Consequences Of Infidelity
Having an extramarital affair can have some hefty consequences in your relationship. here are a few of the consequences of infidelity:
Forbidden sex is an addiction that can and usually does have devastating consequences to an individual and a family.
Adultery shatters trust, intimacy, and self-esteem.
It breaks up families, ruins careers, and leaves a trail of pain and destruction in its path.
This potential legacy of emotional pain for one's children should be enough to make a person stop and count the costs before it's too late.
Even when affairs are never exposed, emotional costs are involved. Mates deprive their spouses of energy and intimacy that should go into the marriage.
They deceive their marriage partners and become dishonest about their feelings and actions.
The infidelity is not in the sex, necessarily, but in the secrecy. It isn't whom you lie with. It's whom you lie to.
