Okay so I know I've got some grief for my other threads but I'm in an unfamiliar situation and I just don't know what's going on or what to do. Someone mentioned emotional affair so I've done lots of digging and I think I'm that third person involved...
I want to keep her as my friend regardless and I know she does too, she seems to tell me all her deeply personal stuff and then say "Don't tell him I told you.", we talk on the phone for hours late at night and she always deletes her call log and our conversations so he doesn't find out. She calls me whenever she's upset because he's not giving her what she wants and at first I kept thinking, I'm just being a good friend listening to her but now from my research I've understood "We're just friends." is a lie! She's committed and wouldn't leave him because she obviously thinks she needs him despite the fact she said the bad overbalances the good. It's not my relationship to get involved in so I'm starting to think I'm getting out of my depth. She confides in me telling me she hasn't told anybody else. She says "He used to call me for hours but doesn't any more." is she using me to get the things she's missing from her own relationship? She's told me that I just understand her and I've said the same, we've texted telling each other how much we mean to each other and I initially have just been happy supporting her but the more I've thought about it the more I'm wondering. I'm 16, she's 15, he's 17... Is this an example of an emotional affair?
I see her twice a week and can't avoid that so I can't just ignore her neither do I want to... What should I do? Explain to her what how I'm feeling about the situation? Our relationship won't go anywhere physical but I don't want to screw up their relationship because I've read about how bad emotional affairs are, how shall I go about this? Help please!
