There is a category of people who can be called married singles. These are the people who once upon a time where happy with each other, got married, but did not live happily ever after. Instead the demands of daily life, building careers, raising children became so consuming and stressful that they neglected to make meaningful time for each other. The married couple continued to handle their daily living demands however the emotional connection between them suffered. Gradually they grew further and further apart, each feeling very alone. The married singles lifestyle had crept softly into their life and they accepted it as that is the way it is.

The majority of extramarital affairs begin as “just friends.” While it is certainly true that there are affairs that begin with impulsive one-night stands with a stranger, the most common ones that I see begin as “just friends.” In fact, if you find yourself thinking or saying “but we are just friends” you are probably already in trouble.

Gary Rosberg of America’s Family Coaches states that there are at least 19 stages a person will pass through on the way to physically consummating an extramarital affair. There are at least two important notions that we can lift from Rosberg’s statement:

1) At each and every one of the 19 steps, you have a clear choice between going further down or stopping the process. In other words, these things don’t “just happen.”

2) An affair – by the way, I hate that term!

It makes it sound like it is this wonderful experience with no consequences … as in “It was a grand affair.” In my marital counseling and relationship coaching experience, adultery breaks up marriages, wrecks families and crushes kids.

Anyway, now that my rant is over, an affair becomes adultery long before the physical act. In fact, emotional affairs can be stronger and more difficult to get out of than physical affairs.

For Harry it happened when his job started to involve travel. He had been unhappy for a while but had not shared with his wife how he was feeling. While having a drink at his hotel a woman started a conversation with him. It felt wonderful to be talking and have someone listening to him. In another marriage it was Mary who got into an affair. Mary had a co-worker with whom she enjoyed talking and they became good friends. The emotional connection is what she loved. After a while the attraction to each other grew and they became involved. Gwen found her emotional connection in chat rooms.

I need to keep my spouse faithful

Your job will be to start focusing on yourself and making sure that you are taking good care of yourself. Finding out about an affair is a jolt to ones emotional well being. Put your energy into taking care of yourself and not on keeping tabs on your spouse. Your spouse needs to find a way to end the affair if he/she truly wants the marriage to work. If you also want the marriage to work put your energy into being the kind of marriage partner you want to be.

Everything is fine because I have ended the affair.

Unfortunately it is not so simple. For most couples it takes some real work to learn to re-connect with each other in a caring and loving way. Frequently marriage counseling may be necessary in order to learn new communication skills and ways to emotionally connect with each other.

Couples who desire to stay together can get through an affair if they genuinely want to re-connect with each other. It will take time and a willingness to put effort into rekindling their love

Affairs, including emotional affairs, are typicall unplanned events. Even when we are on that slippery slope, we convince ourselves everything in OK.

“But we’re just friends” are four of the most dangerous words for your relationship and marriage.

But over and over in my office and on the phone I hear it: “We are just friends, there is nothing going on.”

You need to trust me

There is no way that you can blindly trust. Trust gets rebuilt over time. It is based on being true to ones word, having actions match words, not having secretive phone messages or absences. Your task is to trust what you observe and comment behaviorally on that while staying away from interpretations and accusations.

The late Shirly Glass was a pioneer in the area of emotional affairs. In her 2003 book “NOT Just Friends: Protect your relationship from infidelity and heal the trauma of betrayal,” Glass identifies three red flags that indicate that you have progressed from a safe friendship to a romantic emotional affair.

1) You feel closer to your friend than you do your spouse.

You find yourself thinking of this person more and more often and looking forward to the next time you are together. When something happens during the day, the first person you think of telling is this friend, not your spouse.

2) Keeping secrets.

You no longer feel comfortable telling your spouse about this person. You begin to cover up so as not to be found out.

3) An increasing sexual tension.

Affairs are a jolt to a marriage. There generally have been cover-ups, deceitfulness, and lies before the couple starts dealing with the trauma of the affair. The task ahead for these married singles is to decide what they want to do about their marriage.

Everything is fine because I have ended the affair.

Unfortunately it is not so simple. For most couples it takes some real work to learn to re-connect with each other in a caring and loving way. Frequently marriage counseling may be necessary in order to learn new communication skills and ways to emotionally connect with each other.

While many extramarital affairs end up in court houses and eventually in divorce, there are couples who still prefer to work things out, together. Healing infidelity is hard; sometimes, it takes time and too much emotional stress to get back at least to an acceptable marital status. Surviving an affair may even end up as failure. But, those who survived the lengthy and painful process of surviving an affair provide good insights to those who are just beginning to heal the wounds.

1. Assure your partner that you will no longer have an affair. Yes, this is the most crucial part. Take note that your partner has a lot of doubts on you, so if you want begin the rebuilding process, everything must be stopped from meeting, sex, dinner, phone calls, emails, to texting. End all communication, period.

