Wow..this is exactly what is going on in my life right now..but mine is worse cause this 'other' guy and myself have just gotten soo deep into each other(we haven't had sex anyway but we've had nights when we made out).Am in a different state from my boyfriend,we talk once a day and twice maybe when he is in a good mood.we used to be very strong love birds then all of a sudden everything changed and our communication went low even while we were in the same state..I relocated cause of school and the emotional distance started. At this point I am in such a fix cause I don't know what to do..am falling out of love with my boyfriend and gradually falling for my friend. My friend totally loves me and has been there for me even when my boyfriend showed little or no concern..I just don't want to hurt anyone but I've got limited time to decide..cause to an extent I can't just imagine hurting this friend/ lover of mine same with my guy..its really crazy..someone please help me out!..N/B:I haven't had sex with my bf either and its been almost 3 years..he doesn't disturb me either but is quite secretive.

poiZon: to me its not cheating.
:how will u call this cheating when it's a relationship that definitely will lead to no way?
if the girl is under courtship or is bethroted to the guy then i will say she is cheating but under this boyfriend- girlfriend status, she is just just fine. and also what if the new GUY IS THE MAIN MAN DESIGN TO BE HER MR RIGHT IN FUTURE?
Say person feeds u, pay ur school fees, dey give u all what not no mean say na him go marry u, maybe GOD send him ur way to be a primary hlper till the SECONDARY GET package. /gUYS TAKE note!


This is really poison...primary keeper kwo, tetiary package ni....may God make u a primary bed-warmer too till d secondary wive shows up...mtschewww

you are on point with the CUT IT OFF line.

for me, I don't attach much emotions into BF & GF thing. any one can take decisions that suits them. Until you are legally joined to the other person in MARRIAGE no one should subject the other in any form of bondage.

A guy almost lost a job because his GF suspected that the lady who wanted to help him was about snatching him from her.

Funny enough after the whole drama, The lady married just 2 months later to her long time friend. she told me. she just felt like helping the guy as he had the opportunity and he already told the manager that the guy was a very close relative.

Personally, I liked a girl I was about going to talk to her when I realised she was with a guy. I intentions was genuine and sincere but the guy had already caged her. she just couldn't break away because of sentiments like what we are reading here. The guy later told the girl that he doesn't like her that he was just managing to put up with her all along.

before the break up her photographs were on this guys wall in his house.

A beg. anyone who has not paid the bride price should NOT subject you to any bondage in the name of love.

Toks2008:

More often the guy may not really digg her. As he chats with you he does samewith other ladies.

Honestly some ladies are fools and i mean a big time DUMB ASS.

Please tell me,what siught of a man will continue to show interest in a lady who is engaged or married but a wayward bastard from the pitts of hell who has no regard for the santity of marriage andofcourse such a man will never value his own marriage.

I have a principle that makes me diatant myself from any lady who tells me she is married,engaged or in a comitted relationship. I dstance myself from you no matter how i feel towards you and i have met ladies who have been seperated from their hubby yet i still believe seperation to me is not divorce.

So honestly most ladies are so dumb and clueless that they will be in a committed relationship and just mess it up because they are infatuated to one low life who is probably just interested in screwn them and dumping them to move on to the next looosed dumb ass.

Some ladies amaze me @ how shallow they reason...which guy will ever take ou serious when you leave a relationship for him?...initially its celebrated as mad crazyy love but underneath it lies a fertile seed of insecurity,trust issues and d perfect foundation for his paranoial any time u get a neutral male friend....eventually, its coming down...like a park or cards....do they need o each them this as a course?...quite a no are a a foolish bunch

My friend's point exactly!! she knows she inlove with her boyfriend but she is the type who does not believe in cutting off good friendship just because he's of the opposite sex and would still hv this connection if he were a lady ...she just is the type who does not do shallow friendship, and she admits she loves the guy but like how she loves her brothers and could never date him evn if she wad paid to

thats y im confused if she is justified to have a guy frnd like that or its only her boyfriend she can have a connection with??
she has d right to confide in someone other dan her bf......as far there is no strings attached...and she said.....i am not sexually attracted to himmmm.....simpleeeeeee......

Who says the present guy is the right person for her.

The mindset of exclusiveness outside marriage is primitive delusions. People have very good friendships outside the BF/GF thing. The ingredients of good friendship is same for every honest relationship irrespective of how you defined it.

Exclusiveness only comes after the marriage contract have been agreed and signed.

Anyone has the right to opt out of any relationship at any time even at the wedding alter unless subject to any agreed and acceptable contract.

note this again, The ingredients of good friendship is same for every honest relationship irrespective of how you defined it.


now. answer this; how long can you stay in an exclusive relationship without any binding contract like say marriage contract?

