We all tell ourselves that maintaining a "happy marriage" is the secret to protecting yourself from infidelity.
More than ever, with our technological advances, extramarital intimacy is cheaper and easier. You can find someone to be intimate with anywhere, anytime.
Often, the underlying issue of affairs in healthy relationships is low self-esteem and lack of maturity.
Of course, not all cheaters suffer from a lack of self-esteem. So, what's going on for confident, secure people who stray from their happy relationships?
The fact is, we're walking contradictions. Human beings have competing needs that pull us in different directions.
Last but not least, I would like to suggest that we question some of our assumptions about marriage and monogamy.
