Infidelity leaves the betrayed partner feeling unloved, unappreciated and replaced — and likely depressed and angry for months to come.
It may even terminate your marriage.
Whether we are directly affected by infidelity or not, it is important we understand more about it in order to deal with it should the need arise.
To begin, here are 4 issues that commonly lead to infidelity:
1. The never-ending “battle” between lust and love.
Many individuals in committed relationships say they love their partner but still lust after other people. Illogical? Well, not exactly.
MRI scans illustrate that when the brain is exposed to lust it responds as if under the influence of drugs. The sex hormones rise, which is not the case when experiencing love.
The intensity of lust tends to exceed the intensity of love, but it is also short lived. Love is powerful when it comes to co-existence, care and emotional stability. It is love that keeps us together for the long run. But desire, passion, novelty, the unknown … these are the feelings that make us feel young, desirable and alive.
Lust is an altered state of consciousness programmed by the primal urge to procreate. Аmarriage that doesn’t have passion becomes limited — and to some people may even feel like a prison. Infidelity often happens when one partner (or both) enjoys some elements of the relationship, such as security and comfort, but no longer wants the other partner sexually. Falling into the monotony of everyday life, they forget to maintain the level of passion and connection that prevents them from looking outside their own relationship.
