30th<\/sup>July 6.30 am<\/p>\n

Luke, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We have been through a long distance relationship, an interracial marriage, a miscarriage, a business loss and addiction problems. I didn\u2019t mind going through all of that because you were with me. I believed we were for each other. But I was wrong. Your affair has betrayed my trust and ruined our marriage of 10 years. Luke, we are far from okay… it is over.
\nTina slapped her phone shut. Hey eyes were swollen. She had cried the entirenight. For Tina a sexual affair was non excusable. Her marriage was over.
\nLike Tina,infidelity is devastatingfor any spouse. An affair is the worst blow that a marriage can suffer. An affair usually leads tobroken marital relationship, separation or divorce.
\nRegardless of these consequences, extra-marital affairs<\/a> aremuch more common than we think.
\nHere are some contributing factors:<\/strong>
\nTroubled marriage:<\/strong>
\nIf a marriage is continually traumatizing due to fights and misunderstandings, a spouse could desire pleasure or emotional comfort outside marriage.
\nFriendship that was initially sought for emotional comfortcould transform into an affair.Or, a spouse could get attracted to a romantic\/sexual opportunity as compensation for what s\/he no longer receives from marriage.
\nIf a spouse has cheated, the other spouse could have an affair as a revengeful reaction.
\nNot feeling valued by one\u2019s partner:
\nIf a spousedoesn\u2019t feel valued by his\/her partner, s\/hemay desire someone else who can make him\/her feel special.
\nA spouse doesn\u2019t feel valued when his\/her partner: <\/strong>
\n\u2022 Doesn\u2019t invest enough time in their marital relationship
\n\u2022 Doesn\u2019t share about life events openly
\n\u2022 Doesn\u2019t make romantic gestures
\n\u2022 Is ungrateful for whatever his\/her spouse does for their marriage
\n\u2022 Doesn\u2019t acknowledge his\/her spouse\u2019s stresses and desires
\n\u2022 Doesn\u2019t support his\/her spouse during difficult circumstances<\/p>\n

Unfulfilled desires:<\/strong>
\nIf a spouse has desires that marriage does not fulfil s\/he may seek fulfilment outside marriage. Examples ofsuch desires are: more sex, adventurous sexor desiring a partner who is more available, rich, emotionally involved, attractive or supportive.
\nIf a spouse is flirtatious or easily attracted towards appealing persons, s\/he mayattempt an affair to satisfy these romantic\/sexual desires.
\nSome individuals can never be satisfied with one partner and continuously seek to have sex outside marriage. This could be due touncontrollable sexual fetish, abnormal sexual needs or commitment phobia.<\/p>\n

The factors that lead to extra-marital affairs can be numerous and difficult to predict. The possibility of infidelity can be avoided when spouses value each other and actively try to meet each other\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n
