An affair of the heart can be every bit as painful -- and sometimes even more so -- than a physical one. Safeguard your relationship with these tips.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Relationship radar
Good communication
Avoidance of temptation

Step 1: Know the difference between a platonic friendship and an emotional affair: The line's been crossed if there's continual sexual tension, secrecy, or an emotional connection you don't share with your partner.

Step 2: Beware of the "office spouse." If you're the one with a sexually charged friendship at work, limit personal conversations and don't allow the bantering to spill into after-office hours. If your mate seems to be getting too close to a colleague, remind them -- without acting overtly insecure -- to keep the relationship professional.

Step 3: Be alert for signs that a partner has a special online relationship: spending an inordinate amount of time on their computer, or changing their screen when you enter the room. If this is the case, be blunt about your suspicions. That may be enough to nip it in the bud.

Tip: If you're the one getting frisky with an online friend, ask yourself if your partner would be upset to read your e-mail or instant messages. If the answer is "yes," you're already cheating.

Step 4: Keep tabs on emotional intimacy. If your partner is not confiding in you like they used to, it's possible they're talking over their problems with someone else. If you're the one revealing private thoughts elsewhere, try to reconnect on that level in your relationship.

Step 5: Know the reasons people cheat, even if it's just in their heart: loneliness, the need for attention, sexual frustration, and a desire for romance. Making an effort to keep things happy at home can reduce the chances that either partner will go outside the relationship.

Step 6: If you find yourself physically attracted to someone, whether it's a colleague, an old friend who's resurfaced, or an online buddy, don't pursue a deep friendship with them -- you'll be playing with fire. If it's your partner who's giddy around someone who's "just a friend," tell them to find friends they don't have a crush on.

No one likes to get cheated on..

If people don't want to be in a relationship with someone.. why not break up with them first.. instead of going behind their backs and cheating on them??

I was looking for a video for PTSD and somehow ended up here. This video is stupid. How to prevent a emotional infidelity: Don't be a dick. If you can't appreciate your partner, then leave and let them find someone who can. If your partner can not appreciate you, leave and find someone who will. If you really have to struggle you are not in the right place and DEFINITELY not loving yourself enough to love someone else.

I had all that happen to me. My bf had a major emotional affair, less than a month after we bought a house too. Everything is still all f*cked up now, I don't trust him and don't know if I'll ever fully have my trust back. If I could afford it I would get my own place cuz it feels like things will never be the same. I love him but i'm not in love with him which breaks my heart. We were supposed to get married this year before all that bullshit, and I am so mad at him for messing everything up.

people cheat cause their fucking weak

[bocachica27]

In the end you can only hope to be yourself and do what you would usually do in a relationship, if your boyfriend is going to cheat on you he's going to cheat and there is nothing you can do about it, not your fault but its not your decision its his

[shahed2oo6]

wow he is soooooooooo handsome O_O''''

i would kill for a guy like that...
