Protecting Your Relationship from an Emotional Affair
Thursday, 16 October, 2025
Most people assume infidelity only matters when it becomes physical, but emotional infidelity can cut just as deep—and often deeper. When your partner gives emotional intimacy, attention, and affection to someone else, it leaves you questioning your place in the relationship and doubting your own instincts. In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why emotional infidelity is so damaging, why it’s often minimized, and what couples can do to protect their relationship from these subtle breaches of trust. They explore: Why betrayed partners often feel confused or pressured to minimize emotional cheating How “we’re just friends” becomes one of the most common forms of denial The danger of familiarity and unchecked closeness with someone outside the marriage Why protecting exclusivity in emotional connection matters as much as sexual fidelity How couples can set healthy boundaries that protect their emotional bond You’ll also hear Geoff and Jody share personal stories from their own marriage, illustrating how even innocent moments—like sharing music or interests too intimately with someone else—can cross emotional boundaries. This episode reframes emotional infidelity as a legitimate breach of trust that requires care, repair, and clarity. You’ll learn how to recognize red flags, have honest conversations about boundaries, and protect what’s sacred between you and your partner. ______________________________ Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal When betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.
