Reasons For Extramarital Affair

When you are married, attraction to other people seemes to to be a normal aspect of marriage, even in happy marriages. But you need to make sure that it ends at the attraction level and not spoil your married life.

One needs to understand that happily married spouses frequently either fantasise about or actually follow through on their attraction to someone outside the marriage. This is the time you need to have a quick reality check.

Things To Never Discuss Right After Marriage

The reasons for extramarital affair can be many but you need to understand and take the initiative to identify them. Try to cooperate with your partner to understand the reason and to solve the problem rather than complicate it.

Mostly an extra-marital affair points to something which has gone wrong in a relationship. Here are some reasons as to why people have extramarital affair.

5 Mistakes That Married Women Make

All these sitautions can be controlled with good communication and by spending time understanding each others needs and likes.

Early Marriage

Due to parental & society pressure, people marry early in their early 20s when they are just settled in their new jobs or done with studies. As the move into their 30's, they feel that they did not really enjoy their life in 20s, and to fix this craving they may indulge in an extramarital affair. It is their way of experiencing the thrill and excitement of dating.

Lack Of Sexual Satisfaction

This is the biggest & most common reason for an extramarital affair. Both women and men who have affairs think that by having an affair their sex life will improve. They may be enjoying mutual activities with their partners but for some reason, their sex life might not be great which drives them to extramarital affair.

Desire For Additional Sexual Encounters

This was a relatively infrequent reason cited by the individuals in this study. It's possible that more people had this as a reason but didn't want to admit to it as it is not a very socially acceptable wish to articulate. For example, one man in the study stated that he felt he needed more sex in his life to reward him for performing well at his job.

Falling Out Of Love With Your Partner

This is a insignificant reason as they suddenly find their partners unattractive and they start comparing them to some other great looking guy or girl. When they don't find those qualities in their partner they end up having an extramarital affair.

Becoming Parents

The moment a couple become parents everything changes in their life. Priorities change, the time you have been spending with each other reduces. The child becomes centre of the world for both the parents. Women usually forget that the husband needs attention too. When they fail to meet their requirement, the damage is done as men start to look somewhere else for the fulfilment of their needs.
