so u think she is cheating on her bF?? when I tell her to keep her distance she tells me that the fact that she started dating doesnt mean she stopped having close friendship with guys

Then tell her she is in for a catastrophe in her relationship, its just a matter of time. Suffice to say she is just keeping his bf 4 sexual gratifications

They are yet to marry, there is no cheating in this scenario, what the Lady ought to have done is let her boyfriend know about the guy with utmost sincerity & open mind

Yeah, we have freedom to select any guy we want....Do you know the plans her boyfriend have for her??...Dont you think he ll be disappointed if he finds out they are very close and share somethings together??....Will you be happy if someone you love is doing this to you??...
if u hold on to love too tightly u will lose it. I love her but I cant force her to be with me, im not that insecure, if she prefers someone else dats her decision to make. Relationship is not a do or die affair.

But if her bf finds out and decides to leave let no one cry.
sure he can leave if he cant stand it any longer, only he should state his grievances. Until you pay the bride price for a lady, she aint yours i tell ya. #truth.

MizMyColi:
You see, that's one mistake females are very prone to make.
Feeling and acting like they're married, when they're not.
We call it, "being faithful".

It becomes really irksome because, in most scenarios, these boyfriends are more like figure heads, they bring either little or nothing to the table.

Truth is, if as a single, I start developing extreme feelings of closeness to another, and in all honesty, it isn't sexual........
Then there most be something that guy is doing right, especially emotionally.


No, I'm not advocating that she dumps her man, uhn, uhn.......that'd be plain foolish, because for all we know, she just might be infatuated with this guy. Need I also point out that the male folk are better pretenders.

She needs to ask herself questions:
What is it about this guy that trips me so?
Is my boyfriend, despite his flaws, really all that I desire in a man?
Do I have needs that I haven't been as open in communicating, with my boyfriend?


That said, she has to take a break from the new guy already, yes she must take that break, to recollect herself emotionally (of course! It requires discipline).

I also know that when you commit to get married to an individual, more oft than not, someone else shows up, who makes your partner look like a big time learner......She just might be in that phase now. It's called Emotional Infidelity

I'll leave you with this quote I shared here just recently, hope it leaves you with some form of guidance smiley

"I'd rather be the prize you felt you deserved, than be the option you felt forced to settle for. If we BOTH don't feel blessed to have one another, then we shouldn't be together."

abeg all wetin u type na pure assumption. Nothing bad was said about the other guy apart from, so stop making wrong hypothesis already. The guy could be more loving than her bf.



Can you be intelligently objective for once? This right up as you rightly wrote is hypothetical so leave it that way. its not condemning or liberating anyone,just an hypothesis.

Toks2008: @OP,yes she is still cheating and that can lead to a break in her real affair.

My marriage got destroyed as a result of emotional cheating.

My ex got to know one guy who she said she was matchmaking wth her friend but gradually got carried away and the guy will chat wth her for long on other issues to the extent that he strted shown interest in her.

He would call her on phone for long period dat when i call her,the one wll be engaged.

I sat her down to dscuss it wth her statn emphatcally dat im not against her havn friends male or female but should maintain proper decorum and again i dont like the fact that this guy cals her by the maiden name but shld addrrss her as Mrs,afterall he knew her aftr she got marid. But just like every lady willsay "HE IS JUST A FRIEND" And guys should watch it whenever their ladies use these words.

To cut the long story short one day,i entered her shop after calin her for mnutes n her phone was engaged and wen she saw me enter,she terminated the call and that nyt for the frst time i decided to check her phone and i realised dat this guy have ben expressn desire for her but rather than put a stop she was enjoying the whole thing and even asked tbe guy to read about her zodiac while in actual sense she ought to tell the guy to read about her friend.

Why im wrting all these sermon is to pkint out the ease of gettn involved in an emotional affair expcially bythe ladies and bfore they say jack,they become attached.

I cald her to xplain the crazy chat and she jst waved it aside and i smashed the android phone and after rhat the marriage began crumbling until it finally broke up wen i dscovered even a worse one on a facebk chat of hers accidentally where a guy wrote that he called her to make him cum

This is a tragic case of emotional infidelity because all she always say is they are juat friends and i kept wondering why she always get herself nvolved with dirty minded irresponsible low lifea as friends.

If u are a lady in a commited affair please avoid getting close to any male other than ur man to avoid emotional infidelity cos that will destroy your affair big time and most times the guy u got so attached with may not be into you as you are made to believe.

