Emotional Infidelity: A Threat To Marriages by ayandee: 5:35pm On Jan 19, 2015 |
There is a dangerous virus quietly eating up marriages today. It is called emotional infidelity. It is worse than sexual infidelity because a straying spouse may be having an affair without even knowing it. The ubiquitous nature of online social networking via bbm, watsapp, instagram, facebook, provides a safe meeting point and helps nurture such affairs. A woman narrated her experience sometime ago. Her husband of seven years had become so aloof that he was no longer interested in sex. At first, she thought it was the pressure of work but later discovered that he had been involved in excessive chatting and texting with a particular female colleague. She was heartbroken even though there was nothing to show that they had been sexually involved. The straying spouse lives in denial and under the misconception that infidelity only occurs where there is a sexual relationship. Most emotional affairs occur at work places especially where the work environment is less than perfect. It is soothing to have a work friend with whom one discusses the day to day frustrations. However, it is potentially dangerous if you find yourself discussing your marital problems with an attractive work friend of the opposite sex. If you find yourself spending more time texting and chatting with this work friend even after office hours or you find yourself dressing up for him or her, looking forward to seeing him each day, you may be having an emotional affair. Emotional infidelity drains you of the energy, time and resources that you should have channelled into your marriage to make it great. Here are a few tips for preventing an emotional affair. It is best to nip it in the bud before it rears its head. 1.Be open about your marital status. Don't hesitate to drop hints whenever necessary in conversations simply to pass the message that you are "unavailable". You could have a small photograph of your spouse or kids on your desk if your office policy permits. You may also display family pictures on your social media pages. 2.Avoid discussing your marital problems with an attractive work friend of the opposite sex. 3.Shun all online social media activities once you are home. Spend quality time with your spouse. Be home both physically and emotionally. For more interesting articles, stories and reviews visit www.bookconvo.com 1 Like 1 Share |
