When Doug was going through his emotional affair, it was pretty safe to say that he wasn't thinking logically. LovingFeel.com review I often wonder how things may have been different if he had. I was thinking about this the other day and came up with some questions (I counted 32 of them) the cheating spouse may want to consider when involved in a marital affair. If you are the betrayed spouse, these questions may also be a good starting point for conversation concerning the affair.
Do you really know the person you
are involved with?
I'm sure that you feel you know
this person better than you know yourself, but you also need to consider that
you are only seeing this person in a limited environment. It is easy to base
your assumptions on this setting, however you also need to look at the bigger
picture. You need to look at the OP's relationships with the other people in
their life. Eharmony.com Listen to
what they say about these relationships.
Is their behavior with those people
consistent with the behavior you see from your affair partner?
If you are seeing a positive, easy
going person, are their relationships with their family and friends the same,
or are they more critical?
Is there conflict?
Begin to listen to what your affair
partner is telling you and try to base your perceptive not only on how they are
treating you Eurodate but how
they treat other people.
Does your affair partner bring out
the best in you?
Does having the affair partner in
your life make you a better person?
Are you being a person who stands
by their commitments to their family, work and life, or are you being selfish
and only thinking about your own needs?
Are you neglecting and removing
yourself from your obligations?
When you look in the mirror do you
like who you see?
Does you affair partner have your
best interests in mind?
A perfect example of this was
during my brother's marital affair. One of the most important things in my
brother's life is his children. His affair partner discouraged him to contact
them and even sabotaged his relationship with them by saying things that turned
my brother against them. If she really cared about him, rather than her own
insecurities, she would have encouraged him to be close to his children and
nurture his bond with them.
Do you trust your affair partner?
Has this a person been completely
honest with you?
Does this person have integrity and
believe in commitment?
Does this person respect the
boundaries of a relationship and is loyal to the people they are committed to?
Are you knowledgeable about the
difference between infatuation and mature love?
Have you read books, websites, and
other resources that discuss the chemical reactions that exemplifies what is
feels like to be infatuated compared to mature love?
Do you understand that infatuation
has a very short shelf life and is often called "blind love?"
Are you sure you are not in this
stage and are confused as to what it feels like to be in mature love?
Is your affair partner secure and
confident enough to handle all the baggage and history you bring with you from
your marriage?
Are they able to handle being a
part of a bigger family that includes your children, your ex-spouse, friends,
etc.?
You may leave your marriage, but
these people will always be part of your life.
