Although many people have affairs, they have varying opinions on what causes an affair. Generally speaking, most people who have affairs cite relationship issues as the cause. In general, the argument goes that when a person has trouble in a relationship, he or she will look for that trouble elsewhere. This is true to an extent, but there are other factors that can also contribute to an affair.
What is important in a relationship?
First, it’s important to note that when a relationship’s healthy, an affair’s negative attention usually doesn’t extend beyond one party. In most cases, extramarital relationships don’t last beyond the honeymoon phase; however, this is different for everyone. For some reason or another, certain individuals are able to keep their extramarital relationships going for a longer period of time. After all, there are many reasons why an individual would want to continue an extra-marital relationship once the honeymoon period is over.
Real Life Example
For example, in most cases, if a person has trouble in a relationship, he or she will look for that trouble elsewhere. In many cases, this leads to an affair— but there are other possible solutions as well. For example, if both partners want to stay in a bad relationship, they may work on the problems together and remain in each other’s lives despite the problems in their primary relationship. In these cases, their outside troubles don’t lead to problems in the primary relationship— they actually lead to improvements.
When to Suspect in a Relationship?
When a person suspects his partner may be cheating on him, it’s important to address the problem head on. For example, if your partner frequently argues with you or has trust issues with you, he may be having an extramarital affair. In these cases, the root of the problem lies within your partner; addressing those issues first can help establish trust and get the two of you back on track before you look outside of your primary relationship for support. It’s important to work through any issues you have before looking outside of your primary relationship for help; doing so can help you prevent damaging your current relationship and make your partner think twice about his behavior before committing any infidelity.
Trust & Relationship
In general, when a person has trouble in a relationship with his partner, he looks for that trouble elsewhere. This is true to an extent— but there are other factors that can also contribute to an affair. When you suspect your partner may be cheating on you, it’s important to address the problem head on so that you can clear up any issues that may be affecting his behavior toward you and make sure he knows how you feel about his behavior toward you before he feels any need to stray from your side again.
