A platonic friendship can evolve into an emotional affair when the investment of intimate information crosses the boundaries set by the married couple.
An emotional affair is opening a door that should remain closed.
One of the differences between a platonic friendship and an emotional affair is that an emotional affair is kept secret.
A third difference is that people involved in an emotional affair often have feel a sexual attraction for one another. Sometimes the sexual attraction is acknowledged, and sometimes it isn't.
