Being in a relationship requires much of your attention. However, due to busy schedule it is unavoidable, sometimes, to get closer with a co-worker that might end up with an emotional affair which in the long run will become an infidelity to your partner. Just being friends which you will confide most of your emotions at hand will mostly lead to emotional affairs. But it could be avoided is you stay honest with your partner. No matter how busy each of you might be, take time to share to your partner all your hopes, triumphs and failures including your attractions and temptations, which will help keep you from acting from them. Make time just for the two of you on a regular basis which is away from the kids, your friends and family. And, surround yourself with happily married friends who don’t believe in fooling around. Having positive, emotionally connected role models will help you stay on track.
