Infidelity is a very fatal mistake in a relationship. Many households end up having an affair. Feelings of anger, shock, hurt, as if a jumble of knowing your partner betrayed you.
Everyone feels the same when cheated. However, the definition of cheating understood by men and women is not the same. A study shows that men and women have somewhat different perspectives on this subject.
Research conducted at the University of Science and Technology of Norway, surveyed 92 heterosexual couples to find out how they feel in four cheating situations.
From their answers it can be concluded that both men and women have the same opinion that they do not like affairs in their relationships. However, there is one interesting difference between women and men about how they feel an emotional affair.
Women see emotional disillusionment such as infidelity and dance with other men at a party as a gross violation and they assume the couple will not forgive them for it. Instead, men have different views about this.
Men tend to believe that the act is considered an affair when there is sex involvement in it. They understand that emotional infidelity is a problem, the study said. It's just that they do not know how they know it's an emotional affair and a problem that comes from an affair.
In a society where data show that 20-70 percent of people are having an affair or having an affair with their spouse, you do not have to be fixated on a single deficit. Just make sure you and your spouse have the same definition or constraint about infidelity.
