Friendships are a normal and healthy part of life. We all need people outside of our romantic relationships who support us, make us laugh, and share our interests. But sometimes, a close friendship can slowly turn into something more—even without us realizing it.

Emotional affairs don't happen overnight. They start off innocent—just good conversations, just inside jokes, just feeling understood. But over time, the emotional connection deepens, secrets start forming, and the lines get blurry.

The trcky part? Emotional affairs don't always involve physical intimacy, making them harder to recognize—and even harder to admit. You might tell yourself it's nothing, even as you hide texts, crave their attention, or feel guilty about how much you think about them.

So, how do you know if your friendship is just a friendship or if it's damaging your relationship? The key is spotting the differences between the two.
