Infidelity is the number one concern among women who have experienced rejection, a traumatic experience, and a distrustful partner. Although most women worry about emotional infidelity, more men are concerned about physical infidelity. The reason is that women are more perceptive of their emotions. On the other hand, men are more sensitive when it comes to a woman having physical intimacy and being unfaithful to them. Yet, these are only two types of infidelity.
There are other ways a
man or a woman can be unfaithful such as waiting for an opportunity to have
intimacy with someone else. There are times when the person is obliged to be
intimate with someone even though they are in a committed relationship with
someone. Most of the time this occurs without having any feelings for the other
person. Often, they want to experience something new in intimacy that they do
not get from their partner. Other times they might feel lonely or afraid of
their partner which might make them unfaithful.
The other types of
infidelity are complex to understand. Sometimes, the unfaithful person has a conflict with himself or with herself. They love their partner, and they
love someone else at the same time. Alternatively, they may no longer have
feelings for their partner. They find emotional and physical satisfaction in
their new love interest.
However, he or she
still finds it tough to explain to their current partner why they are cheating
on them. Some men cheat because their partners had gained weight over the years
along with more added responsibilities in their homes. Their partners are too
busy for them because they are taking care of their children or lose interest
in being intimate. Furthermore, women lose interest in dressing up for their
husbands and spending time with them. This might seem shallow as an excuse for
unfaithfulness since there might be other deeper reasons for doing this to
their partner.
For most women, the
painful aspect of cheating is emotional infidelity. Emotional infidelity
usually makes them do vengeance against their partner which makes their
relationship more damaging than it was before. The sign of emotional infidelity
is being neglected of your needs emotionally and physically. Your partner calls
you by someone else’s name while you are having a conversation with them or
during intimacy. Also, your partner loses interest in romancing their partner
with messages, affection, and other items that made the relationship flourish.
It is better not to revenge on your partner who has cheated on you. It might feel gratifying at first but in the end, you are the one that gets hurt more by doing this. If you feel you can save your marriage or your committed relationship with your partner, together you must have open communication without any judgment. Additionally, together you should heal as a couple and work on what needs to be done to improve your relationship. Here are more resources about infidelity.
