Could You Have Stopped Your Spouse From Emotional Cheating?

Emotional cheating is one of the most difficult forms of cheating for a relationship to recover from

. It's more than a simple matter of infidelity. Many people can convince themselves with infidelity that at least the love was still there. At least it was only about sex and not the deep connection the two of you once shared. It's more difficult to overlook the connection that exists in emotional affairs or cheating.

Then, along comes the guilt. Could you have prevented it? Is it all your fault? What could you have done differently so that your spouse wouldn't have cheated on you in this devastating manner? How can you keep it from happening again when you were so powerless to stop it this time around? The endless swirl of questions and doubts will drive you to the brink of insanity if you allow it to.

The truth is that hindsight always allows us mere mortals to look back and see the signs of impending doom that we were unable to recognize for what they were before. It's always so much clearer looking back, when you know the ultimate outcome than when you're right in the middle of life trying to figure out where to go and what to do next.

Could you have stopped your spouse from emotional cheating? It's possible. But it would have required a perfect storm of events to take place in order for that outcome to have happened. The problem is that you can beat yourself to death asking what if and it doesn't change the outcome at all.

Emotional cheating is creeping into marriages all over the world. There are many things to blame. One reason many people believe they are becoming so common is that as we become more connected online we become more and more disconnected with the people in the our daily lives. We pull away from the people we love and are able to connect with total strangers across the world or around the corner.

The distances and perceived anonymity of being online allow people to open up more than they would ever dream of with people they see every day. This makes people ripe for emotional affairs because they reveal more to the people they feel they will never see and stop sharing with the people who live with them and sleep beside them day in and out. Could you have prevented that? How do you compete with that?
