Affairs: Not Solely Born of Dissatisfaction
Multiple motivations can drive infidelity beyond simple dissatisfaction in relationships. One affair can stem from various factors, such as the allure of an attractive partner or challenges in a long-distance relationship. Historically, literature suggests women experience greater relationship dissatisfaction leading to infidelity, implying a desire to end relationships. However, skepticism arises because women may inherently exhibit higher dissatisfaction levels or be more vocal about their discontent, which complicates the understanding of motivations. The mate-switching hypothesis, often cited, may oversimplify women's reasons for engaging in affairs, emphasizing the necessity for a more nuanced analysis of infidelity.
