Emotional Affair
How do you tell a friend she is involved in an emotional affair? She is involved emotionally with the husband of my good friend and used to be her good friend. She's confused as to why the wife has put so much distance between her. She doesn't get it. There's so much denial as to the depth of her involvement with the husband. Everytime I go there with her, she gets angry at me and I don't know if a friendship can be salvaged between her and I. Help!! any advice is appreciated

Dear 'Emotional Affair'
I agree with the other poster. You can't do anything else. You have chosen to tell her and she has chosen not to listen to you. You can't force her out of denial. All you can do is wait until she comes to terms and be there for her to support her and not say "I told you so". Past that, you really just have to drop it babe. It is apparently hurting your relationship and it is really isn't any of your business, it's between your friend and the wife and husband. So really hun, you just got to stay out of it.
Goodluck!

I have a knack for always having the answer that no one wants to hear...
Let it go. When it comes to emotional affairs no one is really aware of it until it explodes into a bloody mist of hurt feelings and lots of screaming. That's just the way these things work. The best course of action is to let her continue on her path until it ends itself (and it will).
It's not easy and it's not pretty when it finally htis the powder keg, but it's the only way to really go about it, because she doesn't want to hear it, admit it, or resolve it.
