When you start going to that person to fulfill needs that your spouse should be fulfilling. I understand that there are certain things that your friends are better suited to talk about with than your husband or wife but you will be able to feel when a line is being crossed. In my opinion you should go to your spouse and talk to them about the friendship you have with this other person and see how they feel about it. If it doesn’t bother them and you are open and honest with each other then it should be ok

If you are thinking about the other person, becoming attached, and neglecting the relationship with your spouse it’s crossing the line.

Answer by Wiser1
It becomes an affair when you begin telling your ‘friend’ things you do not share with your spouse.

If you have fantasies about him/her it’s okay. It’s when you cross the line & make those fantasies reality that it becomes cheating. Don’t put yourself in a situation that will lead to it though. That’s just as bad. You have to ask yourself, do you love your spouse? Would you be upset if they cheated on you?

I am kind of dealing with something like that now…I am kind of in a emotional relationship with a friend of mine. We never did anything and never will but it is very much a problem. When you start to feel different towards your friend is when it is starting to change. You will feel it. It is really hard to be just friends with the opposite sex when you are married. I would say if something like this is happening to you and you love your spouse… end the relationship. If you are in this situation and need someone to talk to someone that is in this situation. Email me or IM me

I think its construed different for different people. I have a great friend at work, who is male and I am female. To me…we were just friends, we have lunch sometimes, we talk about our dreams and wishes and wants (nothing sexual or even in that area) just general life goals for ourselves, our children, etc. However after 3 years of this what I thought was friendship.. he has different feelings and thinks I do too. Bad situation for the both of us. One ,I had no clue and second , we are both married and third, frankly I am not interested even if I was not married. I was clueless as to his feelings until recently. So to answer your question, to be just friends and sharing as I kind of explained above would not be an affair in my eyes. But as you can see.. in others eyes it can be thought of as more.
