I'm hoping someone on gn,s can enlighten me on the meaning of "emotional affairs"!Surely an affair is just" an affair ".The reason for this question is this. My younger sisters husband( my brother in law) obviously,went to a school reunion recently.There he met an old girl girlfriend.Apparently they went out together for approximately a year. Anyway to get to the point they decided to stay in touch, by texting eachother occasionally.They do live about 50 miles apart. My sister is not comfortable with this at all.She has said as much to her H.However he maintains it is completely innocent and they are not doing anything wrong just keeping in touch with news of eachothers lives etc.The" old "girlfriend has a partner and grown up children.My sister is of the opinion that they are having an emotional affair as some of the messages are borderline intimate.For example,complimenting eachother on how good the other looked at the reunion. Also how well they had done in life! She is quite upset at these,also the messages are frequent( at least once a day)as far as she knows. Is this an emotional affair and do they ever become physical affairs? Any advice would be welcome. Thankyou!
