God is concerned with our hearts. He says that if we sin in our thoughts, we've sinned in our hearts, and our actions don't really matter because the damage is already done. So it comes as no surprise that there would be two kinds of adultery. Emotional, and physical. I was listening to Creflo Dollar, and he said something that I already knew, but in a clearer fashion.
Sharing anything with anyone that you haven't shared with your spouse is wrong. Deep secrets should be shared with a close friend of the same sex if you simply CAN'T share it with your spouse(even though that's who you should be sharing it with.) The problem with opening your heart to other people is that it hardens your heart towards your spouse. You feel that you are getting something from someone else that you aren't, but should be getting from your spouse. It reflects badly on them, and you develop feelings for this "other."
More often than not, the problem is brought to your attention and you immediately go on the defensive not understanding why you should have to cut this "other" out of your life. People resist because the emotional ties are already there. It's unfortunate, but I can attest to this from experience. If you truly want to see your relationship fail. Keep pursuing your "other."
