I have seen more information of late addressing the idea of an "emotional affair" that takes place only via email. Is this a commen problem? If it is, what does it tell us about the individual who finds themselves in this type of affair? I have read your book; When Good People Have Affairs - and wonder where you would consider addressing this type of situation. I have most often seen this as an affair between people who were in a prior relationship. Dr. Nancy Kalish has a website; Lost and Found Lovers, where people in these relationships blog about the emotional upheavals they experience in their affairs and it is all done online. Would a marriage be better able to survive this type of affair than one that also had physical contact? I would think so; but the issue is complicated by the fact that these are people who did know one another very well if not also physically intimate at an earlier time.
