marital infidelity

Marital infidelity occurs when one spouse engages in a romantic or sexual relationship outside their committed marriage without the partner’s consent. It often damages trust, creating feelings of betrayal and emotional pain. Reasons for infidelity can include dissatisfaction, emotional needs, boredom, or opportunity. While some view it as a moral failing, others see it as a complex issue influenced by relationship dynamics. Addressing infidelity typically requires open communication, counseling, and mutual understanding to restore trust or make informed decisions about the future of the marriage.
