Marriage is not just a legal document. It is a promise of honesty, love, and safety. I mean both emotional and physical safety.

If a husband builds a relationship with another woman, it is not a friendship. It is beyond emotional cheating.

My creativity discussion

---

Instead of fighting, the woman in this story sat down closer to her husband and questioned, "Alli, why are you doing this to me?" with a lot of emotion and kindness.

"What? I can’t understand what you are saying." Alli said.

Nilushi, the wife: You're not speaking to me in this manner. I noticed the message you sent to another woman.

"Ah, you're talking about this message?" the husband asks and gives a surprise answer. "It's just friendship."

“How can it be a friendship? You are asking her to be yours, even when I am with you. Why are you sending hearts at midnight?” Nilushi said, almost in tears.

When Alli witnessed her tears, his heart melted, and he said, "Oh, don't take it all too seriously. I felt loneliness. You are always busy; that is why I tried to chat with her."

"You know that communication is the best way to find an answer to any questions. Instead of letting other women into your heart, you might have told me. Most husbands are very selfish; they think only of their happiness and their comfort. Why can't you see from our side? If I were busy, you could have supported me to make my work easier."

Alli felt ashamed. "No, I didn't want to hurt you. But I wanted to lose my loneliness."

Nilushi smiles sarcastically and says, marriage is not living in the same house in the same bed. We need to share our thoughts and emotions and respect each other. You are going to break my trust. First, make your house, and then you will get answers to all your questions. Love your wife, support her, respect her, trust her, and communicate with her. Then married life will be easy.

Answers to questions.

Who showed greater emotional maturity?

According to my story, Nilushi showed a greater emotional maturity. Instead of shouting and arguing, she calmly explained the needed point to her husband. This incident pained her heart deeply, but she controlled her feelings and talked wisely. That shows her emotional strength, self-control, and truth.

Is emotional cheating more harmful than physical?

Indeed, emotional cheating is more harmful than physical cheating. Physical hurt can be forgotten within one or two days, but emotional cheating is not easy to forget. Especially when someone starts caring more about another partner, the cheating has already started. It needs more effort to rebuild the emotional trust.

What are signs of emotional distance? Can they be spotted early?

Yes, it is easy to recognize signs of emotional distance. The following are the signs, in my opinion, identifying emotional distance.

A reduction in communication and sharing is the first indication of emotional distance. Trying to keep his phone hidden or act secretly. Another thing is hanging over the telephone more than other work. Hugging, kissing, showing attention, wishing, or lovely talking all stop automatically.

Can love survive deep betrayal? What is needed to rebuild trust?

Oh! It may be very difficult. It's said that broken glass can be repaired, but the cracks will always remain. Like that, when the trust is broken, it is very difficult to build again. But if they both are truly sorry for that and ready to forgive, trust can be built to a certain extent. Honest communication, being ready to accept fault, showing respect for each other, and giving time to heal can help to rebuild trust.

As a marriage consultant, what advice would you give to couples in heartbreak?

It is very difficult to find a solution for breaking trust. But, as a marriage consultant, I can advise them to communicate with each other about the problem without out delay. It will be more helpful to find a solution. Don't be afraid to talk, because it is your right. Sharing feelings is another important fact. Understand each other's pain, be patient, and give time to heal. Don't try to get advice from a third party unless it's a consultant. Defend your partner's heart as your own. If you are kind and try, even after breaking trust, you can share your love as before.
