Why adults have extramarital affairs?
Speak about a loaded issue that no one wants to speak about, this is it. Amusing thing, married dating have been going on from the beginning of the world. Extramarital affairs can be loaded with troubles, cause misery, and other troubles. Plus you have to wrap your brain around all the other issues, there’s that truth and frankness matter, money, age dissimilarity, spiritual background, guilt, and on and on. I suppose there will be some strong opinions about some of this.
For the purpose of this article I shall classify an affair as a long term, maybe weeks long relationship of a sexual nature between two people of whom one or both are married to other persons, date married man.
Why do women have extramarital affairs? There are as many reasons as there are women seeking affairs. I am conserned mainly though it is just the human state, the need for affection, belonging, to be wanted and cared for, the caring for others and wanting to be loved and loved. Here are a several reasons I have run across.
Naturally we as humans are all sexual creatures. Nature has us set up to reproduce, to have sex. Sex is pleasing and fun, and sex makes us get away the world for a short period of time. This excitement exists for whatever amount of time we are able to keep the adrenalin levels elevated enough. Some people are able to turn the desire on and off, some are good at controlling it and others are so-so at best. But we all have it, young and elder, 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 caring for another being, for some it is the longing to be appreciatedloved, for some it is the total romance thing. These wishes and yearnings can be so strong they rise above the taboos the world has erected against extra-marital affairs. For many individuals the yearnings will beat their doubts and make them risk the anger of not only their family, but the public too. So why, what is the means?
Sex Addicts, possibly some of us are. Sex is horribly pleasant, better then drugs, a natural high. If you are in this group of biologically obsessed sex addicts and can find away to have sex and not harm your family or anybody else? You would need to minimize the jeopardy you are taking. If you have the feeling that a good affair is one that is beneficial to everyone, then good luck.
No love at home, or no romance. I think this is the biggest group, huge truly. There are many couples whose marriage 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. Also there are the kids to consider. Your assets are so tangled. You need the medical insurance, and so on. There are a lot of reasons to be together besides love and sex.
Physical 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 spouse. An marital affair occasionally solves the difficulty while keeping the marriage undamaged.
Avoidance, sorrowfully this is a common reason I fear. One or the other, generally the gentleman is sexually neglecting his spouse for a large humber of reasons. As a male I really appreciate you guys neglecting your wives and making them available to us males of romance, making them “milf wives” But I still think it is despicable that you are neglectful. Also 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 just 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, could be it is a lack of love, maybe caring is gone, could be it is the intimacy, could be neglect. Maybe we have just grown separately, our general interests diverged. Could be it is that what I want, and what I want to do the rest of my ages, is diverce of what you want. Maybe I just do not know what I want from the marriage anymore. Could be, just maybe I miss that feeling that when I am with you, it just feels right.
The major reason people give is, they search for the passion that is missing and so very much longed for.
There are other reasons, the feeling of power, to run away, for financial gain, for revenge 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.
