Why people have affairs?
Talk about a loaded topic that no one wants to talk about, this is it. Amusing thing, affairs have been going on ever since old ages. Extramarital relationships can be burdened with troubles, cause heartache, and other problems. Plus you have to wrap your maind around all the other issues, there’s that truth and honesty issue, money, age dissimilarity, faith education, remorse, and on and on. I anticipate there will be some strong opinions about some of this.
For the intention of this post I should identify an affair as a long term, maybe years long relationship of a sexual nature between two people of whom one or both are married to other wives/husbands, discreet dating for married.
Why do men have affairs? There are as many answers as there are seek affair. I am sure generally though it is only the human nature, the need for liking, belonging, to be wanted and cared for, the caring for others and wanting to be loved and appreciated. Here are a several explanations I have run across.
Biologically we as humans are all sexual beings. Nature has us set up to reproduce, to have sex. Sex is pleasant and fun, and sex makes us escape the world for a brief period of time. This euphoria exists for whatever amount of time we are able to keep the adrenalin levels elevated enough. Some people can switch the desire on and off, some are excellent at controlling it and others are so-so at best. But we all have it, young and old, able bodied and not so able. It is the Human condition. For some of us it is the sex act itself that drives us. For some of us it is the excitement of the chase. For some of us it is the seduction, for some it is the love for another individual, for some it is the wish to be appreciatedloved, for some it is the entire romance thing. These wishes and yearnings can be so strong they prevail over the taboos humanity has erected against extra-marital affairs. For many people the yearnings will defeat their worries and make them risk the anger of not only their family, but the public too. So why, what is the mechanism?
Sex Addicts, perhaps some of us are. Sex is extremely good, better then drugs, a natural high. If you are in this group of physically obsessed sex addicts and can find away to have an affair and not hurt your family or anybody else? You would need to reduce the danger you are taking. If you have the feeling that a good affair is one that is beneficial to everybody, then good luck.
No love at home, or no romance. I think this is the largest cluster, enormous actually. There are many couples whose marital relationships is over, but they feel happy in the way they live, and upsetting the extended families is not on their list of things they wish to do. You love your spouse but there is no romance. Then there are the children to look after. Your money are so tangled. You need the medical insurance, and so on. There are a lot of reasons to live jointly besides love and sex.
Bodily reasons, there are some people who can not have sex. They have physical reasons that stop them completing the sex act, at least not with their othere half. An marital affair occasionally solves the trouble while keeping the marriage whole.
Ignoring, sorrowfully this is a regular reason I fear. One or the other, as a rule the man is sexually neglecting his female for a number of reasons. As a male I actually appreciate you guys neglecting your wives and making them available to us men of romance, making them “hot milfs” Though I still think it is despicable that you are neglectful. Then there is the spouse who is neglectful until the wife or husband has an affair, then they condemn them for doing so, when they where the catalyst. Those who neglect, then condemn, are not only neglectful, but malevolent.
Something is just misplaced in the marriage, I can not put my finger on it, but its not there. Maybe its romance that is missing, maybe it is a shortage of love, could be compassion is gone, maybe it is the closeness, maybe neglect. Maybe we have simply developed distantly, our ordinary interests diverged. Maybe it is that what I want, and what I want to do the rest of my ages, is diverce of what you want. Could be I just don’t know what I want from the marriage anymore. Maybe, just maybe I miss that feeling that when I am with you, it just feels right.
The major reason people give is, they seek the passion that is missing and so very much longed for.
There are other reasons, the feeling of power, to escape, for financial gain, for retribution and so on. I am sure there are more reasons why people have affairs then these. I only stop because if this gets too long no one will read it.
