367: Emotional Affairs: A Modern Problem in an Ancient Brain

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld.

0:00 Teaser Clips & Intro

01:08 Q1: Emotional Affairs – Is there such a thing? Is this a modern phenomenon?

16:20 Human Love instincts

24:10 A modern day problem

46:46 Can you prevent an emotional affair?

1:02:45 Final thoughts

Q1: Does Dr. Lisle believe in such a thing as an emotional affair? For instance, if someone in a committed relationship has a friend, coworker, or other acquaintance that they are attracted to and even fantasize about, how do you know where the line is and what is normal "boredom" as opposed to a real problem? Do you think that people who find themselves having feelings of emotional infidelity should disclose those details to their spouse if it doesn't become physical? I realize that this is a vague question and any answer might come down to personal ethics. However, I would like to know if Dr. Lisle has any thoughts on this topic based on counseling people who have been in these types of situations.
