Emotional affair

An emotional affair is when somebody has strong feelings for someone they are not married to. It is like a romantic relationship, but without any physical contact. It can involve spending a lot of time with that person, sharing your feelings and thoughts, dreaming together about the future, or having secret conversations. It can also involve exchanging gifts or spending time together in romantic or intimate places. People in emotional affairs often start to feel like their relationship with the other person is more important than their relationship with their partner.
