You have a fabulous partnership built on love, trust and fidelity so you would never cheat, right? Wrong. We all know that infidelity is one of the hardest things to get over in a relationship and one of the most damaging as well. 
But having sex with someone other than your lover is not the only form of cheating. Emotional infidelity is just as bad and sometimes even more destructive to your marriage or relationship. It isn’t about where it will lead, it’s about where it has already gone. If you are experiencing any of the following issues, you may need to rethink your favorite past time.
Do you share intimate details about your life or relationship with a member of the opposite sex?
Do you get excited to see, talk to, or instant message someone other than your spouse or lover? (this doesn’t mean your best friend either)
Do you meet alone for lunch, drinks or any other type of engagement?
Do you enjoy harmless (by your definition) flirting with them?
Do you secretly email, chat to or text a member of the opposite sex without your spouse/lover knowing?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then you are committing emotional infidelity. Any type of feelings or emotions you have for a member of the opposite sex that are being kept from your spouse, is being unfaithful. Even if you never so much as hug this person, you are transferring vital marriage energy into their hands, therefore damaging your relationship. You are relating to this person but at the same time, relating away from your partner.
Stopping this type of behavior is the single most important thing you can do for your marriage or relationship. Imagine the shoe being on the other foot and you are the one who is being taken for a fool. I bet it would make you think twice about sending that next text message or email. If focusing on your current partner is not important to you, then be fair and end it. Nobody likes a two timer.
