How to Tell If Your Partner Is Having an Emotional Affair

Having an emotional affair is always detrimental in any healthy relationship

. This goes by the saying that if your partner is strongly attached to the third party, then most likely they're having an affair together. Use the following indicators below if you're suspecting that your partner is having an illicit affair with someone.

Don't be a green-eyed monster. Remember that before you two met, he had past relationships with other women and reconnecting with them doesn't necessarily mean his having an emotional affair.

If the third party turns out to be his old friend, try to respect their emotional bondage by not crushing it. You don't know if she once helped your guy to deal with his miserable life in the past. Unless you have a solid ground that she's a threat to your relationship, you should treat her as a mere friend.

Ask some questions. If you think that your partner is starting to become emotionally attached to the other woman, now is the right time to ask yourself the following questions:

Is he spending more time at work than he used to be?

Are you noticing more excuses that he's too tired when he's with you?

Did he just turn himself into a distant or distracted husband?

Does he always talk about his newfound friend?

Communicate. Communication is the key and you might get your answer by asking him directly. If he talks a lot about this girl, then ask him who she is. Always remember to keep your cool and avoid being accusative. The same goes to your girl who seems to like to spend much time on her newfound friend rather than with you. Tell him how much you've missed him, and you're interested to know what he did while he was gone.

Secretive behavior. Is he hiding his emails from you, constantly deleting his internet history or simply ignores your calls or text messages because he's too busy? Then he must be hiding something from you. As always, secrets are bad in any relationship, whether he's having an emotional affair or just about anything.

Suggest you meet his friend. If he's spending so much time with that woman, tell him you want to meet her. When that happens, pay attention how she behaves in front of you. Does she know a lot about your relationship? Is she avoiding your partner when the three of you are together? Does your partner touch her even if you're there? The presence of guilt is enough to convince you that something is going on between them.

Be strong and get the answers straight from him. Don't let your tears run down your cheeks and ask him if he's having an emotional affair with that woman or not.
