Affair is one of those words that we use and expect to be understood in the most polite and respectful manner possible. Sadly, many of us do not live up to this expectation. When someone is having an affair, there are usually problems within the relationship. One of these issues can be a lack of trust. It is common for one person in the relationship to be too trusting of another. This can lead to a situation where the affair happens as a result of wanting something from the other person that they are not sure of.
Because some relationships; can be very open and honest, others may be more secretive. If the affair is more of a secretive affair, the betrayed spouse may find it hard to believe their partner would cheat on them. When this happens, the therapist may want to take the approach of asking questions to discover whether or not the partner was having secret affairs. This will help the partner to deal with their own guilt in regards to their part in the affair and learn how to be more faithful.
During the early phase of AFFair; the therapist may want to establish whether or not the couple is headed down a dangerous road. This is because a lot of affairs can start off as innocent and harmless thoughts. However, these can easily evolve into more dangerous acts. For instance, a small initial affair may turn into a more elaborate affair involving many partners. At this stage, a cheater could even be living with several different partners.
- The late stage of AFFairs is where many affairs take place.
- As mentioned before, a cheater’s biggest fear is being discovered. If he or she had kept his or her mouth shut, the affair would never have happened.
- Fortunately, if the cheater has already had an affair, he or she will not be able to keep his or her mouth shut.
- If the cheater is living with several different partners, he or she will most likely be seen as not monogamous.
- In this case, the infidelity statistics show that a couple will have trouble surviving an affair if it continues.
When it comes to marital infidelity; the statistics show that almost half of all divorces can be attributed to some form of infidelity. Marital infidelity often takes place when a person has started to feel slightly unhappy in their relationship. In other cases, a person may feel completely and totally happy in their marriage. Unfortunately, some people get caught up in their marriage, fall in love with someone other than their spouse, and then eventually start to have an affair.
A therapist who specializes in marital affairs may be helpful for these couples. Although the reasons behind the affair are not always easy to understand, the couple will likely feel better knowing that a trusted professional is there to help them work through their problems. If you or your spouse is having marital difficulties, consider talking to an experienced therapist for more information.
