something else behind it.

To me, it also sounds an intimate thing to do. Trust your gut.

I too have been thinking of you, @Lala727. Are you moving forward with getting your affairs in order?
