Seen this on MSN today and found it interesting and thought that I would share it. I know how hard an EA is and my Xh still says that they were just friends, but he calls her wife now!!!

Anyways hope that someone gets some use from the info!!!

[color:"blue"] Not Just Sex

Sandra, 45, a teacher in New York, meets a "totally beguiling guy" in a similar field. He helps her with a project; they start e-mailing, then phoning, having long talks over drinks. Thing is, she has a boyfriend. He has a wife. They're not having sex. Are they having an affair?

Yes. It's an "emotional affair," or "accidental affair," says Peggy Vaughan of AskPeggy.com and author of The Monogamy Myth: A Personal Handbook for Dealing with Affairs (Newmarket, 2003). "Emotional affairs are most likely to affect the person who would never intend to cheat."

According to the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, 15 percent of wives and 25 percent of husbands have had extramarital sex. Add emotional affairs and other non-physical intimacy, and the numbers go up by 20 percent. [/color]

Good article and very true. As one who's WH has been having an EA with a co-worker which he adamently denied anything more than "just friends" but for some reason felt compeled to hide and lie about until I caught on, I have learned to listen to the experts and found that they "hit the nail on the head"

There is also a great book called "Not Just friends" by Shirley Glass. ISBN 0-7432-2550-3 which is a must read for those experiencing EA.
