I heard it said that having an affair is all negative ...?

if there is nothing positive about an affair, why would someone have one unless they were in some way driven to it? Look at how hard it is to start one, and what is at risk for having one. Is any affair really worth it? If not, then don't people have to be extremely desparate to have one? What would make them so desparate?

Let's list the negatives and any positives you can think about an affair, and see what out weighs the other.

So far, it seems as if most see them as completely negative. It really supports the conclusion that people must really really be driven to have them.

There are no posatives.
Affairs are wrong, but there is usually something wrong in the marriage if it happend.
If your partner is not worth being faithful to, you need to set them free rather than cheating on them.
What are you doing? Are you insecure and need someone on the side just in case?

Having an affair is definately immoral and wrong...no doubt about it. BUT, it's not always a "negative" experience. Not many people feel free enough to admit it, but positive personal growth can come out of having an affair. I don't think affairs are had out of desperation. I think it's selfishness, period. I don't know of one person who's had an affair and regretted it........unless they're caught that is. I think that for people contemplating an affair, the one and only negative is being caught. The positives are too many to mention, if you're a selfish person that is....unfortunately, far too many feel it's a risk worth taking.

Actually, its not all negative. Affairs/one night stands are great fun, exciting and can actually keep your marriage going. You just have to be sure you know what you are doing and realise that there would be consequenses should it come to light. It depends on the life you lead. A good rule is never have an affair in the same zip/post code as where you and your family are.

Yes, but the desire to have one over comes all.

How is hurting someone you are suppose to love good? And then after someone screws around they feel like they have to come clean and tell their spouse. That just makes it worse. Live with your wrong doings and don't hurt your spouse just to "clear your conscience." You are a scum bag for cheating. Don't do further damage!!!

No trust, extreme hurt, possible infections, breaking vows, etc... Those are good thing? I don't think so.

If the purpose of an affair is anything other than marriage it is really negative so don't venture into it

Are you trying to save all the marriages?

Some have it as a revenge to their spouse. some have it as a variation in life or marriage. Some have it for respect's reason. Some have it for fun. Why don't you go and get one and try to find it possitive and negative point? positive points could turn into negative for the others and vice versa.

It is fun and exciting,it is entriguing,You feel like 16 years old. No obligations ,no problems no responsibilities.It is all where to go ,where to make love.It is fantasy..and it is a short time period .When reality sets in and you woke up,huh! It's a big problems.

I had an affair several years ago. For me, it turned out to be a positive experience, because it helped me get out of a really really bad marriage. i never married the person I had an affair with but that person helped me clarify what was going on in my life. When my husband said, "are you having an affair?" I said, "yes", and we began dividing up all our stuff, and we moved out. I was married for 17 years, and I'm so glad that it all happened because I remarried about 6 years ago, and its been a more wonderful rewarding experience. By the way...I would never cheat again. I don't condone it because it just hurts everyone. I figure most people do have affairs because they are dealing with issues that they need answers to.

There is no good side to an affair. You end up being a liar, a thief for stealing someone elses spouse, or friend, a cheat for doing that to your partner.
Why it happens, you get mad at your spouse or friend. It starts out innocent enough, but then you go one step too far. You start confiding and spending time together all in the name of friendship. If you would have just put that time in with your spouse or friend and put it in the same kind way you would having a loving relationsship. It is you have to blame the other person instead of talking to them the way you would with someone else.

An Affair? It's very negative...It's will just make one's life and marriage more complicated.


4everFaithful
I am a woman who had an affair. . .But 1st, R U talking in general relationship(s) or within a marriage?

I can't say I was "driven" b/c of anything my sp did or didn't do. It was me. I was young, selfish, foolish, inconsiderate of another's feelings, must I continue? surely U get the point. Anyhow, noone drives another 2 do wrong. . . 2 say so is simply a cop-out. Pointing the finger at another about what they do / don't do is simply a stubborn indiv's way 2 not acknowledge what's truly in their heart.

I & the person whom I'd had the affair, most surely caused another/others 2 exper heartache, rejection, insecurities, cheap even. it wasn't/isn't ever a fair way 2 get back at anyone or 2 improve any situation. it will in fact undoubtedly cause more harm in all cases. . .good/positive does not derive from the situation(s) but from the way one handles/chooses 2 deal/work with what they've been given 2 work with.

People fail 2 realize that we become one with he/she whom we lie with. . . If we truly understood this, then fewer would lie with anyone with low morales, ethics, standards of cleaniliness/hygeine, etc.

It can be. U can hurt people that u care about

i'll start w/ the obvious...

negative because someone will get hurt.

positive because, as selfish as it seems, it makes the parties involved feel desired and special again.
