Emotional Infidelity - Devastating Reasons Why Your Wife Had An Emotional Affair

You cannot stop worrying, in fact you are worried sick. You cannot eat. You are not even sleeping properly.......you cannot get the idea out of your head that your wife is having an emotional affair. You are worrying about how far it has gone, if you can get her back, and one of the questions you are asking is.......

Why?

Why do women have emotional affairs? Why is emotional infidelity so prevalent? First of all, one of the reasons is there is much more scope for having emotional affairs. Women go to work outside the home now more than ever. So they meet different people, different men, and have to spend lots of time with them. They may have to work together closely on projects. Many companies encourage their teams to socialize outside of work, and so they end up going for drinks together too.

But none of these mean for sure she is having an emotional affair or even thinking about it. Sometimes these affairs just start because she has someone, that is not you, that she can share problems with. The distance from a work problem to a home problem is just a short leap.

If your wife is spending twelve hours per day with someone else, and he is attentive, there for her when she wants to talk, sympathizes with her problems, then she is likely to form some sort of attachment to him.

Remember Don Juan? Casanova? These guys always work on listening to the women and bonding with them emotionally to get them ultimately into bed. They gave her all the attention she needed.

Go back in your mind to when you first started dating - when nothing was too much for you, when you talked endlessly. Communication was great, just hanging out with her and making her laugh was fantastic. You can get your relationship back to that stage, not matter what events have happened before. You just need a bit of help to do that.

So what can you do?

You could give her the attention, the time that she needs. Keep communicating with her. Make sure you listen to her problems and be sympathetic. You have to go to work - you can't spend all your time chasing her, just to make sure she is ok. But an occasional text, to see how she is doing, shows her you are thinking about her.

Things are tight financially so it might be hard to buy her gifts, but even just telling her that you appreciate what she does for the family will help her see that you care about her. It doesn't have to be poetic, simply "I appreciate that you work hard" is good to hear.
