Adultery

             Adultery
             Adultery is one of the leading causes of divorce in the United States. A person's life is impacted on so many levels. Adultery can cause emotional, physical, and spiritual distress not only to the persons committing the act but to others around them. When one is considering adultery, one should take into account the negative long-term effects it can have upon their life.
             The emotional rollercoaster a person sets out on when committing adultery is filled with so many loops, dips, and drops that she must ask why she got in line for the ride in the first place. Not only that but, why didn't she get out of line when she had the chance. In order for a person to actually commit adultery there has to be a spouse to cheat on and a very good reason why she would cheat on her spouse. She may cheat because she's not getting enough "physical" attention from her spouse or maybe there are certain "things" the spouse won't do that a lover will. But, a majority of the time, it's because there isn't enough affection or attention from the spouse, especially when there is a long-term affair. The emotional distress comes into play when the adulteress starts to have more than just a passing fancy for the lover. She has to hide these feelings for her lover and at the same time keep up the charade of loving her spouse. Some days she may feel close to her spouse then there will be days when she wants to bash his head in with a brick and run to the arms of her lover. These conflicting emotions sometimes become too much to bear alone so she ends up telling her best friend about the affair, causing her friend to get emotionally involved as well. Her friend can either listen or give the best advice she can give, or she can end up telling someone who may not be as discreet as herself. So begins another worry.
