Don't Lose Your One True Love. Fix Your Marriage Alternative to Counseling. Get FREE Advice Immediately.

People usually enter marriages and relationships thinking they would never have an affair, but in many cases, that turns out to be a wrong assumption. Affairs are not always about more sex, they can be about romanticism, mythology, too much emotions, the wish to feel alive through pain, fear and secrecy, or even morality. To be able to fight infidelity in our lives, we have to understand its different types first.

1) Conflict Avoidance Affair: It is the case when the person is so afraid of conflicts which might lead to losing control or being abandoned that s/he runs away from facing the problem and trying to eradicate it.

2) Intimacy Avoidance Affair: Unlike couples in the “conflict avoidance affair”, those couples are usually both involved in affairs, and since they are scared of getting too close to each other, they keep barriers between them, and one of those barriers is infidelity.

3) Sexual Addiction Affair: Those people use extra-marital sex to numb their emptiness and pain, in the same way others may resort to drugs or alcohol. This case is found more amongst men than amongst women.

4) Split Self Affair: The people caught in this type of affairs are the ones who had sacrificed everything, including their feelings, for their family for a long time. Thus the affair is usually serious and long-term and may end up in having to decide between it and the marriage.

5) Exit Affair: These are the affairs used as an excuse to end the marriage. The other partner is to blame also, for s/he usually blames the affair for the failure of the marriage in stead of trying to find the reasons behind that failure.
