'I am having an emotional affair'

Dear Diana, I'm a single guy and having an affair with a married woman. Her hubby is working in an airline so is out of station often.

But it is not a physical relationship. We love to spend time together and talk for hours. Is this what is called an emotional affair? We don't even hold hands. We have been together for six months and I don't know where the future will take us. But she keeps telling me intimate and personal stuff.

Dear Champak,
Remember one thing leads to another in the heat of the moment. If she has been confiding in you about any of the troubles in her marriage, you should be on guard. First of all, she is having an extra-marital affair or heading towards it. You need to back away from this - you are playing with fire. Things will get so messy then, that your illicit clandestine meetings will scar you forever. And remember lovers can't be friends.u00a0

Diana will solve it!
