re: What the F is an "Emotional Affair" ?

Florida State psychology department did a study in which men and women were asked to imagine their significant other was in a sexual relationship with someone else BUT did not love them (physical affair) and then imagine the significant other WAS IN LOVE with someone else BUT WAS NOT having sex with them (emotional affair)

The study found that women 2 to 1 were more jealous about an emotional affair than sexual and it was the exact opposite for men.

They explained it from an evolutionary psychology perspective that men were more concerned about a sexual relationship because a man can never be 100% certain that if she gets pregnant it's his kid. Women know a man who is in love with her will be more likely to support her and her kid.
