Much of the time, men will do anything to avoid confrontations and that is why they sneak. That of course is not right, but it is reality. The lying makes it seem like something worse than it may actually be and makes the partner feel betrayed. Sometimes people don't see not telling as lying and think they are protecting the partner's feelings by not upsetting them.
...and sometimes they've brought up the issue(s) in a reasonable manner multiple times in the past and nothing ever really changes.
Look at this from the man's perspective; why would a man ever want to have an "emotional affair?" Really think about that.
Men are not women; we don't take pleasure in revealing our deepest darkest secrets. We don't enjoy spilling our guts our seeing other people spilling their guts on national TV on Oprah and Rikki Lake.
There is absolutely nothing for a man in an "emotional affair" except the possibility of sex; that's the real goal and desire.
If I was forced to choose between an "emotional relationship," and a "sexual relationship," the later would win, no contest.
So, I guess your real problem is giving it the name "emotional affair" because in the end, it does lead to cheating. It's just some men are found out BEFORE the "touchdown". It's the interim we are calling an emotional affair or as you put it, pregame, verbal foreplay.....

Well, there you have it again, folks. Men have no need for emotional fulfillment. They're all about the sex. I suppose they all get married for the sake of fulfilling the needs of their chosen lay just to keep the booty coming.

Everyone's situation is different. Some marriages are varitible traps. I'd sure think long and hard before doing it again.

Real men can do that. Ok, maybe not the Oprah stuff though. The emotional part of the relationship is at least 80% of the good stuff.

I beg to differ. A lot of men suffer from low self-esteem and they need someone to go all "ga-ga" for them even if it doesn't mean crossing that line.
However, I do have to say that most emotional affairs when go unrevealed for a long period of time eventually turn into physical one. Most people just cannot withhold their curiousity and always see grass to be greener on the other side.

No, I think that men get something out of an "emotional affair" besides the prospect of sex. In my case, this chick was "understanding". She stroked his ego and there were no discussions between them about bills, kids, responsibility...they just got to shoot the breeze and pat each other on the head and tell one another how awesome they are.
In her words, "we were trying to help each other through rough patches...we were trying to remember how much we love our spouses". That's just a bunch of hooey.
