‘Did You Know’ that there is behavior that may direct an individual away from fidelity in a relationship?
Behaviors that may lead one away from their spouse (or significant other) and towards another person include the following…
- Sharing private matters with friends before discussing them with your spouse.
- Spending inordinate amounts of time with one member of the opposite sex.
- Finding more delight in being with some other person other than with your spouse.
- Thinking that a particular friend understands you better than your spouse; therefore, you want to talk with that person, yet cannot communicate as well at home.
- Exhibiting an unwillingness to hear the warnings of others.
- Feeling youthful or high around one particular person who is not your spouse.
- Having romantic feelings that are transferred to your spouse from someone else.
- Behaving with aggressive defensiveness towards your spouse or others.
- Setting up opportunities with someone other than your spouse or finding yourself in seemingly coincidental situations with someone other than your spouse.
- Not paying attention to warnings or sound advice from friends; alienating yourself from longtime friends; finding other people who will agree with your clandestine activities.
