What do we think of 'emotional infidelity?' I am conflicted.
Yes but where is the boundary between emotional availability and emotional infidelity?

-
Boundaries are set by mutual consent.
-
Yes, I know. I am talking about the boundary between concepts. I agree its subjective but want to get opinions.
-
My opinion is "emotional infidelity" isn't a thing.
-
No? So you'd be OK if your partner shared more emotionally with someone else than with you? What about sexually?
-
Sharing "More" with someone else emotionally inherently means neglecting me. The neglect would be a problem, not extensive sharing.
-
I think it would be a form of neglect even if they only spoke to this other person a couple of times a week & lived with you.
-
Cohabitation ≠ closeness. But, I have a very close connection to my spouse, and don't feel neglected, so her friendships don't threaten me.
-
But if she was loving and attentive and in all ways close but just preferred to discuss her problems with another man?

For me, neglecting a parter or breaching their confidence are boundaries. Separate from "emotional infidelity" which I find a silly concept.
