Emotional Adultery

I read of a story written by a preacher named Bo about a married guy who asks him if it was okay to text a female friend who is single.The guy reasoned out that he's not texting "i love yous" or sweet things. He just tells her how beautiful she is.When Bo asks him how many times in a day that they exchange text messages.The guy mumbles 15 text messages.Bo's "hmmm" reaches a higher note nad then he asks him again if his wife knows that he's texting this female friend and the guy said no.Bo just said to him that since he's hiding it and he has a guilty pleasure in their exchange of text messages, then it is wrong and must be stopped. This is a form of emotional adultery. Is this a concern for all women who bothers that their husbands and boyfriends have more than their emotional affairs with other women? What do you think guys.My father is one of them but I for one was hoping that we tell each other without hiding secrects with our partners in life.

If we are hiding something from our partner, how could that be right?

It is relatively simple if the partner feels that it is unsafe or insecure to share it with his/her own partner then it is relatively wrong. Whatever reason or reasons for the other partner to feel angry or bad, it is definitely not a deed that is acceptable or without some sense of ulterior motive. Many a times, people are just playing with fire since one thing will lead to another and no matter how and what you might say that it is simply texting - we should know better since there is that inkling liking feeling of the other to motivate one to text endlessly without fail -- even if it is merely 15 messages a day only. Just do the maths for one year.

I think it is a little wrong to text that they are beautiful...sends mixed signals.

It is crazy and dangerous to keep things from your partner. Unless you want the relationship to end, that is what will happen.
