[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH had an EA.  He has had many female friends, and an EA is NOT the same thing.at.all.

We both recognize the difference, although he spent many months saying "[b]just friends"[/b] while I wondered what was different about this friend.  It took a long time for him to see what I had seen all along:  that this one crossed a line, and that he was dating her, not meeting her for dinner or whatever.  He finally got it when I asked him why he knew so much about some other woman's hopes and dreams.  And I said, "What are my hopes and dreams?"  He realized then that he spent all his emotional energy on her - connecting with her.  Sharing with her.  Listening to her.  There was nothing left for me.

So all you people who claim EAs aren't real?  I can only hope that you never experience one.

Speaking of, I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Not Just Friends," by Dr. Glass yet. OP, this will help: http://www.shirleyglass.com/bookmain.htm[/quote]

Funny, I just found this yesterday when I did a google search.  Didn't realize there was so much literature on EA.

For you naysayers who say EA is a recent phenomenon, it's always been around but without a label on it.  20 years ago, the term "date rape" was a new term.  The act was not new, but they put a label on it.   It was an unusual "concept" because we associated rape with sexual assault by strangers in a dark alley.
