Relationship Recovery.
I always find interesting points about relationships when looking through
various magazines and social media. But finding an article entitled “cheating
made our relationship better” made me laugh. It’s totally baffling how the
ultimate betrayal could strengthen something that was weak already.
Digging deeper into this it seems some crackpots think that dividing your
emotional and physical needs can work better than expecting everything from
one person. Looking further afield can mean that you’re looking for something
that doesn’t currently exist in your first relationship.
If something is missing from the person you love that you so desperately need
you are willing to cheat to get it any way shape or form, you are plain and simply
cheating. It doesn’t help the relationship, it is hurting it subconsciously, guilt,
anxiety, mood, and change is picked up on. People are not that stupid to overlook
a change in circumstances and accept it, they know. Trying to justify cheating is
not something anyone can achieve.
If a relationship is wrong or hurting the people involved emotionally or
physically it should be ended truthfully and as cleanly as possible. Introducing a
third party does not fix anything.
It is an individual’s opinion to define his or her own relationship and what is
acceptable. I just couldn’t see it becoming the norm and people being open about
what there relationship is truly like behind closed doors if they like going to
swinger parties. I’m not saying they should, a relationship is for the two people
involved, and that’s the whole point. Introducing someone else without the
knowledge of your partner can be destructive, but it can also be energizing
apparently. I just don’t see how it can help a relationship.
Whatever happened to straightforward monogamy?
