The definition of infidelity in marriage is very subjective based on a person’s beliefs, values, and expectations from the relationship. Viewing pornography, unfaithful behavior, sex outside the relationship, and emotional affairs, in different degrees, can be termed infidelity by a spouse and may not be considered as forms of cheating in a relationship by the other partner. Here’s a quick guide for you to learn What Constitutes Infidelity in a Marriage?
Prevention is better than cure and avoiding infidelity in marriage by working on your relationship can save both of you from a lot of heartbreak. There are different ways you can intentionally avoid the situation and it takes effort from both partners. In studies conducted on 233 couples by researchers at the Florida State University, it was found that biases related to attractive relationship alternatives can help avoid infidelity in relationships.
Infidelity does not mean that the relationship has to end. Recovering from infidelity can seem very difficult, but it’s possible. It takes two to manage the relationship and also to get it back on track. Following certain steps in the recovery process for coping with infidelity can help, but professional help from an infidelity therapist is also necessary in many cases to work through infidelity.
