Extramarital affairs refer to romantic or sexual relationships that occur outside of a committed marriage. These relationships can involve emotional connections or physical intimacy and often lead to significant consequences for all parties involved. The reasons for engaging in such affairs can vary, including dissatisfaction in the marriage, desire for novelty, or emotional needs not being met. The impact of extramarital affairs can be profound, affecting not only the individuals directly involved but also their spouses and families. Issues such as trust, communication, and emotional well-being may be severely compromised. In some cases, couples may seek therapy to address the fallout and rebuild their relationship.
