Ok I got this from another forum, LOL I do that sometimes. Will see where someone posted a question about something and then I'll bring it over here to L'shack to get opinons.
The question was, do people think that EA's can be one sided? I do, because most of the time when someone gets caught up in emotional affair, one party's marriage can be suffering for various reasons while the other party may feel they have a good strong marriage. The persons marriage that is lacking something, will more likely be the one to develop the emotional atttachment because the other person is providing for them what their spouse or s/o is not. If the other persons marraige is the one that is strong then chances are they will be the ones that DO NOT develop those feelings.
What I mean by the stronger partys feelings is yes they may have some form of feelings, but not in the sense enough to confess, show signs of loving the other person on an EA level. Sometimes I think the person thats providing something for the other, may not even realize they are. Unless the other one says something. I often wonder if people that were caught up in a one sided EA if they felt even more hurt because the other party did not feel the same way? I would think that even though it may hurt, its probably a good thing because then there would be less chance of anything really developing further. So do any others believe EA's can be one sided? Has anyone ever been in a one sided EA? If so, how did you know the other person did not feel the way you did? Or maybe its possible the other person did feel a certain way,but perhaps was strong enough to never let the other person know?
