Tamera?s Friend Zone Tips
Is Emotional Cheating a Problem?
Adrienne Houghton: But the moment that a man is emotionally cheating, meaning that he?s talking to this person, he?s spending time with them ? that?s? that?s a problem.
Tamera Mowry-Housley: Yeah.
Adrienne: I?m? I?m telling you from personal experience. I have guy friends that have cheated on their girls a bunch of times, with a bunch of women, never thought a thing about it ? and then, met someone that they actually had an emotional connection with and that made them change their entire lives.
Tamera: Well, I think it?s dangerous because in the beginning they just think, ?Oh, it?s just emotional.? But the reality is?
Adrienne: It?s worse?
Tamera: It?s worse, because you start out being emotional and that can only lead to physical?.
Jeannie: Mai: Physical?
Loni Love: What? I?m trying ? I?m understanding? what is the emotional part? Is it that they?re sharing something… explain it to me.
Adrienne: Talking on the phones for hours?
[The Real audience laughs]
Adrienne: Talking about the things that you feel you can?t speak to your woman or your wife about?
Tamera: To your? another?.
Jeannie: It?s a connecting on a deeper level?
Tamera: On an emotional level.
Jeannie: Right, that when you get those butterflies in your stomach when you?re talking to somebody or when you start to?
Adrienne: Which long term just make the sex so bomb.
Jeannie: Yes, but that?s because?
Tamera: And that?s how women get connected first. If we?re honest, that?s how women get connected first ? emotionally.
Adrienne: If we gon? keep it real.
Jeannie: I always said? of course. With women ? [Looks into camera] men, just letting you know PSA ? you gonna make love to our minds before you make love to our bodies.
Tamera: Yep, yep.
