I suppose it takes a crazy, slightly delusional sort of courage for a man to ask a married woman to go out for a drink. Or maybe it’s just ignorance? I can’t seem to recall a single event in my past where a man asked me out for a drink… but apparently, I finally had my lucky day. My husband had been helping me tweak Facebook Ads for my business over a coffee at our local Starbucks. He left around noon to go see his bodywork clients and shortly after the coffee shop got increasingly busy with lunchtime traffic. I was still sitting at the four-top table and noticed a…

Unlike physical affairs, it’s harder to pinpoint an emotional affair. And if you’re the suspicious partner, the last thing you want to do is accuse your spouse of something if it really is a “just friends” situation. How do you differentiate between a platonic, innocent-enough friendship or a more troubling emotional affair? Below, therapists from around the country share seven signs your partner may be on the verge of emotional infidelity ― and how to talk to him or her about it. Your S.O. may be having an emotional affair if… 1. There’s something off in their physical and online encounters with the other person. The clearest sign of emotional infidelity is having a sense…

Having an affair is not even on your radar. Never gonna happen. You love your spouse and you’d never be unfaithful to her or him. However, you may be unaware of other ways you are being unfaithful. If these actions continue, you may find yourself on the slippery slope that leads to that never-intended affair and a sorrow you never wanted in your life. Unfaithfulness usually creeps in through the back door, disguising itself as harmless fun or innocent behavior. If you want your marriage to endure and be filled with happiness you may need to check this list to see if you have fallen prey to any of these…

The INSIDER Summary: A company surveyed men and women to find out the differences in how and why they cheat. Men tend to cheat for physical reasons and women tend to cheat for more emotional ones, according to the survey. The same survey suggests women are more likely to emotionally cheat. Men surveyed are slightly more likely to engage in physical acts and not consider it cheating. Everyone has different reasons to cheat — maybe they were drunk and stupid, have been feeling unfulfilled in the relationship, or maybe they just couldn’t help hitting up that hot person on Instagram. But a new survey suggests the reasons behind why people…

By Stephanie Bucklin According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, national surveys have shown that 15 percent of women and 25 percent of men have had a full-blown affair outside of their long-term relationship — a number that jumps by 20 percent for each sex when expanded to include emotional affairs. When you think of a cheating partner, you may picture a bar or a nightclub. But that’s actually not one of the top places people meet their affair partners, Debra Macleod, a marriage expert and author of books including “Couples in Crisis: Overcoming Affairs & Opposite-Sex Friendships,” told Fox News. Macleod interviewed more than 300 couples…

Real love does exist, and this woman proved it. She received a private message from a guy she had some political banter on Facebook with, and it was clear what his intentions were. At first, she mentioned her husband and politely refused but the guy persisted so she went into full savage mode. The woman’s message achieved two things: it proved her love to a man who truly deserves it, and it also left a nasty burn on the homewrecker. She uploaded the exchange to Imgur, and the internet instantly fell in love with her: “Power moves only. Well played,” said one commenter. “Brutal. Love it,” said another. Scroll down to…

By Ashley Papa Trust is one of the main tenets of a strong partnership. When cheating happens, that value is shattered — and for many couples, saving a marriage can seem difficult, if not impossible. But according a March 2014 study published in the journal Couple and Family Psychology: Research and Practice, many married couples who face infidelity do bounce back and make the active choice to stay together.
