A Twilight Kiss

I have previously presented a possibility for the enigma that is the Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart relationship — an emotional affair — defined as “an affair [that] excludes physical intimacy but includes emotional intimacy. It may also be called an affair of the heart.”

Here is a set of descriptions differentiating between friendships and emotional affairs that Kristen Stewart may ponder upon to clarify her personal feelings regarding her romantic partner Michael Angarano and her friend Robert Pattinson

Feelings of attraction:

Friendship:

* Feelings for your friend are completely platonic. That means you are not attracted to your friend and couldn’t imagine having sex with them.

Emotional affair:

* You begin to have feelings of attraction for your friend. You wonder what it would be like to kiss or touch your friend.

Longing for your friend instead of your partner:

Friendship:

* You look forward to seeing your friend at work or out socially, but ultimately look forward to going home to your partner.

Emotional affair:

* You spend more energy longing for your friend than you do your partner. When you’re with your partner, you look forward to when you can get back to spending time with your friend.

Secrecy:

Friendship:

* Your relationship with your friend is out in the open. Your partner knows when you meet for dinner and have lunch, and you are honest when asked how you two spent your time.

Emotional affair:

* You tend to hide information on your friendship from your partner. You email or call each other in secret, and when asked how you two spent your time you have a tendency to lie.

Your friendship upsets your partner:

Friendship:

* Your partner is supportive of spending time with your friend.

Emotional affair:

* Something about your friendship bothers your partner, and when he or she asks you about it you get uncomfortable or defensive.

Your friend takes up your thoughts:

Friendship:

* You daydream and fantasize about your present relationship, not your friend.

Emotional affair:

* You dream and fantasize about your friend, not your present relationship.

ATwilightKiss Adopts Verifiable Claims Although my blog is not a news network, I’d like to adopt a reporter’s attitude that there must be proof of claims, because I do wish to be responsible and avoid being a site for unverified information and rumor mongering. It would be helpful for ATK readers to leave a link to their source of information so that I can decide whether it is reliable or not, in my opinion.
