What do we think of 'emotional infidelity?' I am conflicted.
-
-
And how would it work with same-sex couples? Particularly women? Do other ppl see firm boundaries between couple sharing & friend sharing?
-
Is the boundary between emotional closeness and emotional infidelity abt a sense of being 'in love' & does this always relate to sexuality?
-
I cld see that I might find it a problem if my husband more emotionally open with another woman but harder to feel I had a right to object.
-
That would seem like an unjustifiable possessiveness. At same time, I cld say I felt like that & try to fix it from my end or leave, Dunno?
-
On other hand, if my husband shared more emotionally with a male friend, I'd not be threatened at all. I do this regularly re female friends
-
This is all hypothetical, btw, in relation to someone else. Neither my husband nor I particularly emotionally expressive!
-
Well, all of your replies indicate the same confusion I feel on the issue. Ppl talking abt all sorts of things from all sorts of angles.

It's good to be able to vent though sometimes my wife can feel hurt if I don't feel compelled to talk to her first.
-
I would certainly feel betrayed if my husband confided in a woman other than me and not me.
-
But is it just because he has another confidant who just so happeneds to be a woman or just another confidant in general?
-
A woman.
-
I mean if he is getting anything out of it beyond support from a trusted friend I don't see the issue myself.
-
I would feel a large part of the relationship had died. He turned somewhere else for that need.
-
I understand what you mean but at the same time I feel that this is more a problem on your end than those around you.
-
You do? Youd be fine with your partner getting her emotional support from another man and not coming to you with it?
