1. Treating the other party's relatives and friends coldly, sometimes even wanting to avoid them.
Men's emotional infidelity doesn't involve physical sex like infidelity; rather, it manifests as an emotional transference. In real life, this means they no longer consider their spouse their closest person, and naturally, they want to maintain distance from their spouse's friends and family, even lacking enthusiasm and interest, and deliberately avoiding them.
2. Feeling inexplicably annoyed and keeping people at arm's length.
Another sign of a man's emotional infidelity is that he inexplicably becomes distant, harboring feelings for someone else. His attention is often focused on another person, and he finds marital life tedious or uninteresting, viewing his current partner as a burden and superfluous. Therefore, when his partner asks him something or tries to be intimate, he is often rejected. He appears indifferent to his partner's emotional reactions; your happiness doesn't affect him, and your sadness doesn't.
3. Frequently makes excuses not to go home, and even when home, prefers to be alone.
When a man is emotionally unfaithful, he will feel that going home is a burden and boring, so he will often find excuses not to go home, such as meeting up with friends or having company engagements. Even when he does go home, he will often watch TV alone or play computer games after dinner. Although he is idle anyway, he is unwilling to find something to do with his partner to pass the time. Therefore, couples in this situation face a potential crisis in their marriage.
4. Comparing the other person to others and finding fault with everything they do.
Life and work are all about comparisons, and this is especially true in marriage. If a man constantly complains about his partner over trivial matters, sometimes deliberately nitpicking, and always comparing her to others, then such a marriage will only become increasingly dull.
5. Forgetting the other person's birthday and giving a gift is just a perfunctory gesture.
When a man is emotionally unfaithful, he will inevitably become less attentive to his partner's needs. For example, he might have a vague memory of her birthday, or even forget it altogether, or the birthday gift he gives her might be obviously a perfunctory purchase. Therefore, even if a man who is emotionally unfaithful wants to maintain passion in his marriage, it is impossible for him to do so.
6. They often have little secrets they don't want to share with their partner.
When one partner is emotionally unfaithful, they often keep their personal feelings to themselves, unwilling to share them with their spouse. They tend to create a private space within themselves, preferring to let their inner thoughts fester rather than reveal them to their partner.
7. Unwilling to compromise with the other party, and will ignore them if angered.
They are very unwilling to compromise with their partner. Once they are provoked, even if the other person is crying in distress, they are too lazy to compromise and will leave the other person aside to do their own thing or find their own entertainment. In daily life, their attitude is lukewarm and they rarely take the initiative to be affectionate with their partner. After an argument, they are very likely to fall into a long period of cold war.
