Case Study:
John has a job that requires him to travel quite a bit. Diane has a good job at
home, and their children are in high school. John recently admitted to Diane
that he had slept with several women during his trips during the past several
years, but that the relationships meant “nothing” to him. Diane’s face reddened,
and then she admitted to John that she was having a very intense “emotional
affair” with an old boyfriend that had been going on for eighteen months.
