Infidelity

According to Wikipedia, Infidelity (colloquially known as cheatingadultery, or having an affair) most commonly refers to a breach of an expectation of sexual and or emotional exclusivity expressed or implied in an intimate relationship
Somehow, for someone who doesn't do formalities, it is widely known as cheating. 


It is just sad that in a relationship, it comes to a point that one is challenged in letting go of that grasp in the faithfulness pole. Many are those who overcome it, understand it and unfortunately, those who does not survive the test. 




Let us try to understand and see why and how infidelity happens. This may pertain to any given gender in a relationship though. 

Factor A : Distance. There are a lot of sayings about long distance relationships. One famous line is: Distance makes the heart go fonder. But let us not forget: When the cat is away, the mouse will play. Yes, we can laugh about it simply because it is true. We are only human beings after all. The lack of the presence of our loved one on our side denotes some kind of a go-sign for some people to do the things that they cannot do when their partner is near.

Factor B : Boredom. You do everything together, do the same things together, meet the same people together. Somehow, it gets down to your nerves and your mind is aching for more. However, some people interprets this kind of feeling as they feel the need of another person to fill out on what was lacking. 

Factor C : Unhappiness. Staying in a relationship even though you feel like there is nothing there anymore but a blank space. Couples tend to grow apart from various reasons, however, they are afraid in letting go of their partners. 

Factor D : Unfulfilled. There are just some people who are not completely happy with being monogamous. It depends on how one person was brought up and the things that they were exposed to while growing up. 

Factor E : Technology. With how gadgets and the internet seems to be swarming in every corners of the tinsel town, everybody has an access to communication. This gives way to connecting with the past and people who are included in your might have been.

Factor F : Itchiness. Hah! This one is actually something that I made up. Actually, the only point that I am trying to make is that when one is attached already, don't bother asking for their email, number or facebook account. 

I know that there are still a lot of factors which causes infidelity. We are at an era where people are smarter, cunnier ( am I right?) and sneakier so we have to learn how to out do them. I have read that we are like angels built in two's. Unfortunately, we were separated and we are given this life to find our partners. Remember, built in two's and not three's.  No other attachments included. Let's not make this world much worse than what it is now. 

Remember, Karma is just around the corner... so better be careful!
