HeartShare: Emotional Infidelity: Is It Really Cheating?","description":"Being in a happy relationship doesn\u2019t mean you stop getting attracted to other people. Attraction is a natural process of life. So, when does the attraction turn into an emotional affair? Is it considered cheating if you have emotional attachments with someone - even without being physically or sexually intimate?   Today, I explore what emotional infidelity is and how it is different from sexual infidelity. I share my personal and professional stories of emotional infidelity and how to use them to have a deeper and more authentic relationship. I also share the signs of an emotional affair, the slippery slopes to understand and watch for in your relationship as well as the different ways to safeguard your relationship from them.    \u201cJust because you have an attraction towards somebody else is not a sign that you\u2019re in a wrong relationship. It\u2019s what you do with that attraction.\u201d - Pripo Teplitsky      This week on Relationships! Let\u2019s Talk About It:   How friendships or a simple attraction can sometimes turn into emotional infidelity. The starting point of an emotional affair.
