[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a woman and I see nothing wrong with a so called emotional plantonic deep friendship

Why does a partner have to be the only one providing emotional support?[/quote]

As long as spouse knows, its not crossing any boundaries or into anything physical, I don't see a problem OP.[/quote]

DP. All of you here equating emotional affairs with deep friendships have never experienced an EA or witnessed one in action. If you had, you'd understand and wouldn't assume that EAs are merely hyperbolic terms for wonderful friendships. An emotional affair means the people involved, both of them, are more emotionally intimate and involved with each other than with their significant others/spouses. It means the two participants crave each others' presence, advice, support in ways that spouses should. It is romantic--and I doubt any of you insisting "this is just emotional deep platonic friendship" would also agree that romantic feelings fit that category, would you? It is romantic without sex taking place, but that does not mean the two people are simply superclosefriends. And as for "not crossing any boundaries," it's crossing a boundary to be involved with someone as intimately as a spouse, in every way except sex. But you've never seen this so you can't ever get it. Those on here who DO understand what an EA is know better than to classify it simply as "deep friendship," or to claim that the betrayed spouse is merely trying to control a friendship. [/quote]