2. Be patient, healing takes time. There is no easy way to heal the pain and receive forgiveness right away. Your partner is still in great pain, expect that it will take time before he or she can forgive.

3. Take the blame. Blaming everything your partner will only make things much worse than it currnetly is. If your partner had an affair but you want to forget what happened, put an end to pointing fingers. If you are the guilty party, accept the responsibility and constantly reassure your partner that you will not have an affair again.

4. Answer his or her questions truthfully. The healing process is much easier when the adulterous spouse answers all the questions requested by his or her betrayed partner.

If you have been secretive all your life, now is the time to reveal your secrets. Your partner will better forgive you if you don’t hide anything to him or her anymore.

5. Give yourself completely to your partner. Whether you are the adulterous party, you have a better chance of healing your marriage when you submit yourself completely and ready to give your forgiveness. When rebuilding your relationship, give time to listen to your partner even if it takes a while.

6. Don’t offer your forgiveness too quickly. While forgiveness is the only way to save your marriage, it is still must be earned and not to be given right away. Take the necessary pain first, then begin repairing the damaged relationship. Offer forgiveness after you have overcome the pain.

7. Seek help. Seek help from your relatives and close friends to help you get through the process and make you feel less isolated.

8. Do something else other than talking about the affair. Spend moments with your friends and partner having fun on different activities.

9. Do not forget that it hurts.

Surviving an affair is not an easy process; it involves rage, pain and tears.Be prepared to face them all.

When you suspect that your spouse is cheating on you, you begin to look for some signs. When you begin to suspect that your partner is cheating on you, you are looking for some changes on his or her behavior. Signs of cheating, however are pretty much the same with the usual activities of your partner, making it more difficult to spot. To help solve this, here are some of the things that will indicate if he or she is cheating:

He or she starts to lose interest in everyday household routines. Your husband or wife easily gets irritated over simple things.

Your spouse’s friends or officemates treat you strangly.

Your partner’s cellphone behavior changes. He or she buys cellphone but doesn’t let you know.

Your partner deletes his or her incoming phone calls regularly when they used to accumulate. He or she surprisingly treats his or her cellphone, wallet or purse as personal properties that you should not touch. You begin to receive callers that don’t answer.

Your partner start picking fights in order to have the reason to stomp of the house. Overtime is becoming a daily thing.

He or she doesn’t go to work even if your spouse said he or she would. He or she goes to the grocery and comes back 5 hours later.

Your partner begins to take interest on the laundry. Your spouse begins to keep things from you. Your spouse stops talking to you. In other words, you live together but don’t interact.

Your spouse begins to buy new clothes. He or she wants the house or car clean all the time. Your partner removes any of your belongings from his or her car.

One or two signs of cheating are very inconclusive. Since your husband or wife changes over time, you need to find small, but numerous signs that, when put together, are consistent to cheating. But there is one thing that is certain, if your partner is cheating, he or is will be caught.

Women continuously ask the same question: why men cheat? This age-old question still has puzzled the female population, or at least those who had experienced it first-hand.

Here are the top reasons why men cheat:

They are is something missing
Just like women, men seek emotional attention, although they don’t look like that or do not tell you that.

Men want to be constantly reassured that they are appreciated and loved. Without reassurance, they start to feel unworthy and drift to emotional isolation.What happens is, they seek attention from someone who can give them what is lacking in their homes.

It’s in the blood

Watching animal Planet will give you a clear picture why men has the tendency to cheat. Male’s main task is to protect his territory and spread his seed in order to ensure the continuity of his bloodline. This means men has the tendency to knock on another hut just to continue his genes. However, this doesn’t mean that men cannot escape this fact; despite his nature, men need to fight it-especially after a pitcher or two.

To end the relationship
There are men who don’t have the guts to say “it is over” to their partner. Maybe because they are too proud to take the initiative or don’t want to be labelled as the “jerk who just said no to a wonderful future. Instead, they tip-toe around to get their woman leave him for good.

To spice up his life a bit
Once married a man (or a married woman) is expected not to flirt around other for the rest of his life, or at least until he is legally separated.However, it is in his nature to look for something different. Think of your relationship as a single loop of playlist where you have to listen to it over and over again; it is just a matter of time when you have to look for something new. Men have to constantly update thier playlist regularly, but if they can’t get it from their partner, they will look somewhere else.

To get noticed
Different to women’s notion, men do not cheat just because they need sex.

Sure, they have sex with other woman/women but that’s not the only reason why men cheat cheat. Men constantly need emotional attention, but if this could not be given by thier partner, they will look somewhere else. Seeing you naked will do the trick for a while, but it is important to understand that to make him feel worthy, you don’t just appreciate him when he is shovelling the snow off your driveway.
