The relationship between husband and wife is based on trust, love, and dedication. If any one of these is lacking, the relationship starts weakening. Many times it also happens that a third person spoils the relationship of husband and wife by interfering in a happy married life. It is often believed that only men cheat in a relationship, but this is not true. Women can also get attracted to someone else after marriage and have an extramarital affair. In today's time, this is becoming common in society, but the question is why is this happening?

What do studies say?

The foundation of a relationship is based on love, trust, and mutual understanding. When any of these three things start weakening, the relationship starts cracking. Often when it comes to extramarital affair, men are blamed more in society. But is it only men who cheat? This problem is not limited to just one gender, both men and women can get attracted to someone else after marriage.

Even after marriage, some people start taking an interest in someone else outside their relationship. Why does this happen? There can be many psychological and social reasons behind this. Let us know some of the major reasons that can attract people to someone else even after marriage.

Lack of emotional support

Emotional support is very important in any relationship. If the husband and wife do not connect emotionally with each other, the relationship can weaken. Men are often emotionally sensitive, but they are unable to express their feelings openly. When they do not get the emotional support they need from their spouse, then they start looking for it elsewhere.

Emotional connection is also very important for women. If they do not feel a proper emotional connection with their husband, then they can also get attracted to someone else. This attraction can gradually turn into a deeper relationship.

Search for adventure and entertainment.

Romance and excitement gradually fade away amid the daily hustle and bustle and responsibilities of married life. Some men and women enter into extramarital affairs to escape this monotony. They feel that a new person can add excitement to their life.

People who lack excitement in their married life try to get a new experience by going out of their relationship. This experience gives them temporary happiness, but when the truth comes out, it badly affects their family and relationships.

Lack of coordination and constant fights

Small arguments and fights are common in every relationship, but when these arguments become a part of everyday life and tension starts increasing in the relationship, then people start drifting away from each other. When the communication gap between husband and wife increases and they fail to understand each other, then they start getting attracted to someone else.

After a few years of marriage, there is love between husband and wife, but if the mutual coordination is not good, then this love can slowly fade away. In such a situation, people start looking for someone who can understand them and respect their feelings.

Distorted thinking prevalent in society

Some men have a misconception that a "real man" is the one who can have a relationship with any woman without any fear. This thinking is the result of patriarchy and a distorted mentality in society.

Such people consider themselves "cool" or "smart" and show their affair as a matter of pride. But this misconception does not let them think that their married life is in danger.
