After the Affair

113. Emotional Affairs: The Betrayal You Can’t See


Listen Later

Emotional affairs might not leave physical evidence, but their impact can be just as devastating as physical infidelity. In this episode of After the Affair, we dive deep into the hidden world of emotional affairs, the betrayals that happen through private messages, late-night conversations, and intimate connections that cross the boundaries of committed relationships.

We’ll explore:

  • What exactly defines an emotional affair?
  • Why emotional betrayal hurts as much as, or even more than, physical cheating.
  • The unique challenges of rebuilding trust when the affair was "only emotional."
  • Insights for both betrayed and unfaithful partners navigating the aftermath of an emotional affair.
  • Whether you’ve experienced emotional infidelity, are trying to understand its complexities, or want to rebuild a relationship affected by it, this episode offers guidance, validation, and actionable insights.

    Join host Luke Shillings as he unpacks the betrayal you can’t see—and how to move forward.
