“Romantic emotional” relationships – no, not just an excessive synonym.
On Thursday, the post reported that Andrew Cuomo and his high assistant, married then Melissa Derosa, were involved in a “romantic emotional relationship”.
Derosa allegedly entrusted Josh Vlasta, a former Quoom’s former help at the AG office who denied having sex with the former New York governor, but referred to her relationship with her as a “romantic emotional relationship”.
Vlasto proved that Derosa claimed that the pair “did not have sex and we are not crossing that line or something like that”.
“After all, this is when she told me this was the nature of their relationship. It was emotionally intimate were the words she used,” Vlasto said.
But what is even a “romantic emotional relationship?”
Genny Finkel, a licensed clinical social worker licensed by NYC, described this in the post as “a relationship that crosses a limit or a line”.
“They are talking about things that are really intimate, they are making it clear that the person is different from their partner and there is a lot of flirting,” she explained.
It is different from the connection you have with your close friends – and you know it.
“The difference between a friendship and an emotional affair is when there is a longing, there is an excitement, there is a need,” Dr. Jane Greer, marriage and family therapist, and the author of “Are I Lying myself? How to Overcome the Deny and See the Truth,” The Post told him.
This can hurt as much as a sexual issue, “because there is a betrayal of faith,” she said.
Finkel explained, “This is considered a matter even if it is not physical.”
Sometimes it refers to as an “emotional issue”, about 35% of women and 45% of men admit to dealing with illegal behavior, according to data published last year by the American Marriage and Family Therapy.
And many bored lovers are afraid that this will lead to a sexual issue.
“Men rarely open emotionally to anyone, unless they are their romantic partner, and they often confuse emotional intimacy with sexual intimacy,” said Wendy Walsh, a professor of psychology who has a doctorate in clinical psychology and serves as a relationship expert.
“It becomes unclear. When men have emotional intimacy, it is often associated with sexual resurrection.”
Finkel noted that these inappropriate relationships often begin in the workplace as colleagues are related to work stresses and see each other often.
And it just makes it harder to solve.
“I think it’s an abuse of power in many ways,” Finkel said. “We have to think about the dynamics of power in a work environment, and I would just worry about the abuse of power in the future.”
“How would he take his power to influence or get what he wants from people?”
