7. They keep gaslighting you
If they are developing feelings for this person, it’s more than normal to get defensive whenever you bring up this topic. As a result, they will try and do everything in their power to convince you that you are overreacting and acting crazy. The second you criticize their “special friend,” they might even get angry trying to defend them. Don’t allow them to gaslight you and invalidate your feelings. This is a very toxic trait, and it can be very harmful to your mental health.8. They make you doubt your own emotions
As a result of what we have mentioned in the previous point, being gaslighted can mess up your mental health. They will do everything they can to hide the emotional affair they are having. Even if they have to resort to emotional manipulation. If they keep pushing you to believe you are creating problems in the relationship, you might even start doubting your intuition, self-worth, and even your sense of self.9. They will cancel on you to spend time with their friend
It has been a while since you and your partner have spent some quality time together, and you can’t wait for your upcoming date night. But all of a sudden, and without a reasonable explanation, they cancel on you. You later find out that they did it so they could spend more time with their new friend. This is hurtful and inconsiderate. While you don’t hold the monopoly of your partner’s feelings and emotions, it’s only fair that they prioritize you over their friendships. Especially if it’s a non-urgent matter.10. They keep picking up fights with you
Managing an emotional relationship outside of an actual romantic relationship might be stressful. As your partner becomes pressured to balance both relationships without your knowledge, they might become increasingly frustrated. This can trigger unjustified reactions on their side. They might get angry at you for the tiniest reason, and you can’t figure out why they behave like that. What you can do is ask them directly. And if they get mad at that as well, that’s a pretty huge sign that something is going on. What are your thoughts on this subject? Is emotional cheating something that concerns you?
