Relationship Advice: Emotional Affair Warning Sign #2 - "I Can’t Wait to Tell You About…….."
By: Jeff Herring
Emotional affairs do not happen overnight. They sort of sneak up on you.
That’s why it is so important to know how to recognize the warning signs. Here is one of them.
“I just can’t wait to tell you about………
Consider, if you will, a typical day in your life or my life. Just about everyday there are events that occur that we want to tell someone esle about. Good things, bad things, interesting things, funny things. We naturally want to share them with someone.
Have you ever noticed that we typically think right away of one or two or maybe three people who we want to tell about the events of our day? It’s one of the ways we relax from our day and get connected to other people. Have you also noticed that the people we think about telling these things to are the people to whom we are the closest?
So one of the warning signs of an emotional affair is wanting to tell your friend first when something fun, interesting or important happens in your day.
This one sounds so small yet it is so telling.
While some of the warning signs of an emotional affair are glaring and huge, some are small and subtle. This is one of them. This sign reveals where your head and your focus is, and quite possibly where your heart is going, or even already is without you admitting it.
I mentioned above that one of the reasons we like to tell someone about our day is that this helps us connect and get closer to someone. So the questions then becomes, “Is it safe being this close to this person?”
