What is emotional infidelity? A common definition says emotional infidelity occurs when an intense romantic bond occurs with a person other than the spouse. And how far can one go before their spouse is being cheated on?
What are the reasons you are keeping this information from your spouse? Is this the best course of action for both you and your partner?
