An extramarital affair causes anxiety in some people, while in others it's like a spice that brings an added zing into their life. People in every society go through extra marital affair, and its existence is as old as history. It can happen to anyone at any stage of the marital life. There are certain signs that you can look for telling you that you may be more involved with a person than you think.

The first tell-tale sign is when you share too many family-related problems with someone other than your spouse. When you discuss your personal life your friendship becomes stronger and soon you may be having an 'emotional' affair. What initially was pure friendship might soon be a raging extra martial affair.

But how do you decide whether you have crossed the line? One way to check is to see if you share frustrations regarding your marriage or relationship with a particular person. Another way to find out is to check if you are always eagerly waiting or responding to texts or phone calls from a special person.

Another sign of an emotional affair is when you are trying to create an intimacy with a person while your spouse is at home. Also, if you are assessing how far a sexual banter will go with this special friend, you may already be emotionally involved.
