any contact with another person that the spouce knows nothing about. is the best way to put it. holding hands talks on the phone sex and letters a lunch or dinner a kiss if you are married anything with any other person besides ur mate is an affair.

I know that what I would define as an affair is different from what my H would define as an affair. It is like the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", I guess the definition of an affair is in the mind of the betrayer. I know that makes no sense. I am just saying that to me ANYTHING that comes between a marriage falls within the realm of an affair. Emotional affairs are often more damaging than phyiscal affairs. I want to tell you that I have ask myself this question many times. Are you concerned about your spouse or yourself?

An affair is when you allow your ENs to be met by someone other than your spouse.

And by doing so, you exclude your spouse from meeting those ENs.
