I see it on here all the time, but was unsure of the true meaning?

It's a having a member of the opposite sex that you "vent" with that's not known by your spouse. For example, you meet a man, become friends, and tell him about problems with your husband behind your husband's back.

 

The problem is that in a healthy relationship, your spouse should be your "emotional release." In an unhealthy relationship, an EA may be your emotional release. Many would feel betrayed if you share information with someone outside of the marriage that you wouldn't share with them.

 

Also, EAs frequently lead to PAs.
