Danielle Lee Darling recalls her 'emotional romantic relationship' in 2020 that disrupted her stable life, causing turmoil akin to scandals involving public figures like Cuomo. She stresses that a good person can stumble into moral errors during difficult times. Experts highlight that emotional affairs bind two people through intimate, non-physical connections that transcend ordinary friendship boundaries. This type of relationship can evoke strong desires and excitement, complicating already existing partnerships. Responses vary, as seen with Cuomo's spokesperson dismissing accusations of emotional intimacy as unfounded.
"I had an emotional affair, but I know I'm a good person. Even good people do not-so-good things when they're not in a good place [mentally]."
"They're talking about things that are really intimate. They're making it clear that the person is different than their partner."
"The distinction between a friendship and an emotional affair is when there's a longing, there's an excitement, there's a need."
