[quote=Anonymous]Female here.  I believe that a physical affair would be worse, as I have experienced my DH in an emotional affair a few years back.  I have no doubt that if it hadn't stopped, it would have progressed to a physical affair.  That, along with all the personal things that were shared, would have just torn me apart since I considered her a friend.

The emotional affair I only found out about after my husband started acting off around me for months.  Constantly texting on his phone while trying to relax together, writing poetry that he didn't show to me (which he used to do for me when we first started dating years ago).  Eventually I looked at his email and saw that he was sending it all to her, poems about lost love and what-ifs.  Texts about missing each other and wanted to get together for lunch alone; tons of flirting, etc.  We all hung out a lot because his best friend was trying to get in a relationship with her.

This led to me checking his phone and finding him sharing things about our marriage, and things he never told me before.  The way they were talking was just a huge flashback to when he and I had just started dating and were getting to know everything about each other.

Once I found out and confronted him, he immediately realized he was getting in too deep with her and backed away.  If it had gotten to be physical...I don't think I would have stayed because it would have just broken every bond of trust we had.[/quote]
