Is an emotional affair on Facebook as bad as a physical one if both are married to someone else?
My friend’s wife is having an emotional affair on Facebook with the boy she dated in High School. Both are married but chat for hours, send messages and pictures of themselves in High School. Tell each other "I love you" & "I want you" and the such. Do you think this will hurt their "real" relationships with their spouses? What should the spouses do? I told him he should contact her husband and start asking questions. Or would that just be mean?
Thats what i would do if she could, contact her husband. And if not tell her to send this women a message and say " I have been curious about u since my husband says your an old friend of his so i have been reading your notes to each other for quite awhile now and u do seem to b close friends. Have your husband and u made plans to come out here yet to visit? We would like to meet him and u, u can stay for a weekend one time. Bob has so many friends and u would just b one more for us to b friendly with.
And see what happens. But she needs to talk with him and say to him to get off the computer because he gave her a good idea to look up some of her old friends too.
I’d stay out of it if I were you.

that sounds like more than an emotional affair. something will eventually happen. yes, it will hurt their marriages. if i were you, i wouldn’t get involved. this means telling your friend you don’t want to hear about it. talk about other things.

Whether its real, online, porn, etc. – all of it is cheating if you are doing things you should be doing with your spouse only. So yes, she is cheating on her husband and it would be easy to cross the line if they met in person.

that sounds like cheating to me already. tell the spouse about it, before it gets even worse or turn into physical affair. he has the right to know.
pls answer my question too if you have time

Simple rule
They are both cheating on their spouses and both spouses are entitled to know. It’s unfair for the innocent husband and the innocent wife to be in the dark as to their partner’s cheating. They both should know about it.

Yes, it will hurt their relationship because the honesty between them is gone. It’s like an emotional wall is built to hide the "affair" and this creates distance and mistrust. Even if he doesn’t know, his gut will tell him something is amiss.
I think the best thing is to stay out of it. Ever heard that old adage of "shooting the messenger"? It usually ends up that whoever breaks the news gets blamed in some way too.

It definitely sounds like the start of an affair weather it be physically or emotionally..In this case it sounds emotional..Because the real husband has the body of the wife …while she is giving her mind to the online guy…It does not sound mean to start some type of damage control before things get out of hand…Good Luck

I thin it is def cheating! My husband talks to some of his ex girlfriends from high school, and I hate it! I’m not a jealous person at all, until he changed his fb password, and when him and the ex see each other they act weird! I wish if someone knew what was going on, they would tell me! So I think u should tell ur friend that they need to stop, or just break it off with there partners before it gets ugly!

So tell me this, how and to what degree can you show emotion on Facebook? Does saying "I love you" actually reflect and emotion, or is it just a reaction? Does saying "I want you" actually convey the hardness of the typer, or is it just the flush it causes the reader?
Every friggin time you talk to another human being, person to person, you are revealing emotions. When you sit behind a desk, type on a keyboard, you are not. You go to McDonald’s, order a cheeseburger, you emotionally interact with the person behind the counter. Is that an emotional affair?
