There is never a fun time to deal with an emotional affair. Christmas can be particularly difficult if your husband is having an emotional affair online. This is the time of year when you want your husband to be with you and the family and not some phantom that seems to occupy the very best parts of him these days.
Your heart is breaking. But, for the sake of the family, you want to present your best face to the world and have the happiest possible Christmas.
Here are a few tips you can follow to help you keep your sanity while getting through this Christmas while knowing the truth about your husband's emotional affair.
1) Set ground rules. You both know what's going on whether you're willing to admit it or not. It's time to set time limits and pull him away from the computer, the cell phone, and the other connections he has to this other woman long enough to be a husband, father, son, brother, etc. to your family. Tell him that he needs to be present during the festivities. Remind him that he owes the people who love him most that much.
2) Be as loving and supportive as you know how to be when you are together. Emotional affairs are different from men than typical cheating. It's hard to compete with "phantom" competition. She can be the perfect woman online and in his mind but that doesn't mean she will be when face to face with your husband. So, become the supportive and loving partner he's imagining and see if that doesn't give him a new perspective about you.
3) Keep him disconnected as long as possible. The more time he spends with you and his family the less time he's spending with her. Keep him out and about and even consider taking a few days out of town together during the holidays to keep him even further away from her influence over him. Absence sometimes makes the heart grow fonder but it also gives you the opportunity to erase the other woman from his mind completely, use it wisely.
4) Be frivolous, daring, and fun. Remind your husband of all the things he fell in love with you for. Become the woman that took his breath away all over again. This, more than anything else, will push all thoughts of the other woman to the back of his mind and help you save your marriage.