The male friend too is at fault.. There's no reason why a guy should be overly close to a girl that has a boyfriend.
Unless there is an ulterior motive on the part of the guy, of which most definitely, there is one.

i think its much more than physical cheating. sex may not mean anything but when u r sharing your soul with smbd thats the worst
humn...am in a big shit...if this true... Many of my friends if not all share their secrets with me and come for advise rather than go to thier boy friends... I dont even crush on most of them but some of them i do crush. However, i know i cannever get down with any of my female friend...

U don't understannd women then....if the relationship is really cool, up and tyt in every aspect, she won't have the time, will, interest or vacumn to noture another emotional engagement as such...there is a crack and d new dude is easily flowing through.

Arcasie: A friend told me about a situation she is going through and that got me thinking about this emotional cheating thing.

she has a boyfriend but shares a deep connection with another guy. their relationship is not sexual or anything but she just enjoys how interesting, witty, and understanding the guy is when they talk or chat and she tells him everything that she is going through. Its gotten so bad he's the 1st person she thinks of calling when she wakes up and her boyfriend doesn't even know about him. I tell her to keep her distance from the guy cuz she may get involved and she says its just a really great friendship and nothing more because she is not attracted sexually.

is she still cheating if she is not sleeping with the guy?

She is in a relationship but still searching, Its not cheating, emo or not. Her mind yearns for something her boyfriend lacks. She has feelings for her boyfriend but not love. definately not love. You are funny though, why did you tell her to keep her distance? the questions you should ave asked her is has she ever felt like dis with her boyfriend? if yes, what changed?

I know some hypocrite people will condemn her when they actually want the kain connection she has with the guy but me aint biased. grin grin

Watch the movie Why Did I Get Married? There's the subtle theme of emotional affair treated in it.
Re: Do You Believe In The Concept Of Emotional Cheating? by AdeniyiA(m): 6:20pm On Sep 13, 2014
she called him her boyfriend nd not fiance, so what's the assurance that she'd get married to him. i can only term it an emotional cheating only if there's an existing commitment between her and the first BF. without which she's free to relate nd socialise with whomever she likes.
Singles are always advised to marry their friend, it's obvious that she feels free nd enjoy being with the second guy, So why not ?

Re: Do You Believe In The Concept Of Emotional Cheating? by osemeka: 10:01pm On Sep 13, 2014
Yes. sounds like emotional cheating. I'm more worried about this other guy she shares this "deep connection" with. the babe can break up with her bf anyday and get another and still have him by the side to be telling all her problems. and he'd only be sticking around to hear these stories cos he cares. if he didn't care he'll find his way out of her friendzone. oh well.

it is not cos i want them to tell me, however it is cos of my position & office. Many people both boys & girls consider me as their life coach. I dont even have a girlfriend, not even looking for one. I am dutyfully & happily married & it is my duty to create a condusive environment whereby my wife will see me as her comfort & everything. If she sees another man that way then it is my failure.

i agree, that if u cheat or go outside relationship its only my fault, same as if i cheat on my husband- he doesn't satisfy me in somewhere. unless partner is pathological cheater
Re: Do You Believe In The Concept Of Emotional Cheating? by sunnyt1(m): 1:11pm On Sep 14, 2014
This is something i have struggled to cope wit in many of my relationships. It beats me why a guy/gal wud seek emotional attachment with someone else when he/she has a relationship. Its nt something to be taken lightly, its a trait of promiscuity. Dont trust such people.

The problem is most people overlook this cancer while dating bt complain when the person in question starts full flegde cheating later on.

I specifically look out for this in relationship and when i see it, i am off. How do i cope with a gal who is sharing her time and attention btw me and some other guy. If she thinks im nt what she wants, no problem, she can move to the next guy. Only people with cheating tendencies wud eva have the nerve to cope with this or see nothing wrong in it.

I dnt joke with unfaithfullness, im sincere and i expect same from whosoever im dealing.

This emotional cheating is the reason why people misbehave big time in relationships. The reason why that ur guy/gal ignores or do not respond to ur calls and sms, dosnt talk to u dat much, is not loyal or commited enough, can spend a whole day without hearing ur voice, can spend a whole week or month without seeing u and dont really bother etc, is bcs he/she is getting emotional attachment from somewhere else, it might not be direct cheating by definition but he/she is attached to someone else

u r right. There are people who cheat cos they v been cursed and there are others that cheat cos they lack self control. Then those that cheated cus they were careless with their emotion. I dont blame either of then though. I just pray that i remain faithful till death.
