I was talking with one of my friends today and we got on the topic of emotional affairs. She said that an emotional affair was when you shared intimate stuff with a guy that you dont share with your husband or boyfriend. I have a few guys that I have worked with many years ago and we are still friends. One of them takes me out for dinner a few times a year and my boyfriend doesnt mind (this guy is 20 years older than me, almost like a dad) and there are other guys that I just enjoy talking to, getting their male point of view, etc.

So what constitutes an emotional affair and what is just being friends with a person of the opposite sex?
