  • Do you know the difference between a physical affair and an emotional affair?
    Typically people refer to an emotional affair with no physical interaction between the two people, or if some physical interaction; it's not regular sex.
    In this episode, Dr. Joe Beam explains the differences between physical affairs, emotional affairs, and limerence. You'll learn what to do if you or your spouse have had an affair and what you can do to start repairing your marriage.
    This is a three-part series so make sure you tune in next week as Dr. Joe talks about the stages of emotional affairs.

    I've had men throughout my life tell me that cheating men don't stop. They might feel guilty for a while but once the guilt wears off they do it again. That is why cheating is a deal breaker for me. But I have been blessed with a very good husband!

    I work in mental health. A relationship is already in trouble before this begins. Get into counseling. Tracking phones, texts is juvenile.

      Why not letting him go? You will only delay the end of the marriage. You will feel resentful, the hurt will always be there.

      What if there is someone better for you out there? Perhaps you should give yourself the chance instead of 'saving' the marriage. All the best in what you decide. Big hugs.

      Yeah what is up with that? Out of the blue while my ex and I were walking through home depot, he says to me "I love you but I am not IN love with you" . He also said in the car one day when I went to stop by and say hi at his work (after a long break) He said "I told my friend (about our relationship) I that I could do a LOT better but I could do a LOT worse too. Then when I left him after an emotional affair, well a compilation of a lot of things that broke me, not just the emotional affair... he wrote many emails saying how much he loved me, Im the most amazing person he knows etc... what was up with the mixed messages? My head was spinning.

    What is the difference in recovering from or getting over an emotional vs physical affair? Does it take longer to get through limerence in an emotional affair? Or is it very similar in the majority of affairs whether they are “just” emotional or have gotten sexual too? Also, what about phone sex? Does that change the seriousness of the connection or the timeline?

  • @t.english8056

    I actually feel more concerned about an emotional affair possibility over the physical affairs. Especially since I know our physical relationship was very good. And tbh He is so emotionally closed off to everyone stating he will never get married or be in a relationship again…while admitting he is having physical relationships. This shows me his deep hurt (from way back and before me and yes some criticism and lack of appreciation from me over the last few years before he left 20months ago) is keeping him closed off to even an emotionally deep relationship. So I have confessed my part in our marital problems and have asked forgiveness multiple times. I have been working on myself and God has been healing me and directing me to be kind, unconditionally loving and forgiving, seeing him as God sees him.

      Why more about the emotional than the physical tho? Just asking to guard myself more. I always hear that. Isn't the physical more concerning when the emotional becomes real and manifested?

      Making a difficult decision is painful enough without you tearing yourself up reading texts. Decide if you want to be with her and if she wants to be with you. If yes, then work on your relationship. If not, then you need to know what you're going to do next.

      Ask her to tell you the truth. If she is having an affair she is no longer happy. You might save the relationship… but only for a while.
