Infidelity & Pain

Infidelity is painful because it destroys the trust and loyalty within a relationship.

Infidelity takes place when a person chooses to become intimate with someone who is outside of their relationship. The most hurtful element of infidelity is the deceptive behavior.

A relationship is meant to be between two people, not three. Including someone is not healthy and hurts the other person deeply. The person hurt believed that they were the only one. This is deceptive as well.

The moment a person has gone outside the relationship to seek solace or comfort, they have harmed the foundation of that connection. When a person is in love with someone else, they put their heart on the line. In some cases, great sacrifcies are made in order to sustain it. Since the heart is the center of all emotions a person will feel the affects of infidelity right away. This will bring an enormous amount of stress upon them. In some cases, it causes some people to suffer from anxiety and insomnia.

Infidelity can occur physically or emotionally. Emotion is more intense than physical because it involves the entire being of a person. If a person becomes attached it will be because they chose to share themselves with the other person in that way. Intimacy takes place in this mind set. It will enable a person to continue coming back. Physical infidelity is simply sex with someone outside the relationship. This sexual encouter could be meaningless to the person commiting the act. It could happen once or dozens of times, but remain meaningless because it is just sex.

Infidelity can rupture the base of a relationship leaving nothing. The loyalty and respect diminish because the trust is no longer there.
