Simple Question.....
What does Emotionally Divorced mean?
She is reading Love Busters so I haven't had a chance to read up on it yet. Can't find an explaination on the site.

It means this is my excuse for cheating. OUCH! Honestly, that part has already occured. Now she's reading up and trying to salvage things between us.

What did you think it meant?
If you mean this is what she says since the end of an affair, either it isn't over - emotionally and/or physically - and/or she's referring to the marriage disease that existed pre-affair and is what she used to justify the affair.

"and/or she's referring to the marriage disease that existed pre-affair and is what she used to justify the affair."
Like I said, I haven't read the book but from what I'm hearing this seems to be the rational for justifying things in the past.
"What did you think it meant?"
I'm not sure. I'm curious as to Harley's definition in Love Busters. That's when the phrase came up.

I feel emotionally divorced from my wife and I'm not having an affair.
But I do feel contempt for her.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
