Do not ignore signs: How emotional infidelity can ruin your relationship

Emotional infidelity can start with a simple hello or a nod. It begins in a meeting room or a chat.
One husband says: "What is the problem? We're just friends."

The other spouse can not believe the reassurances. So the jealousy builds and a wedge is driven between partners. Sometimes nothing really is happening, and sometimes a deal is in progress. It 's just a matter of time.

So how can you tell if your spouse is a potential cheater? How can you stop a relationship to become romantic out of your marriage? Here are five topics to think about before you determine if your marriage is in the danger zone.

1. Privacy: Do you feel as though your partner may tell you more about her new friend? Or hide the details of your platonic relationship from your spouse? If so, why? It 'best not to keep secrets from your partner, or even if you think she'll be hurt, angry or jealous. If you want a successful relationship, trust and honesty is the main factor for the wedding that should not be compromised.

2. Displaced Trust is information that should be shared between husband and wife shared outside the relationship? Topics such as sexual intimacy, irreconcilable differences, personal finances, and detailed accounts of your partner's weaknesses are best left to the constructs of marriage.

3. Comparison: Your spouse will liken it to a friend (s) of the opposite sex often? Or do you feel as if your spouse could improve in areas that excels your special friend? Comparison of once or twice can not be a problem, but the comparison is usually a warning sign.

4. Time Management: What time do you spend together as a married couple? E 'particular duty, such as paying bills or going to conferences for children? Or actually given - one-to-one, no, young family or friends around? If not, and you find yourself or your partner, working on such activities outside of your relationship, you stop it. Or invite your spouse or do not do it anymore. Coffee Talk can turn to pillow talk in the blink of an eye.

5. Attraction: Do you feel as if your spouse like the way his special friend is doing? If you are attracted to the way your friend looks or the way he / she does something? If so, address this issue with your partner and then try to refocus your attention on each other, rather than the party outside.

If three to five of these issues must be addressed in your marriage, do not wait until it's too late. I urge you to get professional help either from your religious leader or a professional adviser.
