The 7 signs of emotional infidelity

Emotional infidelity can leave scars as deep as a full blown affair . So what are  7 signs of emotional infidelity

1. Your partner is deleting text conversations or being evasive about conversations that they are holding with others. 
2. Your partner is talking or behaving in a way that might indicate to others that they are available and not that they are in a committed relationship. 
3. Your partner is divulging more information about themselves to another person than they share with you. 
4. Your partner has accused you of being paranoid, overly sensitive or jealous when their behaviour with others is questioned. 
5. Your partner is talking negatively about you and your relationship to others. 
6. Your partner is discussing sensitive and confidential matters about you and relationship with others. 
7. Your partner fails to support you when necessary, in the company of others. 

Integrity is vitally important in the formation of trust within a relationship. Do you trust your partner to act in the same way in all situations and regardless of company. How do they act with their friends? Work colleagues? Family members? Do they always act and speak with honesty, do they have your back in all circumstances? Can you rely on them, and know them to act with consistency. Would you describe them to be of good character ? 

It is always helpful to have the conversation, however uncomfortable, about your individual definition of emotional intimacy. Have the conversation when your relationship is stable and happy rather than when it has hit acrimony. Allow room for different opinions and work towards an agreement that you are both comfortable with. Trust is vital in relationship, and agreeing on the principals of trust will provide you with a solid foundation with which to move forward.
