Infidelity
How could Infidelity affect my mental health?
Infidelity refers to the act of breaking a commitment, typically in a romantic or marital relationship, by engaging in a sexual or emotional relationship with someone other than one's partner without their knowledge or consent.
Infidelity, commonly known as cheating, occurs when an individual in a committed relationship engages in a romantic or sexual involvement with someone outside that relationship, often in secret and without the knowledge or consent of their partner. Infidelity can be driven by various factors, including dissatisfaction within the relationship, emotional needs not being met, or external temptations. It can cause significant emotional distress, loss of trust, and damage to the primary relationship, often leading to conflicts, separations, or divorce. Rebuilding trust and healing from the effects of infidelity can be a challenging and complex process, often requiring open communication, therapy, and a commitment to addressing underlying issues within the relationship. Understanding the underlying causes and consequences of infidelity is essential for both preventing and addressing it within a partnership.
