[quote=Anonymous]Male perspective here.  I recently stumbled into something that had the potential to become an emotional affair out of the blue.  A childhood acquaintance connected with me through social media which lead to an email exchange which over the course of a couple of weeks became successively more personal and emotional.  I learned that she divorced many years ago.  If there’s such a thing as “chemistry” that can develop in email, it was there.  We have a lot in common and there was an obvious connection/attraction.  I was careful never to cross the line and complain about my marriage.  She finally put a stop to it by acknowledging things were becoming emotional for her and that it was not okay.  I agreed.  This whole thing sent me into soul-searching mode.  I recognized where I was not putting enough work into my 15+ year marriage.  I realized that the energy I put into connecting with this person should have been spent on my marriage, my wife, and my children.  I was lucky that she stopped it and that she lives thousands of miles away.  Going down this path particularly with someone you work with or encounter on a regular basis is fraught with peril.[/quote]
