According to the experience of many relationship therapists, the most common cause of infidelity is one habit. Do you know which one?
Lack of communication and avoiding conflicts are reasons for infidelity in a partnership.
Many keep their feelings inside, which can become unfavorable when it comes to negative emotions, doubts or problems. Even though you think you're doing a good job by brushing these negative feelings under the rug to avoid conflict or an argument, at some point you'll start to take the trouble out on your partner. Issues you haven't openly discussed with them.
Instead of open communication, partners most often turn to the other person and then infidelity occurs. Experts believe that only an honest conversation can prevent adultery, and before the conversation you should ask yourself the following questions:
- Is there something I can't easily share with my partner?
- Why am I afraid to share this with him?
- What do I really need from him or do I ignore him?
- What is the key to my well-being that I am not getting from him?
Conflict is not always bad and it's natural that it happens, so you shouldn't fear it or avoid it, because it often gives both parties the opportunity to find out what factors in the relationship are causing problems. Otherwise, resentment and contempt, anger and rejection arise.
So, communicate about anything that bothers you, bothers you or worries you.
