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

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.

This is a very complex issue that calls out for pragmatism because it involves deep-seated (i.e. difficult to shift) emotions.

But withdrawing from potential & esp prior friendships to accommodate a new partner is destructive and also a breach, hence the complexity.
