What do we think of 'emotional infidelity?' I am conflicted.
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?
-
I'm not saying you're wrong it's just not how I deal with things
-
Im just interested in opinions. Not my personal situation. My husband doesn't do much talking about feelings generally!

Some of my female friends have more experience in certain areas than my wife so they may be more capable of helping me find a solution
-
This is solutions orientated and quite different to feeling more able to express emotions to a woman who isnt your wife.
-
So it wasn't until I talked to an old classmate (that knew the ex too) til I was more able to talk.
-
See, that is fine. Theres a reason. Its not that you generally find someone other than your wife easier to share important feelings with
-
Well her and I aren't the best communicators to begin with.

I think this may be the disconnect because yes men can be emotional and need support emotionally