Watch it

Uncle toks, I always feel for you each time you use your ex-wife's infidelity to educate us the younger folks on matters of the heart
I followed your painful separation and the eventual dimise of your then 11yrs marriage (op I got that right). One can only hope you've healed completely from such heart ache. If you haven't then you've got to try harder. You seem a decent guy enough so go out and meet people.
Lastly, quit giving her d satisfaction that you're still grieving for loosing her by using her as a case in point in your submissions here. She doesn't deserve such 'publicity', not after this whole time.
Move on bro, oluwa na your strenght

Re: Do You Believe In The Concept Of Emotional Cheating? by mcsnup: 7:42am On Sep 12, 2014
really don't see a thing wrong with her relationship with the guy, security in relationship is over-rated. How do you no you own something if you can't let it go and see if it would come back to you? What's love if it can't stand the test of time? Does having a girl/boyfriend restrict my association or relationship wit the opposite sex? She is not engaged yet, she is just in a relationship and yet she is in some form of bondage! If she con marry it probably would be unhealthy for her to leave the house, not to mention having d opp sex for friend. I beg nairalanders make una free d babe joor

Well on my own opinion, I would not say she's cheating on her boyfriend now but wen a guy calls u frequently more dan he calls his close pals or parents even den he's up to sumtin.

A guy can't just keep calling like dat all in d name of paltonic friendship well there is a possibility dat if caution. Not taking d girl will see every reason to live her boyfriend and accepts him if he asks her out

What you are suggesting is called ''open relationship''. Good! But do not cry foul if the guy dumps her first.

some women are unbeliveably hypocritical, or should I say delusional? Yes! Emotional cheating is cheating. It's even worse than physical cheating and for the umpteenth time, guys always want sex in the end. So keep deceiving yourself that you're not attracted to him sexually. Soon you'll be riding his dick and telling yourself you're only showing appreciation for giving you listening ears.

Moral of the story: Guys should smarten up before another man steals their woman's heart. It's not all about being rich. A little humour and wit doesn't hurt.

Trust me pal, it is very natural to always make it a pointer to educate people anytime situations or topics come up that relates to what went down.

It is not that i am grieving,not at all or i am still sulking just that i belong to a school of taught that believes in high morale standard and unfortunately this present world does not give a bleep about that.

As per moving on i have emotionally and that is what counts and getting another lady as sexual partner is easy but getting the lady to be with is not as easy as many people think considering the crops of ladies we have now that mostly have no morale standard as regards commitment and morality in sexuality.

So when i make reference, its nothing more than for educating people because when you write from experience, people value it more for instance the emotional infidelity part is one that is vital to share as regards this topis.

Nb:5yrs of marriage but 11yrs of relationship.

Judging by this comment,the girl sure doesn't love her so-called boyfriend.Or let me say: there's no love in the relationship.
And to think the first person she calls when she wakes up in the morning is another guy??

Toks2008: You can be together and grow old together if both of you are willing to work it out.

Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn’t hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn’t have to DO anything. That’s why it’s called “falling” in love.

People in love sometimes say, “I was swept of my feet.” Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there, doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It’s a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they call at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens) and your spouse’s idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, “Am I with the right person?” And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when relationships breakdown.

People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment just to start that same circle all again and later realize the former partner was way better than the present one and then some people opt out once more to start that same circle all over with another new person and at this point the world starts looking at you as a clueless no good person who can never be happy with anyone.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person, it’s learning to love the person you found.

Did you read that last paragraph?please get this once more;

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person, it’s learning to love the person you found.

Loving someone is not by accident,its not a feeling,its a conscious decision by the people involved to be together and weather the storms together and not looking for an easy way out. The storms of lack,incompatibility childlessness, family scuffle,infidelity,bitterness,and many more.

Until both of you are willing to make it work,only then will GOD come in to make it happen. Because two people can never work together except they agree.

You couldn't have said it any better. Hear people! Read and learn!

Arsenate: but of course the new guy will appear perfect at the beginning. they are obviously not living together with the lady so she is not aware of his flaws. trust me he is not as perfect as she thinks. most guys, anyway, don't marry the ladies (wives especially) they snatch from another man. guys aren't as dumb as ladies. he'll always have it at the back of his mind that he might the next victim. cos smart bros know hoes ain't loyal.

Thats all.
