Has Extra-Marital Issues Reach An Alarming Level?

Has Extra-Marital Issues Reach An Alarming Level?  Unfortunately, the most recurring issue but the LEAST TALKED one are extra-marital issues which has been creeping across, regardless of economic strata or even religion or culture.  Just today, I watched TED Talks and the agenda was no less extra-marital issues.  Today as well, I stumbled on a similar thread from ChannelNewsasia💊💊💊

Truth is, from whatever perspective we look at it, most divorces are triggered by infidelities.  Unfortunately, infidelity is the ultimate betrayal  but does it have to be?  So why do people cheat this way and unpacks affairs in a traumatic way?  In most cases, they threaten emotional security although without defending parties at fault, psychologists point to that expression of LONGING and LOSS as the most common triggers of infidelity✅✅✅

And I can't disagree more with Esther Perel from her recent TED Talk.  No less than in tiny but stable Singapore, the kettles percolated the recent weeks when two key politicians from both the rulling [PAP] party and the Workers Party both had to quit, lest they will end up destroying and causing irreparable damage to their respective parties❎❎❎

Overriding question is, why do people succumb to it?  In these times where there is human diaspora [yes, even in the United States, the diaspora happens across states] and that emotional distance from a spouse leaves someone feeling 'UNVALIDATED or UNAPPRECIATED' at home.  So, when a colleague shows empathy, that''s when the seeds of percolation get planted📌📌📌

So is there a FIX?  Yesirrrrrs.  SET BOUNDARIES.  Work and personal life CAN'T get mixed.  Try living a life with NO LIMITS, you can guess where you will likely end up.  Second, AVOID PHYSICAL TOUCH.  Imagine the 'RIPPLE EFFECT' when a make colleague constantly holds a lady's elbows or even across shoulders.  Third and the most IMPERATIVE step:  COMMUNICATE with your spouse, pronto!  Then take the next step, SPEND TIME with your spouse [even virtually if you're 10,000 miles away.  Let's hope the infidelities will simmer down at least📌📌📌
