Tahira Kashyap: Emotional atyachaar or random thought?

Talk it out if you find yourself debating emotional infidelity

Reality check

What do you do if you find yourself fantasizing about someone else

Is there something like emotional infidelity? Am I wrong in fantasising about being with a man other than my partner?

—Swati C, Mumbai

We are very complex as human beings. If you feel this is stemming from a void in your waking life, it’s always good to address the issue. But if you feel it’s random and isn’t consequential, then I guess just let your fantasies fly. Perhaps you can extend that creativity with your partner, too.

Jokes apart

I’m a jovial guy and recently pulled a female colleague’s leg by asking her if she had a crush on an actor she loves. She took it personally and complained to HR. I am devastated. What do I do?

—AC, Via email

You should be. Being jovial doesn’t mean you have octopus arms, flinging them around as if they have a life of their own. Apologise and never repeat.
