What do we think of 'emotional infidelity?' I am conflicted.
-
-
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.

No & No. Most couples have areas of deep intimacy (personal & exclusive). In general women share more detail & greater emotional content
-
There is no boundary between being emotionally close & being in love?
-
Of course. In degrees of "closeness" and "emotional intimacy" this would be at the top end of a mythical scale - however it's measured!
-
But no, I don't think it relates to sexuality and no I don't think 'emotional fidelity' requires being 'in love'
-
So, would it be a problem if your partner shared much more with a female friend than you? Think its a relief to my husband!
-
It's more whether a partner shares everything with others. Boundaries should exist & require mutual respect in any intimate relationship

This could easily get into a discussion of sexual vs romantic vs familial love... is it just another factor on that scale?
-
Probably a big factor, yes.
