Warning signs include withdrawing emotionally from your spouse and spending less time with spouse. Thinking more about your "friend" and less about spouse. Telling others "We're just friends".

Feeling guilty could be one sign that things are wrong, but the main warning sign is when you aren't able to be honest, open and attentive with your partner.

If you think that you are, then you are. When something upsetting happen, who do you want to turn to (and who do you actually turn to)? Do you crave talking to your mate, or would you rather have a long conversation with another? Are you bored when talking to your mate, do you actively participate in conversations?

Pretty much an emotional affair consists of all the feelings of a new love interest, minus the actual physical intimacy typically involved. Constant thoughts of the person, they can do nothing wrong, all the infatuation business. You seem to already know you are though....

What your thoughts are can determine this. Sometimes, evil can make you think of something and then you either think about the evil or you command it to go away.

The signs of an emotional affair show up in your marriage. If it becomes cooler and more distant, if you turn first to someone else, it's an emotional affair.

Emotional affairs are characterised by the disclosure of trusted information or secrets to someone else. These are things you would never tell a casual acquaintance.

I think the biggest sign is that you are making decision using your emotions instead of thinking out the reality of why you are feeling the way you are.

The warning signs of an emotional affair would be that one tries to remain in solitude, passes much of the time before the dressing table, loves music, and has sleeplessness.
