Have you ever had an emotional affair?

I'm having one now,and it might sound weird but I feel like it's making me and my relationship with  my husband better, because we don't fight and I'm just always happy. 

Tell me about yours if you had one before

I had a brief one with my brother in law. The attention & dirty talk kept me going but it soon ended. It was for the better.

yep, pretty much in the same position you're in

I don't know. Does it count if there's a mutual attraction, love even, but the people never talk about it or act on it in any way? It was an unspoken thing. We never did anything that could be construed as unprofessional, but the feelings were there.

Yes, but not in years. My SO, and I took some time apart I met someone else we dated for a while, but it got too serious for me so I cut it off. A while later SO, and I got back together then the other guy would randomly call, or txt me. I'd tell him I miss him, and in my mind I did prefer him at the time, but I realized I had to just stop talking to him altogether.

Yes, I'm having one right now. I don't feel the slightest bit guilty, though, because he has a long-term mistress.

Honestly? To many to count. :( i'm not proud of it & have worked hard to just be honest when he's neglecting my needs. He's the only sex partner i've ever had & I plan to keep it that way!

He = my DH

 Yes i have and it made my relationship with my husband worse; i was distracted thinking about the other man and i was daydreaming alot about all the ' what if's". The man i was "friends" with was from Europe though so there was really no way it could ever work out. I felt a major connection with him and i feel like i may have known him in another life.. My husband found out and was deeply hurt, we worked through it and are at a better place now, it made us stronger.

That made me laugh. My fiance thinks I should have just married my best (gay) friend and had sex with other people, because we're basically an old married couple in every other way.
