The article explores the prevalence and motivations behind spousal infidelity, noting it as the primary reason for relationship breakups. Infidelity often stems from feelings of dissatisfaction, neglect, and anger within a relationship, serving as a distraction from deeper emotional issues. The impact of infidelity is profound, often resulting in intense anger among betrayed partners, and it can lead to significant consequences such as divorce, depression, and decreased self-esteem. The narrative is enriched with client testimonials that illustrate the often spontaneous nature of infidelity and the emotional void it attempts to fill.
"I really didn't plan on it. But I've just become so close with a woman at work. We've been seeing each other for three months now."
"I've felt so invisible in my relationship with my wife. With Cassandra, I feel heard and even admired."
"It started with our having a coffee after working out at the gym. I know he's married and I'm not sure where this is going or what I want. I do know that I'm just so frustrated with my husband."
Infidelity may be motivated by a variety of factors, including dissatisfaction, neglect, anger, and sexual desire. I've often observed in my clinical work that anger plays a major role, often as a reaction to dissatisfaction, neglect, and sexual problems.
